Must..learn..more!

I am starting this blog right in the middle of my pre-exam stress period 'cause I find having a project (or 12) helps me to just chill for some reason.
My most recent hobby is learning to speak arabic. It dawned on me one day that I had no idea what my name meant and for some bizarre irrational reason, this really bugged me. So naturally, I googled it. I already knew it was Arabic because I'm from a muslim family and most muslim names are derived from the arabic language. My first name means 'safety,' or 'peace,' and my second name means 'lucky.'(Wierdly my nickname used only by 4 people is Finnish for 'Morning.' Dunno how that works.)So then I started looking up all my families names. Since I took my dad's first name as my surname, his full name means 'lucky star,' which I thought was a pretty cool name to have. Hilariously my mother's name means 'chaste' or 'pure,' we all got a good kick out of that one. I slowly realised that even though I could read (and write very scruffy) Arabic, even before I googled these words, I had no idea what they meant. So now my quest is to master the fascinating and beautiful language to add to the list of 3 languages I know, including, English, Urdu, and Pitwari. I will also learn how to write the second 2 languages because at the moment I can only speak them. All this while trying to pass 23 exams. Admittedly they only come to 11.5 recognised qualifications but still that's a lot of revision. But I still find that I can never learn too much at once.
My parents seem to think that this is a really bad idea but I think that with my eagerness to learn the language, I can channel that keen beanity in me to concentrate on revision and it's really improving my memory. What my parents don't know is that I took up drawing as a hobby this time last year and came out with 4A's, 5B's and a C. And then in November I had absolutely no eagerness in anything to channel and got only 1A, 5B's and 4C's. So I just hope I'm reading the signs properly.
In case you haven't noticed, the numbers so far only add up to 10. That's because one of those grades counts for 1.5 of a qualification ( I really don't know how) and the other thing I didn't decide I was doing till January of this year. I'm pretty good at Maths so decided to do Additional Maths. It's not a GCSE like the rest of them are. It's something else which I can't remember the name of. It's roughly the equivalent of Core 1 maths at A-level. I'm expecting an A and if I get it I'll be so chuffed. I've already technically passed all 3 science GCSE's (Bio, Chemi and Physics) but I'm striving for an A in each one (no matter what Dr. Lahdi-dah says about me looking at only getting a B in Bio! I'll show him!) This means resitting 2 exams out of 6.
After June, it is likely that this blog will be ignored by me until my results come out, and it will be further neglected either until I go to Sixth Form in autumn or until my first set of A-level exams next January. Let's hope I pass the algebra test the first week of school in September, or that teacher won't let me take maths! Algebra's my strong point so I'll pass it and Inshah-allah by that time I'll be fluent in Arabic. We do use the arabic number system after all.
