 
Good morning! Today
I'm going to be doing A day in my Life in  Darija.
People have told me that they want to hear me speak in Darija
so that's what i'm gonna do, i'm going to do a vlog
with what I do during the day
First of all, I wanted to say that, generally
I speak French and Darija together
so this is going to have some words in french in the midst of Darija
because that's how I usually speak, and I wanted to show you how I talk daily
i'm not gonna make myself suffer to speak 100% Darija
Okay, what do I have today? Today I have work at 8am
It's now 7:56
I should be at the hospital right now, but I'm
I have work until 1pm
then I have a lot to do. I was gonna do this vlog before
but I didn't have a lot going on in my life. I didn't have a life...at all.
but today I have...what do I have? work.
and then I have...then I need to go grocery shopping.
and then I need to film? I think? or blog?
anyway, i have something to do...I gotta edit a vlog!!
I wanted to post it today or tomorrow but I don't think
I will finish it because i'm meeting up with a friend in the afternoon
and I also have an interview
I have a busy day
but ut's okay, we'll find a way
I just start a new rotation
and my work hours are a little weird, very weird
because on one day I work from 1pm to 8pm
that's what I did yesterday
I suffered a lot
and then the next day I have work from 8am to 1pm
like today
so yesterday I finished work at 8pm and I start today at 8am
I didn't finish at 8pm tbh, I didn't get home until 9pm
anyway, tha's that
and this is only every other week
for example, I work this week but I have next week off
because of covid, we're distancing so
we don't all work at once
only half of us are there at once
so that's it
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I got home earlier.
(my sister) not just now.
I literally just said I didn't get home just now
you're all up in my business
I got home, had lunch, got changed
I'm not wearing my work clothes
now i got stuff to do, and i'm seeing my friend at-
*to my sister* I'm leaving this in the vlog
her: I know *laughing* it's funny
mkay
i'm gonna go out to see myfriend at 6 ot 6:30pm
so I'm gonna have to do everything I need to do before I go out
I have a little notebook
where I put my to-do lists because these days
my productivity is zero. Zero.
I had this laying around the house and I started using it for my to-do lists
which works because i started doing something in my life
i need to fill it now with everything i need to do
i need..to do a lot. I was gonna edit the vlog
but i don't think i'll have time
so it's not gonna go up today nor tomorrow because i work late
 
so now i'm gonna work on my do to list and figure out what to do
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So now i'm sitting at my desk
and then i started looking at my bookshelf
and i started thinking...because now
no online bookstore
what it is in Arabic? what is it in Darija? what is it in French? i don't know
no place ships books to morocco
so it's been a while since I last bought a book
and i have a lot of books i want to buy now
but i can't because i have nowhere to buy them
but i was sitting and staring at my shelves
 
that's my TBR shelf
i did a bookshelf tour
two weeks ago, i think? three weeks ago?
so you know that that's my TBR shelf
but it's now full, there's no space for any more books
nothing! i have space for nothing!
and yet i wanna buy more books
but books are life, books are happiness
books are my serotonin
so i want to buy them, but i can't.
i had filmed a video too
about the books I want to buy when i can buy books
but there are even more books i want to buy
when i can buy books
which got added since i filmed that video
the problem is, my TBR shelf doesn't even have all my unread books
let me show you, i'll show you
because i need to call myself out to get my shit together
and not buy books once i can
this is my TBR shelf
there's no space. So much so that i have these books stacked up here
these are sent by Penguin Random House
This was their summer package
it had these four books, these aren't titles that
I would have requested myself but
when they sent them and i read the synopsis and shit
 
they ended up being books that i want to read
they interest me
because i'm trying to read more adult, like literary fiction
that doesn't suck but I don't
have much information on the genre so
i'm glad they sent me these to read
Insha'Allah I'll like them
This, Seven Devils,
it's the July Illumicrate book
The problem is that the TBR doesn't stop there
these are TBR, this one, this one, this one, this one this one, this one, this one
where else? this one, i haven't read it
and some others down below
so
instead of telling myself i need to buy books,i need to start telling myself i need to read books
because i need to read the books
Last month i didn't read a single book that was on my physical TBR
but i'm reading this one this month.
so
a little bit of progress, you know?
because i'm gonna read this
this is gonna be my Patreon group book
if you wanna read it with us, you can
subscribe to my Patreon, link-
*in Arabic* the link? is that what it's called in Arabic?
*in French* The link!
is in the description down below
so if you wanna read it with me
and a bunch of awesome people that i love
my patreon! this is September's book!
I'm gonna be reading another book on my physical TBR
that i recently added
so i'm not doing too bad.
i am working on my physical TBR eventhough
it's just a little bit, a tiny little bit
This book, The Colours That Blind
I know pretty much nothing about it but
because i'm gonna interview the author
for Color the Shelves
I'm gonna read it so i know what it's about and can ask her questions
The author is Black and from the UK
so i want to ...
support her?
You know when you speak multiple languages so you end up speaking none?
I don't know Arabic, Darija is gone, French is gone,
English...eh
okay, i'm gonna go now because i have a phonecall in a little bit
I just got home and found this. I don't know what it is because
I don't know any packages I'm waiting for coming soon
but apparently something came so we'll see what it is
This was sent to me by Julie so thank you Julie!
and i'm really happy that- you know, i'm so happy because
i was scared it wouldn't get here. That it wouldn't arrive fast
or that it wouldn't arrive at all , because it's sent from the US
and it's been a while since i got something from there
from even before lockdown
so i didn't know if it was gonna get here or not but it's here
i think she only sent it like...Two weeks ago?
It arrived super fast. I was expecting it to get here after two or three months
anyway i'll show you what she sent
The first thing she sent me and the reason she sent this package
Cinderella is dead! Finally, I finally have a copy of this book
It's purple
i have been wanting to read this book for so long
it's so pretty, look!
Today was a bit- there were a lot of-
my energy is a bit low right now
because i went through so many emotions today
and now my brain is all over the place
and i'm not feeling the best- I switched to english because
i don't know how to speak one language
but this is making me feel better
and, and,
the pin, from the preorder!
i'm so happy because it's so pretty!
when i get excited or start talking about books, english comes out
if i start speaking english it's because i forget to speak Darija
because i'm used to talking about books in English
it's like a i have a brain for books that speaks English
and a brain for my daily life that speaks Darija and French
here it is
it's so pretty!
she also showed me some of her books she wanted to...get rid o i guess?
so she sent me an ARC of Harley in the Sky by Akemi Dawn Bowman
I have Summer Bird Blue, I read it and liked it
I have her first book Starfish!
and this is her third book which I haven't but want to read
and since she wanted to get rid of it
 
 
she showed me the books she wanted to get rid of and offered to send me one or two
i chose this one
and i want to read it. I'm really excited!
Last but not least, this thing
it's upside down...um
this is from the Daevabad trilogy
I think it came in a Fairyloot
it's a tapestry and it came in a Fairyloot box...i don't know which month, june i think?
yeah, june I think... with Girl, Serpent, Thorn
anyway, one of their boxes and written on it is:
"Often the mightiest things have the humblest beginnings"
I love this quote.
Anyway, this is what i got. Now I gotta go shower.
and get changed and...
and do some other things because i'm still not done with my to-do list before going out
and read a little bit...
I gotta read The Fifth Season and Eva Evergreen
and something for my Freelance work
love that for me
and it's 10pm now so i'm staying up late
