Today started with an awful dread. I went to sleep late last night and as a result I woke up later than I was supposed to. I had organic chem quiz at 9:30 this morning and it was HARD! but I won't let it get to me! I can tell that my TA likes me! lol..she is awesome..I think she thinks that I'm brainy mainly because I answer all her questions in class and I never stop raising my hand and asking questions,while the rest of my classmates just sit there and stare with blank faces.After O-chem I had to head quickly to my mythology class..I have to say this class if fun and a way to get an easy A! =) If there is one thing annoying about my professor though is her saying"right" at the end of every sentence..for instance:"so Zeus was the son of corons..right" Aphrodite was the goddess of lust and erotic love..right" lol... it does get to ya. Other than that she's pretty cool and she looks like lorali from Gilmore girls! and just as the bell sounded I got a phone call from this lady that I have been calling for the past week and a half only to have her return my call and tell me that the position was for students with federal work study..Uffft.. I was looking forward to it but oh well..vot to do naa? So I decided that I won't let it get to me. I went on and headed to a place I like to call the somali library,simply because the Somali community at OSU are accumulate there, myself included. met up with two of my friends Ifrah and Hikmat..If ya'll are reading this you guys are awesome =) I dragged them with to early lunch at Mc donalds(amina if you're reading this, yes I did eat a cheese burger) because of my micro lab, which was at 2:30. I must admit, micro is infectious =p



Remember how I was waiting for a call from the gym about getting me a personal trainer? well, God heard my cries and decided to have mercy on me and I got a call saying I now am a proud owner of a personal trainer! and instead of a hunck I was given a female instructor .All those day dreaming about a hot trainer are now headed for the bio hazard waste bag..again vot to do naa? But I'm pretty excited on getting help with properly organizing my eating habits and working on a workout that will benefit me in the long run! =) cheers to the good life!



Today was not only about the dum o-chem quiz that was semi-disastrous, today is the day I decided that my major is going to be public health. I have to thank my ever talented and uber smart uncle for his never ending advice. My mother that tells me to always follow my heart and my dear darling dad, who tells me to do what I want but I know deep down he want me to be a doctor. Bless your heart folks =)

Ever had somali guys hit on you? if the answer is yes then you are probably laughing at the experience! because they are soo freakin hilarious! It happened to me this afternoon.. I was at one of the book stores located on central campus , so this somali dude who is probably in his 30's says "hey! what's up" and starts chatting with me like he knows me.So I'm thinking, this dude saw me in somali class and saying hi, cuz he recognized me; so I went on and said hi and he asked me if i was a freshman and I was like no. I came from dubai. He said "oh,really? does that mean you speak arabic?" I said "yea,duh!" and he was like, would you teach me? and I was like wtf is this guy crazy? I asked him are you in my somali class and he was like no. Then I got what he was up to(stupid much?)and I freaked out a little. He went on to ask me for my cell number and I went on to say that I didn't have one cuz I was new in town and I walked away. Talk about freak shows! lol..they chase the freshmen! Thank goodness for sophomore.Iguess they see us as old? So somali guys are lame but you have to admit they are funny as hell!

I realized that the work load is getting bigger and bigger as the days go by. quized,home works,labs and presentations! Isn't like just a freakin bunch of roses?

I had friends ask me whether or not I was home sick. Come to think of it, I never really had the chance to sit down and think about it. I've been to swamped adjusting and planning that I didn't realize how much I miss home! The loud voices, the play fights, the glass shattering laughter of my siblings and my dear mom. It's hard to believe that the next time I'm gona see them is next year! I'm not gona get emotional about it though, I know what my purpose it. I know that I'm here for school, not fun and hanging out! This shorty is on a mission! and I have to do whatever I can to ensure that I have a bright future. Just like the rest of us! =)

My lesson of the day is: When everything around you gets blurry and confusing, take a minute to stop, relax and think it through. If you have a strong and reliable support crew, even better! But whatever you do, don't crash and burn and most importantly don't listen to everyone!
