Date 3, 4 & 5 Recap

I have loved each and every one of these dates (including yours Asu) and I'm sad that it's all over. With everyone's busy schedules, its hard to just get together and hang out. 

Date #3: Asu

Asu claims that our date did not count but it did my friend, it did. We spent it, together; I watched TV and Asu clicked away on her laptop, finalizing some proposal. We fought. We laughed. We chilled. It was amazing. 

Date #4: Asmara 

Asmara has been wanting to go to Burger 7 for months now so thats where we went. They have really yummy cheeseburgers and the Napkin Zone Fries. You have to try them--they have chili and mac and cheese and onions and of course, fries. Ahhh. So good. The best part, its all halal. Beware, you will be in a food coma afterwards. We couldn't finish our fries so we took them to go and even though we both swore we wouldn't eat them in the car, they were all gone by the time we got home. We also shopped at Kingstowne and met up with Asu at Ikea. Asu is an Ikea addict and basically lives there. 

I also completely forgot to take a picture of Asmara. Sad face. 

Day #5: Samreen
Rena and I went to Mate in Georgetown for our date. Mate has really good sushi (get the volcano, believe me) and the best virgin mango mojito I have ever drank in my life. After some sushi, we went to Baked and Wired, which is literally up the street. I went here with Sadi a few years ago and loved it. This time I went it wasn't as great as I had remembered. The cupcakes are good but I felt like they weren't Georgetown Cupcake level this time. The icing was super sweet and the red velvet was pretty dry. Nonetheless, we ate our cupcake by the harbor. As we were eating, we saw three women walking around that were wearing t-shirts that said "We are sisters" and a picture of them together. Rena thinks this is a great idea and is thinking about getting shirts for all of us. Prepare yourself other Khan sisters. After Georgetown, we went to Tarboush in Arlington and then the World Market in Kingstowne. The World Market is such a great place! So many pretty things. 


And after my date with Samreen its over. I guess it's a good thing. My face isn't reacting very well with all this junk food in my stomach and with Sadi's wedding coming up, my face needs to be in good condition. Oh lawd. Sadi is getting married. I'm going to go be sad and watch some Harvey Specter now. 

Date #2: Nosheen

I spent Tuesday with the lovely Nosheen (and Utbah crashed our date). We decided on dinner and a movie. Okay fine, I decided on dinner and a movie and it was the greatest plan ever. We ate at Olive Garden and watched Guardians of the Galaxy; the movie was a-ma-zing! I am not a big 3D fan but that was the show time we ended up going to and I highly recommend watching the movie in 3D--totally worth the extra money.

Freedom & Date #1: Bushra & Ati

It's finally over. Driving to Roanoke wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was quiet peaceful. The Roanoke Civic Center was crazy cold. I should have brought sweaters to wear under my suit like some smart people did. I don't think I will ever forget where I sat: Lime, Row 4. No more waking up early. No more spending hours studying about negotiable instruments and the million different ways a contract can be accepted. The misery is finally over. Studying for the Bar may have been the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life. Worse than law school and law school really sucked. BUT at least its over! FREEDOM! 

After the exam I decided that I would have a date with each of my girls. 5 days, 5 sisters. They dealt with my craziness and they deserve time with sane post-bar Komal.

Monday was Bushra's day. Ati really wanted to go to DC so thats where we went. We got a cheesesteak from some place in Arlington (it was really good) and then ate at National, watching the planes fly by. Bushra really wanted to go paddle boating in DC but that plan fell through; don't say "paddle boating" near her, just believe me. We did end the date with a trip to Georgetown Cupcakes, which as always, is amazing; the red velvet and peanut butter ganache especially.
