Happy New Year everybody!! Yes, 2004 is finally here, and I celebrated with the people that I love and Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. Great stuff. My New Year's Resolution is to end this term with a 3.5 GPA. Hopefully, it will happen. Feel free to share yours. Out of the big three New Year's Specials, I'd have to say MTV's was the best. It had Hilary Duff, Simple Plan, Clay Aiken, and a rap battle. Simple Plan did a great cover medley of Pink's "Get this party started" and Black Eyed Peas' "Where is the love?". Plus Ludacris sang "Stand Up" on the Last Samurai billboard in Times Square! Dick Clark had a bunch of old people that did nothing in 2003 (except for Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey, the Ying Yang Twins, and Jason Mraz). Honestly, what has Donna Summer and Hall and Oates done for me lately? America's Party really only had Ashanti going for it; Ryan Seacrest just isn't the same without the blond highlights.

OK, everybody, it's New Year's Eve. The granddaddy of parties. Did you know that most Americans stay home on New Year's Eve and don't party? Far be it from me to not follow the American way. I think I'll ring in the New Year with a combo of Dick Clark, Carson Daly, and Ryan Seacrest. Remember when it was so much easier when there was only Dick Clark? Now there's so many choices, and you're often only watching each show because of just one singer that you want to see. Dick Clark is fun because of the dancers (they are so funny!). There is a price to pay for always living in the Central Time Zone, however. When the rest of the country is counting down w/ Good Ole Dick, here in Dallas we still have an hour to go! Conan O'Brien used to do the countdown for the Central Time Zone New Year, but last year that responsibility was passed on to Ryan Seacrest. His show does the countdown at the right time and shows the video from the Times Square ball drop at the same time so you don't really miss anything. How will y'all be spending your New Year's Eve?

Hey guys. I am posting this from my cell phone! This is so exciting 4 me. We decided 2 put off going to Houston until Thurs. Thanks 4 the restaurant ideas.

This mad cow disease thing has freaked out my mom. I tried to explain to her that in Texas we only eat Texas beef, which is not contaminated. But she would have none of it. I went to Gazeebo burgers for lunch today and I had to promise her that I would not eat a hamburger. So I told her I'd get a turkey burger, and she said, "What if tomorrow they announce Mad Turkey Disease? Then you'll be sorry. Only eat chicken. It's safe." Well, my rebellious side kicked in and I got the turkey burger. That's right...I walked on the wild side. The funny thing is my parents and I can't donate blood because we used to live in England. According to Carter Blood Care, we already carry Mad Cow Disease. That's just crazy!

I'm going to Houston on Tuesday. If any of you are familiar with area, could you please let me know of any good nice restaurants there and there location (address, intersection, etc.). I'm going with my family of 5, so it needs to be family friendly. We're especially looking forward to good seafood or steaks. We're staying near the art museum, so it would be nice if it was close by. Thanks.

my two favorite seafood places are quite far away from there. actually, one is barbeque, but has the best catfish in the city. steak... i would have to go with pappas bros. steakhouse on westheimer near bering (5839 Westheimer). pappas seafood (3001 s sheperd near w alabama) is good too and has a number of locations in houston. sorry im recommending a chain. brenner's has good steak too. its on katy freeway. ive heard good things about capital grille (5365 westheimer). joyce's seafood and steaks (6415 san felipe). ah yes and fogo de chao (8250 westheimer) has a great all you can eat meat thing.

i got all these addresses from b4-u-eat.com, you might be able to do better than i did using that as a guide. citysearch.com might be even better. hope this helps.

Yea, the comments box is back! I saw House of Sand and Fog last night. It was a nice movie, very tragic and emotional. Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly were superb. If they don't at least get Oscar nominations, they were robbed. Kingsley's accent was right on and he spoke Farsi pretty well. Connelly was so beautiful and could say so much with her eyes. You genuinely felt sorry for her. While I loved Shohreh Aghdashloo in Maryam, I did not like her so much in this movie. Her grammar was so bad, it made me wonder if that was because of the script or her. It seemed when she spoke Farsi in the film, she was a better actress. Of course, she just won the New York Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actress for this role, so an Oscar nomination may not be that far behind. She is getting a lot of good buzz. I think she deserves it more because I've seen her grow as an actress from pre-Revolution Iranian cinema to Iranian-American satirical plays she's written w/ her very funny husband to variety show hostess and finally, starring in American films like Maryam and House of Sand and Fog. A pleasant surprise in the film was when Andy sings at the wedding in the beginning. He's a great Persian singer that everyone loves. There were some set directing issues, like women wearing saris at the wedding and some Pakistani decorations in a Persian home, which were a little distracting, but they weren't a big deal. All in all a great film, I give it 3 stars.

OK, the Comments box is acting up again, which is really pissing me off. Y'all are leaving such gr8 comments on the other blogs. It's making me jealous. There was an earthquake in Iran yesterday. Thankfully, no one I know was hurt, but it's still a huge deal. I was glad to hear that the US is going to offer monetary support to those affected by the earthquake. I think it's hightime the two countries put aside their differences for the greater good. Today was the first day of my 4-day long working marathon. I got in at 8 and finished by 11. That has got to be some sort of record for a weekend scribe. Usually we start at 7 and end at 12. But I already knew I was awesome. ;) :p

I hope y'all had a nice Christmas. I got a Tiffany-replica bracelet, a pink express velour jogsuit, and a West Side Story Special Edition DVD (it's my favorite movie). I gave one sister a Saved by the Bell Seasons 1 and 2 DVD and Hollister sweatshirt and the other sister a pink jacket from Nordstrom and the Legally Blonde 2 DVD. I spent the day watching Ben-Hur (loved it!) and King of Kings 1961 (I fell asleep). Somewhere in there I ate turkey. All in all a nice relaxing Christmas.

I went to work yesterday. The Dr. only had one patient, and she wasn't the kind that I'm supposed to see. So I spent the day (6 hrs.) doing transcription. Some genius put three days on one tape (we're supposed to one day per tape), so we're 5 days behind instead of the acceptable 1. I was playing catch-up and doing transcriptions for both doctors while the other scribes did post-ops and consults. When they got back and the office closed, we decided to let off some steam at P.F. Chang's at Northpark Mall. Bad idea to go to the mall two days before Christmas. So we wound up going to this pizzeria across the street from my school. We were still wearing our scrubs, like all the cool kids do. ;) We got a large veggie pizza that tasted great. It was nice hanging out with the girls outside of work. One of them was the hostess of the party I went to Friday night. We chatted for two hours and then called it a night as we each made the hour drive home. Merry Christmas everyone!

Yes, and a lab coat that says "Dallas Internal Medicine Maryam". (That's my name.) It's pretty cool to wear a white coat way before even applying to med school. My job gives me 10-20 hours a week of clinical experience. You should look into being a scribe in your town. There are lots of opportunities in Dallas. It's one of the only premed jobs where you learn how to be a doctor, not a nurse.

Just thought I'd share this review of the LOTR III with y'all. I haven't seen it yet, so I don't endorse this guy's comments but I think the way he writes is pretty clever.

Well, I just 'returned' from seeing this movie and I have to admit that I am at a loss as to what to do next. Of course, I called my brother and my roommate right away to share my news. Once the obligatory gloating phonecalls were finished however, I found myself dumbfounded. Dazed and confused as it were.
In plain English, I must say that the reason I cannot decide what to do next is because I am still in shock. Not the kind of shock that would result from an ill-placed bullet to the groin from your nemesis. Nor the type of shock resulting from seeing your wife run off with the local preacher while whistling your wedding song. Nay, my friends, the shock I am in is the kind that can only come from having just witnessed the greatest movie event of all time. Perhaps I could better describe this movie by saying that my DVD collection just barely escaped a toss from my second-story window. Now, my collection is not some old, jaded, dust-gathering stack of polymer. Instead, I have the best of the best. They are well-worn and well-watched movies. I am throwing them out. All of them. They are not worthy of any more discussion. They are not worthy of another glimpse. They are but garbage when compared with what I can only describe as the Middle-Earth juggernaut of accomplishment and excellence. Future endeavors will be ever-reminded of what movies can be: that is, what movies should be. Please, friends. Stop reading my review. Stop wasting your time. Stop stop stop. Just drive to the theater now and join the phenomenon that is about to engulf your community and swell you with a feeling that everyone but you has just seen the movie that will change the way we look at movie-making forever.
Well friends, I am off. I have finally decided what to do next. Leave my woman. Quit my job. Abondon my apartment and begin living in the theater so I don't waste another moment of my life on this Middle-Earth.

I think you just violated that mans rights.

Tonight's Shab-e-Yalda, the longest night of the year. Basically, it's the Winter Solstice. The Persian tradition is to stay up late eating nuts. Yes, we're an exciting bunch. Have a good night everyone.

Hi everyone. Last night was awesome. I went to a party at the girl's house that I go to school and work with. She lives in Heath, TX, which is six miles outside of Rockwall. Of course, living in Plano that's an 1 hr. to 1 1/2 hr. drive. So I arranged to drive to another friend's house in Garland (1/2 way point) and then she drove me to Heath (she was also a guest at the party). When we drove on the bridge crossing Lake Ray Hubbard I felt like I was on some road trip across an ocean or something because you rarely see a waterfront view in Dallas. Rockwall was a pretty good size city, sort of like Richardson, but Heath was another story. Heath has NOTHING besides houses, and the houses are 1/2 mile apart. Basically, we drove the 6 miles out of Rockwall to Heath on a tiny one lane road with no shoulders or guard rails. One turn of the wheel and we would have rolled down a hill and never been found. Scary stuff. When we finally got to the hostess's house, we found it to be HUGE. It was like a palace. It was right on the lake and was surrounded by gates with her family's initials on it. It was three stories with 5 living areas and a guest house. I was surprised to find a house like this in the middle of nowhere. There were 15-20 people at the party, and I was surprised that I knew about 10 of them. One guy there had even gone to my high school. It was a potluck, and the hostess had asked for us to bring ethnic food. I brought Salad Olivia, a Persian dish which is basically potato salad and chicken. My friend who drove me brought hummus and babaghanouj. Needless to say, we were the big hits of the party, since everyone else's idea of ethnic was chocolate cake and pizza. The hostess was Egyptian, so we put on some Arab music and we danced a bit. My friends were surprised at my proficiency at bellydance since I'm not Arab, but they were mostly grateful that I was eager to participate instead of being a wallflower. I snapped pictures with my camera phone. If you email me, I might send you some. Then we all played Taboo, which is fun with a big group. Another one of my friends on my team was getting really competitive (think Monica on Friends) and I was getting caught up in it too. Unfortunately we lost, but it was still really fun. Of course, then we had to call it a night. I was really proud of my hostess for throwing such a fun party with college kids without ever needing to mention alcohol or any of that stuff. Whenever I want to throw a party for the Commuter club at school, the kids always say they want to bring beer. That just makes me sick. You don't need alcohol to have fun and last night proved that I'm not the only one who feels that way.

Okay, I've gone crazy with the phone downloads. The site has so much stuff that I want everything. This is what I have so far:

Ringers
Beware of the Boys -- Jay-Z and DJ Punjabi
Calling You -- Blue October
Get Ur Freak On -- Missy Elliot
Objection Tango -- Shakira
The OC Theme Song -- Phantom Planet
Snake -- R. Kelly

Screen Savers
Burberry
Daredevil
Keroppi Froggy Dance Animation
George Clooney
Keroppi Neon Flashing Animation
The OC
3 Tom Welling pictures

Applications
Tip Calculator
KTV Trial

Pretty cool, huh? I'm probably gonna delete some of this stuff, but it's cool to see how much you can fit on a tiny phone. I'm not really a game person. My phone already comes with Jamdat Bowling and Pac-Man (the greatest game ever!). Yup, PacMan, Ms. PacMan, Super Mario Bros., Pong, and DigDug: the greatest games ever made.

Will's exciting posts from the slopes are a tough act to follow when you're stuck in boring Dallas. But don't worry, I'm going to a party tomorrow night, and I will spare no details.

I've been playing with my phone ever since I got it. I found this great site where I can download all the ringers, screen savers, games, and apps I want for only $6/yr.! What a steal. It's a lot cheaper than getting that stuff from Sprint or some other sites. I've downloaded Shakira's Objection Tango and R. Kelly's Snake so far. If y'all know of any other cool ringtones, esp. songs, let me know.

I got a new phone today! I decided on the Sanyo 8100. I'm taking pictures of everything. Maybe I'll upload some on the site for y'all to take a look at. It's so exciting to get something new. In other news (ok, so it happened a couple days ago), they got Saddam! It was big news at my place, considering he bombed my house while I was in it. The cool thing is the soldiers that found him are from a fort a couple of hours from where I live. I even know people based there. Look at all these connections. It's a small world after all.

Greetings from a screwed premed. I made a C in Organic Chemistry, dropping my 3.5 GPA to a 3.3 and thoroughly screwing my Science GPA. So my grades this term were A, B, C, and C+. Things have got to change next term. I'm taking three classes where I'm all but guaranteed an A, and then there are my two science classes, where I'm really gonna have to work hard to kick ass. I think I'm gonna start studying O Chem over the break, at least make some flashcards of reactions. OK, this winter break will consist of studying ahead, working, and at max 2 short trips out of town. Sounds like a whopping good time.

Stick in there...ochem is tough, but genetics has no excuse. I'm guessing your major isn't in the sciences, so you never know -- a few more years of subjective bullshit grading. Anyways, stop messing around with guys, and pay more attention to studies 'n I'm sure you'll go far.

I'll tell you what my grades are tommorrow, when I get them.

Y'all need to read what happened to Will this weekend. It's amazing. Some people have such exciting lives. I mean, the highlight of my Saturday was my decaf Eggnog Latte at Starbucks. Although, it was pretty good. :) OK, I want to get a new cell phone. My current one sucks cuz no one can hear me, and all I hear from my friends is complaints about the reception. My top three picks are Nokia 3588i, Sanyo 8100, and Samsung VGA 100. The rebates apply to me, so the Nokia's free, the Sanyo is $99, and the Samsung is $130. For me, it's more between the Nokia and the Sanyo, but if y'all have experience with these phones and know that Samsung is better, I welcome that input. OK y'all, feel free to vote and help me make a decision.

Yea, the comments are back! Now I can read your beautiful words again. I'm so glad now that school is over for the semester. I got an A in Philosophy, a B in Organic Chemistry Lab, and a C+ in Genetics (yikes!). I'm still waiting on my Organic Chemistry grade. He said we should find out by Monday. Cross your fingers guys! So far I have a W and C+ counting against my chances of getting into med school. Hopefully I won't get another C in O Chem.

Last night I watched Shirin Ebadi's Nobel lecture on C-Span. I was so touched by her words and the impact her award has. She is such a remarkable woman; my humble words cannot do her justice. She is a role model, not just for Iranian women, but for everyone, of what we can accomplish if we just believe in ourselves and what is right. I recommend that all of you read her speech. On a different note, the comments box has been acting up. Hopefully the Comment This server will go back online soon so that I can read your responses and interact with you once again. I truly cherish your input.

Hey, y'all check out this Britney Spears Lookalike. Make sure you read the whole page. OK, time to go back to studying for my Organic Chemistry final (it's less than 10 hours away!)

I just saw the Backstreet Boys on Oprah. Man, that brings back so many memories for me. I loved them so much. The first American concert I ever went to was theirs. They were my favorite group. I even made a website for them back in the day. I got my Philosophy Term Paper back. I got an A! More precisely 114/116 points. And I got a 9/10 on my Extra Credit paper that he said he would give me a 6/10 on. That means I'll have an A in the class. Yea! Unfortunately, I got a 74 on the Genetics Final, meaning I have a C+. If he curves the class grade, I have a shot at a B-. Please, please, please! Readers, if my blog does not fully satisfy your needs, there is a new one in town. Allow me to refer you to Ben's Blog. It comes highly recommended and features comments by yours truly. Please visit and support Blog Brother Ben.

OK, just got back from work. I'm sleepy, but I have to do a third and final draft of my Philosophy paper. Of course, I'm gonna take a break to watch Whoopi, the greatest show, and Happy Family, show with the greatest casting. I'm studying Organic Chemistry all day with my study group. I don't know why I didn't think of this study group thing sooner. I really learn a lot of info with them and I retain the info. I recommend it to any of y'all, especially during exam time.

Average Joe ended tonight. Malena picked Jason, the cute guy. I think it totally goes against the plot of the show considering the question was "Can a beauty find love with an Average Joe?" I guess the answer is no, according to this show. It's kind of sad. Average Joe 2 starts in January, but the preview looked pretty lame. A lot of these shows are only good the first time around. Although, I really like The Next Joe Millionaire: An International Affair. Maybe cuz it was in Europe. Average Joe 2 is set in Hawaii; it could work...

I took my Genetics final today and it went great! I'm so excited; this saves me from the potential C I would have had. I can't wait to find out what I made in the class. Everyone cross your fingers and pray for me. OK, I just need to revise my Philosophy paper before Wednesday and study Organic Chemistry. I can do this. I think I can, I think I can...

These sites are pretty funny. Enjoy.

Site 1
Site 2

A Persian girl was runner-up at the Miss World Competition (and I'm not afraid to say it)! Her name is Nazanin Afshin-Jam and she is Miss Canada. Visit her homepage here.

I had my study session today. 7 hrs, baby, and I learned so much. I feel like I really know genetics. Hopefully I'll do well on my final Monday. I saw "Exit Wounds" tonight. It was pretty good. DMX is not a bad actor and Anthony Anderson was hilarious. Tom Arnold was little over the top, though and I still don't know what Eva Mendes was doing in there. I just read persianguy's comment and I have to say I'm a little upset. I know we have anonimity online so that we can have the freedom to say what we feel, but I'm still a little hurt. Maybe I'm too sensitive. Then again, he is a Persian guy and they love to dominate women into submission. Especially women who have the guts to speak their mind daily. If only he could rise above name calling and learn to better himself and respect women. It's such a shame because he's so articulate. I'm sure Will or gp would never call me a whore.

OK, now you're getting on my good side.

I finished the Philosophy paper! Yea! It's the 3rd one I've written in 3 weeks. I don't know why the prof arranged it this way, but he did. Now I am free to study what really matters: Genetics. My grades so far: 75 on both tests and 96 homework average. Talk about a quantum leap. I definitely need a B on this final Monday. I'm going to a huge study session at the school library tomorrow from 12-6pm. Hopefully, we won't goof off too much and we'll get some real studying done. Hopefully. It will be my first final this year and I want it to be a good one.

I watched Tru Calling tonight. Finally, a premed superhero! She took her MCAT today and spent time on a medical school campus. It's great how she wants to save lives as a career and she currently saves lives with the help of her psychic ability. How cool is that! Later I watched Scrubs (funniest show!) and ER. Plus, I worked at the hospital from 7am-12pm today. Yes, it was an uber-medical Thursday. I will be spending the rest of the night working on my Philosophy take-home final exam. I want to definitely move on to study for the Genetics final by tomorrow. Let the finals cramming begin!

I am told that guys don't like "attention whores." Do you think that I am an "attention whore?"

Dude, what are you talking about? I am so not like that. "give them a go" was just a joke. I don't mess around with guys. I've never had a boyfriend, been on a date, kissed a guy, or even held hands. I still live at home, so I'm not getting antsy for the chance to be on my own and get w/ guys. I'm a very nice Muslim girl, but that doesn't mean I'm not attracted to the opposite sex. I'm still a heterosexual. How dare you call me a whore, bacheh poroo.

Hi everyone. I just got back from threading today. My face is smooth and hair-free! My prettiness rating is going even farther up. The sky's the limit! When I left the salon, these cute Arab guys (they had blue eyes!) were whistling at me. While I'm usually repulsed by that, it seems flattering when you're leaving a salon. It sort of confirms that the pain you went through was worth the $30. Plus they were cute. I would have given them a go if my mom wasn't with me. The combination of smooth skin and my green contacts rendered me irresistable. I'm studying with a group of girls on Saturday so I can show off then. Today was the last day of classes before exams. I tried to squeeze in a few more insightful comments in Philosophy and the prof seemed pleased. My O Chem and Genetics profs dropped a few hints as to what would be on the finals, but that only reminded me that I had to take them. Groan! Well, I better get cracking on my Philosophy Take-Home Final. Good luck on your exams, everybody!

Ohmigosh guys, I got a 74 on my Organic Chemistry test! I'm so happy. That means my 65 is definitely dropped and I have a B- in the class. All I have to do is get a B on the final and I'll have a B(+). That's so awesome! It may not seems like a good grade, but if you had seen that test you would know how good it really is. I'm so glad this is working out. I just want to shout from the rooftops. Thanks for your good thoughts, y'all. I could not get by without your support. Hugs and Kisses for all!

Wow, y'all, I'm having a great hair day. I look even prettier than usual. Anyway, I sent my Philosophy prof a draft of my extra credit paper last night (it's due tomorrow). He emailed me back with comments. He basically "good" and "Excellent" throughout the essay. Then at the end he wrote "I would give it a 6 out of 10." A 6 out of 10! That's such a slap in the face. That means it's only 60% good. He gave no input as to how to improve it and it was riled with good comments. Then after that he wrote that he likes what I say in the class and that I make a positive contribution. Nice try, buddy, but that doesn't mean I'll forget the 6 out of 10. What the hell is that? Don't these teachers understand that to get into med school you have to be the best? Would it kill them to be nice on the extra credit paper? At least I put time in to do a voluntary assignment, time I could have put in to study genetics. Give me a break!

Recently, I wrote harsh things about someone I know on this blog. While I still don't like what he did, I can't stay mad at him. Have you ever been angry with someone and then they do something great and you remember why you were friends with them in the first place? I kind of went through that. I'm not saying I feel the same way that I did before; I can't ignore what he did. But I still want to be friends with him. I guess he still matters to me, like all my friends do. I just won't invest as much personal emotion in him as I did before. I can play it cool...It's kind of weird because my friends tell me to have nothing to do with him, but I don't want to lose our friendship. He's such a unique person that I know that I will never be friends with someone like him again. Am I making any sense?

So do you think my current judgment of him is correct, or do I give him too much credit?

Ohmigosh, guys, that test was so hard! I sat down and answered the first two pages w/ no problem. Then I started page 3 and I couldn't answer any of it. So I skipped it and went to page 4 and I didn't know anything. So I went to page 5 and I sort of knew half of it. Then I went to page 6 and answered all of it with no problem. Then I looked at the bonus and thought, "This is organic chemistry. Why is there a biology/biochemistry question on here?" I swear, he put two questions on there that were from other chapters, not the ones meant to be covered on the test. Then he put stuff on there that he specifically said was not going to be on there and did not put stuff that he said was going to be on there. The test was mostly Ch. 10, which he spent two days on, instead of Ch. 8 and 9, which he spent two weeks on. OK, this makes no sense. The whole test I was thinking, "The Carribbean's nice. I think I'll go to med school there. Or better yet, I'll just be a housewife. You don't need to know O-Chem to be a housewife. " Gosh, y'all, I left that test and I swear I was gonna barf. I sacrificed my Thanksgiving holiday and my sleep. What more can I give? AAAHHH, when will this all end!

I've decided that I'm going to stay up all night studying for my Organic Chemistry test. I would have to get up at 5:30 am to take the test anyway, so I might as well stay up. I feel like there's no way I'm gonna remember this stuff. The test is over Reactions of Alkenes, Structure of Alkynes, Structure of Alcohols, and Reactions of Alcohols. I've been studying all Thanksgiving break. I've read the notes, gone over the practice tests, and read the Alkene chapter. I'm gonna read the next 3 chapters hopefully tonight. I don't know what I'm gonna do if I don't get a B on this test. So far my test grades have been 72, 82, and 64. My prof drops the lowest test grade, but that means I have to do really well on this test and the final to pull of a B or B+. School has me booked solid for the next two weeks. I can't wait for this semester from hell to be over. It's driving me crazy and costing me precious sleep. Words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated.

Hi y'all. I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. I must have gained 20 pounds, but I'm sure I walked it all off at the mall today. I'm half way done w/ my Christmas shopping already. I have an Organic Chemistry test Monday so I've been studying in between the festivities. There's plenty of leftovers and of course, my favorite, pie! I love pumpkin and apple and we have both. Feel free to share your favorite Thanksgiving food.

hey there
i understand ur luv 4 those 2 pies. But ur gonna miss them real soon. wanna know y? b/c i ate it all

Today was a long day. I was at school from 8 am-5 pm. I checked my email this morning and my prof emailed me back w/ a few comments on my draft. I quickly edited my paper and printed out a new copy before I rushed off to school while the rest of the house enjoyed their day off. The students I TA for were so sweet to me today. It was the last class of the semester and they were all saying how they're gonna miss me over the holiday. A lot of them have been trying to get into the section I'll TA for next semester and I heard it filled up. Good news for me! One of my students even hit on me...more than once today. I try to stay professional, but I'm only a year older than most of the students, some of them are even older than me or the same age. They wrote nice stuff about me in the evaluations. I guess I'm just everybody's favorite. It's weird cuz this other guy hit on me, like, an hour earlier. I kind of didn't notice at first, then he started looking at me funny and the "witnesses" were telling me afterwards that he was so macking on me. Well, I did wear my pink turtleneck and matching plum leather jacket. It gives me this flushed, feminine look. That always drives the guys wild. On my way home I listened to "Calling You" by Blue October and fell in love with it. The first verse makes the guy sound like a stalker, but the rest of it sounds great. I rented "Run Lola Run" tonight. I've seen it twice before and it's one of my favorite films. My parents saw it for the first time tonight. My mom didn't like it that much. I guess it's just one of those films you have to have the patience for, considering you're seeing the same thing three times. I still recommend it to everyone.

I emailed my prof my first draft and he returned it w/ ample comments. One of them was that I sounded like a cheerleader. That's when I laughed out loud, I literally "lol"ed. The paper's due tomorrow, but I sent him a second draft an hour ago b/c he said I should. Hopefully I'll get a reply before the deadline at 11 am tomorrow. I'm a good writer; I just prefer English to Philosophy papers. I'm listening to "Addictive" by Truth Hurts right now. It's one of my favorite songs. Definitely in my top 50 best songs ever. I have just the instrumental version, too, for when I put on my bellydance shows. That reminds me, today is Eid Al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak! (I hope that doesn't get any comments about me being a "religionist".) It's actually not that big a holiday for Persians because we have a culture independent of religion. Our new year is the big holiday and it's not affiliated with any religion (unless you count Zoroastrianism). Unfortunately, I have school tomorrow, unlike my sisters and a lot of other colleges. I also have to TA for general chemistry from 1-5 pm tomorrow, which puts me in prime traffic time for my already an hour drive home. It also looks like I'll be the only TA since the others have plane tickets home. At least I won't have Philosophy since I'll just be turning in my paper and running out the door.

David picked Linda! Tonight was the season finale of Joe Millionaire and David picked the right girl. I guess there's hope for nice girls after all. Yea, nice girls! Now they're gonna live on their Texas ranch with their quarter million dollars. It's a nice thought, even if the odds are against them. But I'd like to think that they actually will be together. They make a cute couple. Average Joe was okay tonight, but I think next week will be funny when they put Malena in the fat suit. There's nothing funnier than skinny girls in fat suits (just watch Monica in the "what if" episode of Friends). Speaking of fat (jk), tonight was Pizza Night and I'm eating the last Krispy Kreme doughtnut. Life is good.

Today is the anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy. Having lived in Dallas all my life, I always felt connected to this tragedy, especially now that I go to school so close to Dealey Plaza. The father of one of the teachers at my high school had performed the tracheotomy on JFK when he was brought into Parkland that day. She showed us her father's shirt that was soaked with the president's blood. My cousin even did her clinical rotations at Parkland Hospital when she was a medical student and I hope to do the same. A song I recommend listening to today is "Friend of Mine" by The Byrds. I think it really capures the emotions that day evoked.

I have a 5-7 page paper philosophy paper due on Wednesday. I've been rereading the passage I'm writing about, but I keep falling asleep. The paper is on Laudan's "Epistemology of Light," which is not a particularly exciting topic for me. It's difficult to write philosophy papers when you're an English major. In English, you rewrite what the author says from your own unique perspective. In Philosophy, you give a brief explanation of the author's message, but the bulk of the paper is your own beliefs about the subject. Personally, I just don't care enough about how the scientific approach of the study of light changed over time enough to have my own personal beliefs about it. It seems too factual to have any room for opinion. Well, I better get going. This paper isn't going to write itself.

If it's one thing I can't stand, it's a slacker who wants to impose his slacker beliefs on others. Not everyone has a trust fund. Some of us have to work really hard so that we can live comfortably later. Just because I go to SMU doesn't mean I have a posh lifestyle. My father worked all his life to get us from welfare to lower middle class. I'm responsible for taking my family to the next level. I can't afford to be a slacker and quit my dreams just because there are sacrifices involved. That's what it means to be mature and realistic.

I took my Organic Chemistry lab final today. I got off work at 11 am, got to school at 11:30, and studied up to the test at 2 pm with some of my classmates. I had been studying since last Thursday when class ended. I was proud of myself for not breaking to chat with the rest of my lounge buddies, except of course to stop and explain to them what an appendix is and its function (or lack thereof). It seems my knowledge knows no bounds (yeah, right). My final went fairly well, but my TI-83+ calculator wouldn't turn on. I told the prof and he gave me a TI-89 to use. It kept giving my answers in fractions instead of decimals, and I started panicking. When I asked him how to convert my answers, he said he didn't know and took the calc to go play with it for a while. Thankfully, he came back with the method and I succeeded in completing the examination. If I got a perfect score, then my grade is a B+. I doubt that would happen, but hopefully I got an A so that I can have a B+ anyway.

Hey y'all, blogs made the front page of my school newspaper! Read it here. The blogs they're talking about doesn't seem like any I have ever read, but whatever. I'm sure there's many kinds out there. Smallville tonight was wicked cool, but The OC was so-so. The best part was when Seth went back and forth making out with Summer and Anna. That was hot. Seth's so smart and funny that it makes him hot. I've always gone for smart guys, not necessarily prettyboys. If a guy is really smart and uses big words, it totally turns me on. Size matters for me, but only when it comes to words...well, not only. :D

Hey guys, PayPal emailed me back! They said that they appreciate my telling them about the spam and that they are launching an investigation. That's so awesome; I feel like I'm really making a difference. It's good to be on the right side of the law. I've already got the tight leather jumpsuit and mask. All I need now is a cape...

I got this email today and I think it may be a virus. It claimed to be from PayPal.com and the subject line was IMPORTANT. It said that if I did not download the attachment, my account would be revoked in 5 days. The file was a .pif file. I checked my paypal account and everything looked ok, so I emailed their fraud department and told them what was up. Spread the word, y'all. The last thing we need is more viruses. Incidentally, PayPal is owned by Ebay which is run by the richest Persian in the world. Lemme give you a shout out homie, mad props to you! Feel free to hook a sista up.

Thanks for highlighting diffrences along racial lines. What we need more of in this world is more ways for people to alienate others. I am glad you have persian pride, or do you like it spelled "pryde"? But you realize that by having persian pride you are the exact same as the person that drags black folk behind a pickup truck?

No, Will, I am not committing a hate crime by being proud of my culture. That is absolutely rediculous. Do you think people who wear American flag pins are racists too? Besides, Persian is not a race, it's a culture. I don't think it's superior to any other. It's just that there are few Persian role models available, so it's nice to see some who made something of themselves. You would feel the same way if you lived somewhere where everyone who looked like you was perceived to be a killer. Once again you comment on something you know nothing about just to further you sensationalist agenda. Shame on you.

yea, i think those flag wearers are guilty of hate crimes. Look at what is done "in their name" if you support a regime that commits crimes against humanity then you are indeed guilty. (crimes agaisnt humanity would be .. dropping bombs on civilians and such)
I am sorry did i say rascist? it was because 'cultureist" just doesnt have the same ring to it.

And i did not say you were commiting a hate crime, i said you were no better than the people who do commit them.

Its just that there are so few persian role models? This person is rich, and you turn them into a role model?

As For a role model are you saying i cannot look upto mandela or ghandi because i am not a part of their race(or as you would like to say, culture).
I just think its bizzare to go out of your way to point out someones ethnicity/culture.

OK, so the Britney special sucked big time. It was fine if you wanted to see dry sex at 7 pm, but I don't. She actually did a cabaret version of "Baby One More Time." It totally ruined all the memories I have attached to that song from when I was a high school freshman. As far as the grinding goes, I'm a sexy dancer, but I know where to draw the line between a shimmy and a lap dance. There's a difference between sexy and slutty. After the first 10 minutes, I blew it off and switched over to Joe Millionaire. Now there's quality television. My favorite part of the show is the fact that they're in Europe. It's nice to hear an accent on TV every once in a while. It's funny how practically the whole show is subtitled because of the girls' accents. It was actually a really exciting night on the show since they brought back Linda, "the one who got away". Now it's down to Linda and Cat next week aka Germany vs. Czech Republic. My money's on Cat even though I like Linda better. Linda's too nice and nice girls finish last (I speak from personal experience). After watching 2 hrs. of reality TV, I blew off Average Joe. She voted off my favorite last week anyway so there's no point. Besides, I pick watching pretty girls over average guys any day. ;) I took a break then turned on Leno and was surprised to see Britney on there. Is there no sanctuary?! The girl is everywhere. I can't wait to see the numbers on her album sales this week. I wonder if all the promoting will pay off. Although, people may buy the CD just to hear her song about masturbation. She calls it a "sacred" thing. Sacred, my right hand.

Sup, homies? Today was a rainy, stormy day. Luckily, I got to drive around the rain and didn't have to drive during the downpour. That's the dark side of being a commuting student, especially when your school is 45 min. away and you have to get up at 6 to make your 8 am class. Of course, being sick didn't help either, but what can you do. It's just another step in the journey to that white coat. The funny thing is I do have a white coat from work with my name and "Internal Medicine" on it, so I could impersonate a doctor. But then I'd be arrested and I don't think the medical school admissions commitee would like that very much. Well, tonight's Monday and that means $6.99 pizzas at Pizza Hut! I'm gonna curl up with that and watch the Britney Spears special, Joe Millionaire, and Average Joe. Let the vegging out begin!

I don't like Britney Spears. I find myself strangely drawn to her and want to know everything about her, but I don't particularly like her. I think if you interacted with me we could be great friends. Most people like me.

I think I'm coming down with something. The combination of fasting, my period, and intense hatred have knocked me off my feet. Well, I've stopped fasting, so 2 out of 3 ain't bad. I went to the mosque last night. I got a lot of compliments from everyone saying I looked very pretty. I thought, if they only knew how I feel on the inside. I prayed for y'all, even him. I prayed that all of you would find what you're looking for, peace, and happiness. I sort of wish he was there to see the real Islam in action. You don't really know something until you've lived it and experienced it. You can't really claim to know it before then. It's not your place. What you can do is ask people who do know questions about it. You don't tell them and then wait for them to call you on it and prove you wrong, you ask like a normal person. And not in a sneaky "I know something you don't know" kind of way. Anyway, readers, I can't be sick. Not for another month, when the semester is over. Of course, now that I work at the hospital maybe I can never be sick. AAHH! How can I defend myself from germs and college guys (what's the difference)?

Well, unless I injected myself with a virus, being sick is not my fault. Nor is it the fault of a "someone." It's the virus. Yet stress weakens the immune system and stress was brought on me by outside factors. We do not create stress on our own, unless we dwell on something long after it has been remedied.

can you not also argue that these "stresses" were and are your own fault? perhaps your expectations overwhelmed your abilities? its much healthier if you feel in control of your destiny too. if you can blame yourself, there's no outside interference in your life. just rationalize it. they're your choices. unless you want to blame god and thats a whole different story. im not sure if thats healthy or not, but i doubt it. im not saying god is unhealthy, i just think blaming him would be. wow this is a blog topic of its own. thankfully, i dont have one.

I never blame God for anything because I know he is responsible for everything and places things in my path for a reason. He tests all of us. I don't see how the stresses themselves are my fault, but I do accept responsibility for how I handle them. I'd be crazy not to.

It did, but it's cool. I love you anway.

I had a Gilmore Girls marathon today. Nothing like witty banter and small town humor to get your mind off of big city disappointments. I've got like 5 episodes on tape. I like how Rory's in college now. We were practically twins in high school. My mom used to say watching her was like watching me on TV. Maybe that's part of why I applied to Harvard. I got an interview and it went pretty well, but no ultimate acceptance. Of course, Rory didn't go to Harvard either. I plan on applying to Yale for Medical School. Of course, my grades are gonna have to start heading north. Maybe once I really get over this whole thing and my rage dies down I'll actually be able to study. I'm one of those people who dwells on everything. I have trouble letting go. I need to work on that. Vegging in front of the TV totally helped until there was an episode of Rory going on her first college date. Then my mom started asking me a lot of embarassing questions about college guys and everything came flooding back. It sucks, but I'm getting over it. I have to. My future's too important to let it go to waste because I'm emotional.

Readers, if you ever want to know anything about me or my feelings for you, just ask me. I don't play games. If I ever feel something, I just say it. You know I do. I'm very blunt and honest. I don't hold back. Don't ask my friends about how I feel. Only I know how I feel. Come to the source. This just insults my intelligence and value.

If you ever have a question about my race, culture, nationality, or religion, ask me because I'm a part of those things. Just because you've taken a couple classes and read books about them doesn't mean you know anything. It doesn't give you the right to educate others as if your word is law. It only shows how ignorant you are and unwilling to learn the real truth.

Finally, if I spend an entire day being mean to you, it does not mean that I am in love with you. The volume of my voice or the strength of my argument is not directly proportional to my affections. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Conversely, if I am nice to you and want to spend time with you because you are my friend it does not mean that I am in love with you. Just like I want to be treated like other girls, I treat all of my guy friends the same. You are not special. You will know I am in love with you when I tell you, not before then.

Thank you, readers. Without you I would not be able to make it through this difficult time. I love you all except one.

I hate you.

I love you, too, loyal readers. This is directed to someone and he knows who he is. If you're not him, take no offense. I'm here for you always.

The lounge (my school hangout) is becoming a regular episode of the Love Connection. There have to be at least 8 people pining over someone else in there or related to there. It's crazy. I thought things were getting out of hand before, but things have now fallen out of my hand and are rolling down a hill. By tomorrow they will have gained even more momentum, I'm sure. Everyday a new crush surfaces. I didn't even think people got like this in college. I mean, we're old enough to be on The Bachelor, you'd think we could express our feelings. It's just hard to face the possibility of rejection, I guess. My big question is which of the potential couples will be the first to connect. Stay tuned...

I was thinking about this whole flirting thing. Maybe my guy friends just respect me too much to treat me like that. But then that would mean that they don't respect my friends. That doesn't make much sense. Maybe I will spend the rest of my life never understanding guys. It's funny. They seem so transparent...

Yeah, the frustration is what makes the game fun.

I don't get it. Why does it seem like guys flirt with every girl but me? Why am I always seen as "just a friend?" And not even a friend worthy of a flirt. Even when I try to instigate, I don't get a response. This sucks. I'm know I'm not ugly. Guys have called me hot and sexy and pretty, etc. All my girl friends compliment me all the time and make me feel good about myself. But my guy friends keep flirting w/ everyone else but me. AAAAHHHH! I don't get it and I'm so lost and it's pissing me off because I don't know what to do. I'm smart, pretty, funny, a good dancer...why doesn't anyone flirt with me? :(

This was a movie weekend. I saw Elf on Friday and Love Actually today. Elf was cute, but childish. Since I'm still a child on the inside I enjoyed it for that, but as I looked around at the audience I had this feeling like I didn't belong there. Maybe I should have just waited and rented it. It did not live up to the hype. Love Actually has a 100 storylines and only three of them were worth worrying about. One was disgusting and the other was insulting to American girls. I can't believe Brits think we're easy! Maybe it's because they think we're all Britney Spears (see above entry). I only dress like that on the weekends...
The best part of my movie weekend was seeing the preview for The House of Sand and Fog. Any movie about Iranians, or starring the fabulous Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo, is definitely worth the price of admission. I think now's a good time to make a film about that. With Whoopi, Catherine Bell, and Maryam this is the perfect environment for it. I'm looking forward to it.

wtf? Who is she trying to kid? Does she think we're all as stupid as she is?

I LOVE my friends! I have the best friends in the world and they are always there for me. See, we have this hangout at school. My school is not diverse in any sense, but in our hangout we have all walks of life. I actually think we have more in common than the clones outside have with each other. We're all close and stick together, whether we're matchmaking or getting through a rough test. Sometimes I even skip class so that I can hang in there or stay later after classes are done. I never imagined that I would fit in so well in college. It's the complete opposite of high school where my loneliness ate me alive. Now if only I could get my grades up...

OK, y'all, I went through a lot of trouble to figure out how we could get comments on this site, so post, post, post! Step right up, don't be shy.

So today was the last day of a pretty eventful week. I failed the aforementioned Chem Test, hopefully aced today's Genetics Test, and learned a lot of secrets my friends had been keeping. It's so funny how we all had secrets about the same kind of subjects that got totally spilled one crazy night when we were "studying." It's weird, but we totally got closer than we've ever been before. I guess that makes this week all worth while. That and the pictures. I love having my picture taken! I don't know why you wouldn't want to have your pic taken unless you were doing something that could later be used against you. Pix rock and I wish I had more. I need to figure out how to post some on here sometime. Well, I'm gonna relax this weekend. I've had enough excitement the past three days to last me for a while. Peace out.

The key to ANY good relationship (key word "any"; not just bf/gf, people) is communication. That's a valuable lesson I learned today. You can't let fear keep you from communicating your desires, lack of desires, problems, joys, etc. to the people who really need to know. That's a mistake. For that matter, you can't let protocol or wondering what other people will think keep you from doing what you want. And don't second guess yourself. Just do what needs to be done. I wish I had done that. Then I wouldn't have felt so hurt before and so foolish now. I live in a perpetual state of doubt, and I have to pull myself out of it. It's not a good place to be. Give me some support y'all! Give birth to those secrets in your uterus.

I just read this cool article. Check it out!

What do you do if you really want to do something, but you know it's wrong? What I mean is your heart tells you to do one thing and your head tells you another. Who wins: your head or your heart? There's something I've wanted to do for a while, but I never had the chance. Now I have the opportunity to do it, albeit bad timing, but an opportunity none the less. Do I go for it, or play it safe? Please help me, loyal blog fans.

you should always rely on a good balance of rationality and intuition, which is what i think you mean when you say heart versus brain. life isnt worth living if you're rational all the time. you have to give in when it feels right.

hope this helps.

I wish I had.

a joke...
A bus stopped and two Italian men get on. They sat down and engaged in an animated conversation. The lady sitting behind them ignored them at first, but her attention was galvanized when she heard one of the men say the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again.. and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time." "You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country...we don't speak aloud in pubic places about our sex lives!" "Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'ma just a tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."

I just wanted to give a shout-out to my boy Will K, without whom none of this would have been possible. Will, you are my master for life. I also want to welcome all the viewers from Will's site and SDN. Y'all are free to leave as many comments as you want and hijack the blog as much as you want. It's a party at my place and everyone's invited!!

I took my Organic Chemistry test today. It totally sucked. I don't get how a class about drawing hexagons can have anything to do with how good a doctor I'm going to be. If you ask any doctor on the street, he won't know what an Sn2 reaction is to save his life. It's all pretty rediculous. Why can't America be like every other country and start Med School after high school? That way we could bypass this whole college thing. These classes are a waste of time that could be spent learning how to heal people and save lives. Ah, it's only a matter of time...
