More education talk
Today is the 12th of Rabee' ul-Awwal [the third month of the Islamic Calendar] and is the birthday of the founder of Islam, Muhammad. Well, according to non-Shi'ite Muslims, at least. The Shi'ites celebrate it on the 17thSo, no school today! Yay

You love chemmy don't ya'? Med would be yummy then :D
Chemistry was my forte when I was doing my 'O' Levels. These were my subjects for my 'A's:
-Chem
-Bio
-Phy (eww!)
-Lit in English
=) A combo like that would make the 1st year of med school rather easy as the foundations are all set :) I'm in the first year and don't study as much as my other classmates who have their noses stuck in the books. Oh and I still manage to top with a high destinction (90%). Not bragging or anything here. Just saying your subject combo would do you wonders.
Again, for all unis in the UK, Chemistry is compulsory. They have this new UCLAS (or something of that sort) system. Check this out with your school counsellor. :)
All the best :)

You didn't like Physics? Quantum Physics and the chapter about the Universe - that's just amazing. I love some bits of Physics a lot, I've grown quite fond of it [maybe it's because of the teacher]. Oh well, we all have our tastes.
I'm not sure if this combination is going to make anything easy for me in the UK. Since O and A levels are both British productions, their Med School students probably won't have time to relax because they won't re-teach whatever the student is supposed to know from the A-levels. But it's good to hear you're doing so well! Congratulations :) Keep it up.
My school counselor won't know squat about UCAS [Universities and Colleges Application System], but the education couselor at the British Council has helped me in the past and I'm sure they'll help again.

Hey sweetheart.. Nah.. trust me.. first year of med school in the UK is easy provided you have a solid foundation! :) I got accepted into Oxford & Kings College to do med there but backed out cos of the cost (they don't have scholarship for international students)! Edi. was one of my choices but I didn't get accepted- they didn't even get back to me for that interview thing. In my statement of purpose, I talked about my experience as a clairvoyant psychic medium and healer.. Guess they didn't like that. LOL! :D
Bio and chem though subject combos? Blah..Bullshit. I got 'A's with 2hrs of study per day. :) I'm sure you'd do loadss better.
I got a freggin B for physics. I *lurve* quantum physics and love finding the link btwn that and spirituality. FUN!!! But other than that, argh. Its too 'mechanical'. :D
All the best hon :)

Wow, Oxford for medicine! You must be over-the-top smart to get in there. I know the costs are smacking high, but so is their quality of teaching/education. What's it like in Romania? I mean the costs/life/studies? Any sign of it getting harder?
I might end up with a B in Physics too. That's just because of all the stuff about gravitational, electric and magnetic fields. Especially the latter - it pisses the hell out of me.
You know, I love finding a connection between spirituality and Physics too. It's just natural, I guess. Astronomy really fascinates me, so I soak up as much as I can about it.
Thanks :) By the way, I've friended you. Hope you don't mind.

Nah.. not over-the-top smart or anything. Just put the intention out there and voila! :D
Romania? Well, its wayyy cheaper than any other place! And yeah, it should get harder later on.. These people focus more on the theoritical side but I'm at the children's hospital quite a bit helping them out there.. (One of my friends there who's a pediatric cardiologist did everything she could in medicine to help these lil premature babies but they werent improving. She thought two heads were better then one and wanted me to look at their auras and see if I could do some spiritual healing on them.
Ever since then, I've been frequenting the place and my pal teaches me pediatrics.. I wanna specialise in that after my MD (MBBS/MB ChB). But yeah.. the second years say its really tough and stuff. I don't know. Will wait and see :D I know the standards should be improving as Romania's soon to be part of the EU. To me, it doesn't matter where I study. I mean as long as I'm good at what I do and am well versed, I could crack any test out there. :D ( ... )

You do seem like the person who can add spice to things easily. I mean, each of the few times that I saw a comment or a reply from you, I got so excited, lol. I can be such a little girl, sometimes.
*mwah* back to you. Though, if you were a hardcore Indian, you'd type *chumma*, lol.

Well, I'm just really really interested in the whole Israeli culture and their language too. Guess it's because it's so taboo to talk about the country/its people/its culture here.. and you know how forbidden things become more attractive, right?
The guy with the braided hair is Idan Raichel. I lurrrve his music. And him. Ethiopian Jewish fella; his turban and his hair drive me nuts ;)
Chumma? Don't you know that word? Maybe not. It's an Urdu word.. sleazy Paki boys use it a lot :D
