[Ilikemyscarf]

so much homework to do
i hate being uncertain about my future. o well, it's just easier to take it day by day.

So after a week and a half of living in my glasses (because of pinkeye/conjunctivitis) I finally put my contacts in today, dehairified my nasty face and did my hair. I'm in my apartment by myself but it just makes me feel good alhamdulillah to finally see myself looking NORMAL again, I hate wearing glasses so much and being a hairy beast.

Here's a recipe to help with congestion associated with flu, cold, sinuses, allergies etc. It was given to me by an American lady who's married to a Saudi and lives in Saudi.

4 cups water
3 cinnamon sticks (small handful, if in pieces) <<-- i usually use 2 sticks b/c 3 is too strong for me
2 tsp cloves WHOLE
3" fresh ginger GRATED
honey
1/2 lemon

Boil water with cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan. Once boiling, simmer for 10 minutes and turn off the stove. Add the grated ginger, cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Reheat and strain into a cup. Add lemon and honey as desired.

At first it tastes gross and strong b/c there is so much ginger (the main ingredient that really helps) but if u add the right amount of lemon and honey it tastes better and it clears up sinuses so fast! You have to drink it while it's pretty hot (be careful!) and do it fairly fast (don't sit around sipping on it for 10 minutes).

i also HATE when u work super hard on your notes staying up nights to just outline chapters and what not, and then someone sees your notes and goes "ooo" and just DEMANDS to make copies off of them, not offering anything in return...it woudl be one thing totally if they say "hey lets study together" or "lets share notes" to which im reallllyyyy open to...i always study with people and share my notes with them but they share theirs with me too! but when they say "hi. im coming over to take your notebook and make copies of your notes. i really need them! make sure your home! ill return you the notebook in like a few hours!" it makes me so annoyed! espeically since this person has had a reputation with me for borrowing my notes and then returning them with food all over it and torn pages. i dont know how to tell them off nicely so i just ignore the calls and texts.

i hate that too i used to be wayyyy too nice and actually let people copy my notes, etc. but then i was like waiiit a minute, *i* was the one reading for 6 hours and taking these notes while whoever is asking to copy them didnt do any work at all

iA you'll do well on your test

[thejellymill]

I'm so excited for you Laimuun!

So like, after the discussion in this thread I decided to talk to my husband and reset our limits of interaction with the opposite sex. I don't like how friendly he is with some Muslim girls that he used to go to school with. One is my roommate (which isn't that bad) and the other is a girl who also attends this uni but he stayed with her family when he studied abroad. She always asks me about him whenever she sees me, it's really awkward sometimes and she's made strange comments to me before too...too much to go into here. Her sister is too chummy with my husband and has an excuse to email him because they now work for the same company. She called him at 2 am once for career advice and used to get all flirty with him on facebook. Idiot. She's the reason I proposed the idea of having nobody of opposite sex on our facebooks.

So I'm deleting all the guys off my facebook. Actually there are only 2 or 3 and I recently added them. Problem is I'm scared. I dont have an issue telling them it's for religious/personal reasons but the problem is I added and deleted one of them before, for the very same reason. He's gonna think I'm a nutcase!

P.S. I'M IN LOVE

Um, hello? I'm 6 months pregnant - of course I'm praying!

really? damn i forgot. sorry. for some reason i thought i heard it on the news.

the result of nervous breakdowns

[Laimuun]

my husband doesn't really have any female friends. he's introduced me to girls that he was friends with and were in his group back when he was in college, but he's only really in touch with one of them. and that's because I adopted her as a friend as well, she's really cool, I her.

so yea.

[Pushpa]

Friends of the opposite sex has never been an issue for us as neither of us have many, at least, none that could really be called friends. Acquaintances and colleagues, yes, but an appropriate distance is always maintained. We never really talked about it, it just happened to be the way we both roll.

We do hang out with other couples though, but they are all mutual friends and they're pretty similar to us in their ideas on appropriate levels of interaction.
