good luck heba, you're in our duas!

I'm soooo nervous, my arabic oral exam is today at 10:10 (it's 8:35 right now). I've gotten very little sleep and feel like a zombie, I hope I can remember the answers on the spot

Same in Pakistan! All my cousins are like "yea whatever" and squish them. I practically grew up there and I still cant stand them

I have soooooo many similar stories. the ones in Pakistan arent furry...at least I dont think so..they sure are big enough to saddle and ride though . Anyway, one time I was in the shower (when I went back to visit in '03) and I opened the curtain to get something and saw a big white one sitting on my retainer box. It was WHITE!!

The ones in Libya were hideous and they all seemed to fly there and were huge i think all insects are frickin huge there, alhamdulilah I'm not scared of bugs or anything, they just disgust me...and the sound when they're stepped on (this was on the balcony...i wouldn't do that now ) there was this one creature that was furry, had wings, a tail like a rat and scurried across floors and up walls. We only saw it once, i dont know what it was...wonder if its discovered?

That made me and at once
