Week One Blog Post

Saturday 9/13/25 was a usual Saturday in my family. I woke up around 8:30 am but stayed in bed watching my tv shows and going on social media till 11 am. Once the clock hit 11:40 am, I got up for the day and went downstairs. After eating breakfast I had my usual chai in the kitchen with my parents, the soothing hot tea calmed my nerves for the day. At around 1:30 my friend from high school came over to my house to pick up her bday gift I forgot to give her weeks ago in August, but she did not stay that long because she had said she was experiencing symptoms of flu. The entire rest of the day I spent studying for my chem quiz on Monday. Sunday arrived and I woke up around the same time as yesterday, but today was a special day. I got ready and came downstairs to flowers and bakery goods all for me. I picked up the card next to the flowers that read “Happy Birthday Umaiza!”. Excited for today, I ate the beautiful breakfast my mother made me and the chocolate my siblings bought me. For lunch my family and I went to Patterson to eat at a Lebanese restaurant and for dessert we went to the viral Chocolate House that’s all over social media. I needed the night with smile.
