Semi-rant..

Hello all,

3 and a half months went by SO quick I really didn't feel them pass!

Regarding this post, I have a little story to tell..

When I was a sophomore in high school, I'd pretty much decided that I wanted to study medicine. Hell, I've been wanting that since the 6th grade. As the days passed, and I was in my senior year, I was constantly asked by everyone what I wanted to major in. Being the only senior at that time in a science stream as opposed to my two other cousins in the literature stream, everyone wanted to know what I'm thinking of. So, being confronted with an enthusiastic 17 year old with the aim of med school would be, well, pleasant, right?

Well, people didn't think so.. And people would go OUT OF THEIR WAY just to convince me to choose another major. I've been told I'm stupid, old fashioned, and lifeless for making that decision. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but when was it ever a strangers call to judge what I wanted to do? When was it ever my call to judge what anyone wants to do? I'd never try to convince a person to let go of their aspirations or tell them they're stupid for choosing them :/ The only people who ever supported me were my parents + grandpa (LOVE YOU!), and a few other people I can count on my fingers.

The reasons these nay-sayers (tacky) would provide are:

• You can't do it.

My thoughts: You don't tell me what I can or can't do. That's up to me to decide.

• It takes too long.

My thoughts: Nothing that is worth having comes easy. I'm fully aware of the time scale for pursuing medicine, thank you very much.

• You're a stupid arse for turning down CPC, the opportunity of a lifetime that all girls would die (and drop all prior ambitions upon acceptance) for.

My thoughts: Umm, not really. I'm not that "mayta 3alaehum" as they say. Especially when being offered a major I didn't choose. Dear God, I can't imagine studying something I didn't sign up for in the first place just to be affiliated with a company of some sort, or "securing a job".. Don't I want to ENJOY my studying years AND future job? Excuse me, but if you think I'm letting everything go to work for you, you're wrong. I'm receiving the best education anyone could ever ask for and I actually LIKE the knowledge I'm learning! Besides, the more I think about it, the more I believe that studying abroad isn't all that (I'm not in a Saudi uni either so I'm happy enough (: ) If you wanna be a doctor, go for it. If you wanna be an architect, go for it. Don't abandon what you wanted just cuz you got a spot for a not so nice major (or one you didn't ask for but was put in). Because unfortunately, I know WAY too many people who did that and I sorta pity them :/

• You'll never get married.

My thoughts: You don't get to decide that, God does. Eli Allah katbah bi9eer. Even though you're studying business or whatever doesn't mean you'll get married either. Not that this is a huge issue to think about when you're 17.. So I was quite amazed when I got that.

• You'll never get a job.

My thoughts: Doctors will always have jobs (B2thn Allah). What if a huge pandemic attacks the earth and turns humans into cannibalistic zombies? Doctors must protect the rest of the population and save those who were bitten no longer than 72 hours ago. Haha, I'm kidding. But frankly, if I'm not destined to have a job, I'd be satisfied with the wealth of knowledge I gained. And there's always Doctors Without Borders, which I'd love to join from the first day I ever get to work!

• Choose something newer.

My thoughts: Like what? Jewelry designing? No comment.

With that, I conclude this brief post which seems to be more like a rant, but anyways..

Till next time! xx

:X

Ever since I'd announced this blog alive again, I haven't posted anything. And that's bad. It's just that I've been so busy, and especially in the past week I've been studying my butt out for finals on Jan 11th. I'm pretty back as it is right now and I'm really fretting on what might happen later on. I reeallyyyy want to pass :) Lol.. Hahaha.

Anyhow, we just entered the new year 2010, and I hope that it's a prosperous joy filled year to all. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

With that, till next time!! xx

I am announcing this blog alive again!! :p

Well, time really does fly.

I'm now in my first year of uni, as opposed to turning 16 in my last post.
Although I can't promise anyone that I'll keep on writing here, it's nice having my old blog back. I really do miss blogging. So now, as a first year med student, I'll try my best to post updates on what happens & what's new..
I'm too tired to think of anything now, but that'll change once I get enough sleep.
Which is something I need at this point, because I have a dental appointment nice and early in the morning (more like a few hours from now.)

To my next update, hope all is well!
xx

Okay. In about 53 minutes or so, its my birthday. My day of wisdom. Goody!
I'm too busy to actually write anything here. Got 2 exams tomorrow and I havent studied for any yet. I should seriously get the day off.

Yay :)

In reply to my earlier Wednesday!! post:
fil nihaya, da55alt nafsee fil ta5aruj!!!! IN YOUR FACE ABLA W. F !!!
It was the best thing ever. Mo min na7yat elfa8rat (which were not bad, BTW) bss elbanat oo all my friends oo kitha.. In addition to it being the best thing this year, it was also the saddest, most embarrasing thing ever (for unmentionable reasons :p) But what the heck, that made the whole thing more memorable.. right? And it made ME look like I really really care ;) :p (which I do. Care, I mean :p)
It happened with no will from me, whatsoever. First thing I'm okay, next thing you now it, my face is all poofy and red :p I guess that was because I'm really really really REALLY gonna miss them!! My 12 grade friends!! Cuz actually, ALL of my friends are 12th graders!! I know more people in 12 grade than I know in my own!! I'm really gonna miss em!! They're the only reason I stayed in my stupid school this whole year. Now if they leave, who am I gonna have left?? No one. Harsh, I know. May god empower me to complete the couple next years. I sure as hell know its not gonna be easy!! I'm really sick now and cant continue anymore cuz my migraine is getting worse and my eyes apparently, arent working well :p Will finish later!!
