Excuse my ignorance, but does this feature work on all types of cell phones...anywhere? :confused:

Yac, maskiinka waa ku goobateen... Jaamac, I guess now you know...threads like this don't go well here & certaintly, discriminatory attitude towards our Somali sisters (where ever they may be) is prohibited. ...oh yeah, glad to have u here..enjoy your stay

Yuck! My stomach just turned... :eek:

^^ And would it have been ok if she let someone else in? Come on!..

Salaams, I'm in my third yr, finally! Just about to finish off my pregrad semester A'H...and I still feel so incompetent...blah. Anyways,I don't know about things getting easier as you rise up, because I believe the first year was much easier compared to the second and third, both the class work and the clinical practicum get tougher as you move forward...or at least that's how I see it. First year A&P was bearable because I had taken OAC (gr 13) Biology & Chemistry back in High School...so that helped a great deal for me. The workload was a bit too much, but the classes itself weren't that difficult, personally speaking of course. But Second yr Pathology was stressful..and by the third yr, I actually began to enjoy my Path classes, because I was finally understanding the work instead of just memorizing to get by. And now, that I'm in my clinical placement, I see all those diseases we studied in the previous semesters, and I'm remembering all that we covered in the nursing theory classes... (about time too!). the drug calculations that you have to get 100 per cent no less Don't prude over this too much for you won't be drilled about it when you're working out there like teachers are doing to you guys now. I remember how the teachers used to drive us crazy with the IV drug calculations but coming onto the floor, you would see that the drugs come up prepared and IV's are connected to pumps and you just put in the rate and the amount of solution. They also have Pixis machines that dispense the drugs, kind of like a vending machine for drugs...but you have to make sure the expiry date and the amount taken out is correct... ie, it dispenses 40mg tablet and you need 20mg, cut it in half (sometimes that's easier said then done) And you don't have to put off your marriage plans because you're still in school....I know of couple of women who are doing just fine while having 6 or even more kids. It all depends on how motivated you are...and with the help of Allah, you'll make it through Insha Allah. Btw, where ever you are.... are there 12 hr shifts? :eek: This is killing now that I'm doing my pregrad, 12hr shifts 2-5d/w....sigh Anyways, I've babbled too much...if you need more tips, I'd be happy to share Salaams.

Some good tips there. What also works for me that has not been mentioned yet is using mnemonics..this helps me a great deal especially with the Sciences. Also, forming a study group is a good idea, but make sure they are people, who are as determined as you are. Then divide the chapters and let each person read upon that chapter and share what they've learned with the group (you take notes if need be)...and make sure you make your 'alone' time to read over and let things sink in...don't just rely on what you've studied with the group. Xaawo, talking to yourself isn't weird...I still do that (only when studying tho). I'd be pacing around the room and repeating things to myself during exam weeks

Hibo, stay Hibo! I can't keep up with these name changes anymore. :confused: DnD, still DnD? ...I wonder how long this phase will last.

Another CSI addict here. Used to love Law & Order SVU too... but no time to view it since school started, so I gave up on it. But CSI, I still keep up with. It's gonna be the second Thursday I'll missing it tho I think it's time I started taping it.

Originally posted by Yasmine: they're too old-fashioned', 'too domineering', 'too lazy around the house', 'too ugly', etc. Honestly, I don't understand why those who choose to marry outside of their race belittle their own people in the process. If you want to marry an ajinabi, by all means go for it, but please don't try to justify your actions to us by pointing out the undesirable qualities of our people. I will not disrespect your choice of a partner, so please refrain from insulting mine. Btw, I have nothing against IR marriages, honestly. And I actually think it very beautiful when I see two Muslims of different backgrounds together. But, I just don't see it for myself and I guess that's my prerogative.

They were annoying to say the least...

Hey, the only person who can call me a slow poke, is ME! ....Now you guys take that back!!! :mad: Lak, aan ku qabto, calool kuusyahow.

Brave indeed. May Allah grant her Jannah. Amiin.

^^ What makes you think we're not doing that already? There's more to Somali food then Bariis and Baasto ya know.

I never got it till I read the next comment either.

Shoot, and to think I've been going about it the hard way.

Gedid, Puhleese. Just because you're bored with bariis & baasto doesn't mean you have take your frustrations out on us. :rolleyes:

Bambina, yeah I've heard the same thing. But my dad used to say, let the girl study! she has all summer to practice her culinary skills. Sophist, lol. Good Idea. But do you think Hooyo would buy it if I say I refuse to learn to cook, instead I'll search for a rich Farax and get a maid, as suggested by Sophist?

I just realized no one has brought up the greatest song of all (my opinion). ...RUUN by Lafoole. Jamal? Lakkad? Anyone? Sorry, I don't have lyrics to share....I'm still new to this whole Somali music thing :confused:

^Lool! Cover all breakdowns...emotional & physical I soo resent that Ad. :mad:

Originally posted by Lakkad: this place somewhere in chicago...the gals come in,and their shoes are registered(numberd)and the guys come in and choose..later they meet Very odd. So, I guess every girl will buy a new pair of expensive shoes?... Kaafi, Like it's been suggested, he should go to the nearest Muslim populated city... and see if they have any Marriage assistance programs, and attend/register for one of those. I've heard of such organizations here in Toronto, so perhaps, the other large cities where there's a large Muslim community might have similar organizations.
