Halloween

OH MY GOD!
My favorite western holiday is Halloween!
Last year I found waldo in my chemistry class.
this year I saw even cooler things!

Mario at the bus station!
Professors in rabbit suits!
Cookie monster cashiers!
 EREN JAEGER!!!!

 YES, YOU READ RIGHT!
a girl in my university cosplayed as Eren Jaegner and I almost had a stroke when I saw her. I couldn't just watch, I walked to her and was like!!! "EREN!"
She turned around and was like "Yes, someone knows who I am!" then hugged me!
one of the best moments ever!
I took a picture with her <3
hehehe, she looked epic and I'm gonna die! I really wanna cosplay someday, somehow, with the hijab. I will probably go as a ninja but damn! I LOVE halloween!

The guy in my evolution lab is ultra super mega cute! okay there are two really cute guys in my group of 5, but he's just so good looking, and hilarious! I actually still don't know his name, nor am I too sure of what he looks like because I didn't get to stare at him enough. The little conversations we have I can count on one hand. We worked out a phylogeny tree together, we mated as fish, he asked me about the lectures when he went absent today(which I totally didn't get at first which made me look like a total turd.I told him I have a terrible memory and he ended up asking me how I remember to even go to class in which I answered, " I don't know!"), and he cracked jokes about today's lab. He tells the joke with a smug smile, and I'm the only one in class bursting out with laughter. I think I distracted the prof too. It was awful.

He just looked at me and asked, "Is this a trick question?" 

He told me to look at question 18, and I almost died in class trying to contain my laughter

Seriously, what type of questions are these!? I looked like such a dork!



At 6:15 pm, we had a little social gathering in karate. we joined the beginners classes with the advanced then watched Gravity. The sensei brought a full bag of junk food, we just sat and munched on the yummy fatty stuff! At the cinema, Revi gave me a birthday card, it's sweet that she remembered. Aside from my family, she's the only one that actually gave me anything.

Gravity is a movie, starring Sandra Bullocks and George Clooney, that is about an astronaut that gets stuck in space basically. the only thing I liked about this movie is the comparison to the astronaut as an unborn fetus in the womb of the spaceship and that at the end it felt like she was being born again.

It wasn't the best of movies, it isn't my type of thing, but everyone else liked it.

Happy Halloween,
M.D.

What am I throwing myself into?

This year:
Out of 897 applicants to the medical school, only 112 were accepted.
Out of 397 maritime applicants, only 64 were accepted.
I have a 15% chance of getting into that school, if I meet the minimum requirements.
minimum GPA is 3.3 our of 4, but the average gpa of those accepted was 3.8
That's an A+ average. I never ever got an A + average, in anything in my life.
for MCAT scores the minimum is 24 points, and the average is 8 this year.
Never mind the volunteering, working, and membership leading. Never mind the essay and the interview. I really don't know if I have it in me, to compete with these people.
I don't know if I have it in me to even ...15% chance... if I applied for three years, that still won't be 50/50.
This is mission impossible isn't it. I don't even know why i'm doing this anymore. I just feel like I have to. I don't know why, but I just don't see myself as anything other than a doctor.

What do you see me as?

samsung tab 3

This is my first post using the tab! I can't believe I have one.
today, as you already know, is my birthday. It started out yesterday at midnight, but I, ve already discussed this is the previous post.
I got a little dressed up today. I wore my blazer, heeled boots and the owl necklace my sis got me (which btw I tore this afternoon!!!) The owl got ripped from the golden chain. Wore itonce and I already damaged it, no wonder my sis won't let me take my tab out before I buy a cover for it.
Speaking of which, my sis and I went to try out the thai restaurant Thai Ivory Cuisine. Boy, was it fancy! And the service, the service was amazing. It was onky one waitress, but she was always genuinely smiling, she was nice, she knows when you want her just by looking her in the eye. She wasn't good with english, but she did well.
I first walked in and waited for my sister. When my sister arrived, she had a rainbow rose in her hand for me and I was just like.

 "awww". Noone ever gave me flowers before♡

I took the pad thai combo and it tasted good, but I wouldn't order it again. Not that great, maybe curry for next time. My sister left for her class and I ordered dessert to go. I paid and left and as I walked away the waitress shouts for me. She's like "your icecream!"
Yeah, I totally forgot to take my food. I walked back in laughing nervously and she laughed and told me that I can't leave it here because I already paid for it!
She was sweet.
I have some work to do today, but so far, it's been a good day alhamdulellah.
Im still not used to the tab, it's odd because I have a smart phone and laptop. The tab will come to use in the university for when I read manga and fool around or when I travel.
oh! Speaking of travel, have I mentioned that im going to kuwait in christmas? I'm super excited to escape this horribly cold weather.
peace,
M.D.

19 years old!

AAAAH! it's my birthday today!

I just turned 19 and, oh my Lord, right before I was going to sleep I felt this box under my blanket. When I looked at it, it turned out to be covered in a pink wrapper. Only then, did it dawn onto me that it was my sister's gift for me!

She (and the family) got me the samsung tab 3 !!! can you believe it ?! It's white and purty!
Then the sweet card that came along with it!

The cover said: "Here's something to make your birthday exciting!"
and when I open it :

I'm seriously tempted to wear that sticker on my back pocket tomorrow!

Niche

I'm not sure what to write here any longer. I asked a blogger that has about a hundred followers or so on how she managed to rake them in. She answered that first of all, she doesn't know much about blogging, which, is humble to say, but a punch in the gut. Second of all, she suggested I develop my own "niche".
After searching what niche is; yes, I'm ignorant, it turned out to be that it's just a major personality, an identity, or like the comfort zone for a person. I do and don't have it! (Ironically we took niche in ecology today, but it has a different definition there!)
You see, I'm the moving disaster; I'm unique and original...just like everyone else.

I do feel comfortable writing my opinions on some mangas. I am also aware that I am doing a horrible job at critiquing them. I'm not proving sufficient information on characters, nor plot really. I just simply state how it made me feel and why I like it.

I don't enjoy writing about the events that occur during the day, or such things. I do feel like I should write them, for myself though. I do like looking back at the strange things I've done, or laugh at some funny things, maybe how stupid I was? How much I grew? Memories, no matter how small, that I don't ever wanna forget.
I know I'm doing a horrible job at this, but I don't know if I'll ever want to direct my whole blog about just one thing!

On other news, there was a little meeting today in university. A representative of the medical school of my province came over to our university to answer some questions. Three important questions she answered for me was, 1) adding the faculty of art to my faculty of science is not really impressive, so don't bother. 2) the MCAT does change in 2015, but that doesn't mean I can't take the 2014 one and apply with it. 3) a sport or hobby can be added to my application to improve it as long as I can prove it.
The last one made me so happy! I thought I was just wasting my time with karate, but I guess not! I can totally include that and I have several senseis to witness my involvement. I honestly joined karate in university just to spite my bitchy principal from high school. The woman made it seem like I'm a slut for wanting to join a sport that has a man for a coach. She actually told me "you wanna hop around in front of men?" and, even my sensei took offense in her rejection, even though he wasn't there to hear it. He knew why and he got upset for me too. He's a married man in his thirties, and he's a father too. It's really insulting to accuse a man of even thinking that he may look at a girl inappropriately. It's even worse to accuse a high school girl of it, specially since I never ever had that thought in mind what so ever!
Just to prove that I'm more motivated by rejection than praise.

A Call from Ro

Augh, I still have tons of things to do but I'm at least done with my discussion!

My cousin Ro called my older sister today. Now, she never ever met Ro in her life so she got confused by the sudden call and gave me the phone to talk to him. I've met him twice or thrice before, but he never really called me or even chatted with me or anything like that. Last time I saw him, we were both sleeping over at Aunt H's house in Oman and my sister and I scribbled on his face with makeup while he was asleep. He grew an allergic reaction to it. Anyways, I think it was strange that he called ...but nice.
Ro asked me about university and such, it turns out his dad wants him to make up his mind about his future by the end of this year. Did I mention he was only in 8th grade? Odd isn't it. I think it's a lot of unnecessary pressure consider I'm in second year of university and still am unsure of what I'm going to do with myself. I told him to see what he wants to work  in before deciding on a major to pursue. Once he finds what he wants its easier to look at what he needs to complete it. I also told him to just focus on his studies for now.
I think he only called for that reason, but he told me he wanted to just "catch up" with us. His voice changed too, it's deep now.

On other news, I have an instagram now (about time, right?).I plan on accepting anyone there, almost like twitter I suppose. I plan on hooking twitter here too, but I'm not entirely sure when, if ever, that will happen. I also updated my goodreads page. I suppose you can find me in almost every single site if you just search for "moving disaster"!

Take care!
M.D.

Feeling Unwell

I don't feel well today. It's one of those moments where you just feel bad, but without a particular reason.

I have fallen behind on my lab reports. It's the weekend, so it's alright. I still have time, but there is so much that I am unsure of. I have also forgotten to hand in my three references last week, so that will pile up with this week's load. I also have a discussion due tomorrow for psychology class. I have a feeling I will be forgetting to do it. Cooking is something else I must do today. The room is also a giant mess that I want to take care of.

Wish me luck guys,
M.D.

Happy for Food

I cooked green bean in tomato stew yesterday. I steamed some rice with it yesterday too. I wonder if it could be called a gumbo. I'm not eniterly sure. I'm so glad I cooked yesterday because all I will be doing to day is go back home and eat!
I'm so hungry. I can't wait until the lab is over so that I can eat!
I also have to count the lemna leaves too. I shall do so in a few minutes before the class starts. I should do so before Kira comes too, she might be a distraction from the counting!

I also have karate today, my bruise has faded, so I hope we're punching those boards again today. I refuse to accept defeat!

best regards,
M.D.

Death Course Test Grade

I took a 2 hour nap today at 6:30.

I woke up thinking it was morning, and that I'm late to class. I freaked out a bit, but all was good. I'm a little groggy but I feel better after the nap.

Earlier today, I went to confront my professor about my grade. You see, I got 79% on my test and when I asked what I did wrong on the essay questions, his reply was "Nothing, you just needed to elaborate more". That really had me boiling for two days before I went to his office hour today to get the exact information he wanted me to provide. I think I'll do a bit better next time, and I think he will try harder to explain the questions. He said he'll try to give us a class before the test just to discuss what will be on the test. I told him that I knew what was coming, and I knew the answers, but that I wasn't sure how much I was supposed to say.  That's why I was bothered with my grade anyways. I can't live my life as a slightly above average student. Not if I want to be a doctor, not if I want to accomplish anything in my life.

Cemetery

For today's ecology lab, we went to the cemetery to record 50 men and 50 women's age of death. It got pretty awkward when I shouted "woman! 37" to my partner, then looked behind me and noticed a group of high school students walking by looking suspiciously at us. Nothing out of the ordinary here, a month ago we were counting grass, it's about time we have risen in this hierarchy.

I have also bruised my knuckle punching re-breakable plastic punching boards. I think it's because I wasn't using my hips well, and the distance wasn't covered as much as it should have.

Oh well, wounds of a warrior!!
