day four

Today was tough. I feel a bit weaker, but it could be that I stayed up super late again. And I've started to notice that I'm getting really cold easily. Whether that's an effect of the fasting or not, I don't know. It could be that the weather is just getting cooler. I think I just need to eat more at night. Hmm.

I stayed up until 4 a.m. writing a proposal for the first-ever AIESEC Gulf Country Cooperative (GCC) conference. It's become my pet project and just thinking about it happening inspires me when I have a down moment. I won't drop details now, but let it be known that if we can pull this off, it will be the cooooolest thing to hit the Gulf since Range Rovers and roundabouts.

Iftar was with a bunch of the members last night at...... Ponderosa. Yes. Ewwwwww. Whatever. I ate a lot of salad. After eating, we went to a shisha place and chilled for a while. Apparently it was not time to stop eating and hanging out despite the late hour, so I ran home to grab blankets and we drove to the most picturesque spot in Doha, sat on the sand overlooking the corniche and chatted about life.

MC planning this morning was equally as inspiring as the conversations I had with members last night. Who said that the third month always brings the most culture shock? I feel like everything's finally falling into place.

That's enough blogging for now... it's six minutes until iftar time! Mmmm... I can already taste the sticky sweetness of the date being washed down with gulps of water... :)
