Day Off

The past month has been quite hectic for me with the thousand and one assignments on my tray which of course took most up of my time to complete. Last week was especially bad because there were just too many things to be done and submitted at the same time.

Yesterday, I finally submitted my tutorial paper which was the last of the 'bad batch' of assignments. Out of three topics, I chose "The Meaning of Home: What creates significance?" and I thought it'd be a pretty cool topic at first. It can actually be a great topic to write about if I hadn't had that writer's block. So you can just imagine how bummed I was that I didn't get to fully engage with that topic and I felt as if I did it half ass. I can't do much about it though since it has already been submitted (yeay! let's just hope my 6% similarity with other written work will be credited).

Since I've been stumped for the past few weeks, I decided to give myself a little treat and gave myself a day off. Naturally, my first thought was to go to the city. And to the city I went. I originally had so many plans. Go to coffee shops, watch a movie, shop for things. I ended up doing 1 of the 3. Guess which one *insert monkey emoji*

 

I got these awesome babies for $15 (From Payless Shoes). To be extremely honest, I wanted oxford shoes. I've been aiming for them for a while now. But somehow ... with the price and everything ..... just couldn't resist them (such a girl, Mira).

I ended up spending most of my day in the city just walking around and browsing clothes (this is why I like shopping alone, I take literally hours to decide whether I want something or not).

I'll probably do another 1 out of the 3 today. I'm not declaring today a day off but i still feel like watching that movie. I really do take my time off from assignments quite seriously because I know when the week is over, more submissions are to come pretty soon.

Tip:

For Muslim girls who also love to spend hours of their day shopping but you have no idea where the surau is, pray in the fitting rooms (or a parent's room works too). Take some clothes and before you try them on, pray first! It's much easier if you take your wudhu' from home so that you don't have to find a toilet when you're there. In Brisbane CBD, the fitting rooms I remember to be quite big and decent enough to pray in are Temt and Paper's and Scissors. Happy shopping loves!
