Estudy

Today, at the coffee shop while I was studying, this emo looking high school couple came and plopped down about 2 tables away from me. And then they started being all stupid with each other and talking out loud so I could purposely hear. I heard something about his "erectile disfunction" or something (these kids were like, 15) and I knew then that they were being idiotic on purpose. I think the girl took one look at me and decided she didn't like me or something. Which was o.k. because the way they were acting with each other made me want to smack them both upside their heads. Ugh, emo people who feel the need to slap a significant amount of eyeliner on and talk out loud to get attention are, in my opinion, exactly that. Attention whores.

Aside from that, I got through the excretory and digestive system, in detail. My God, my life is boring. I'm gonna shut up on here and my girlfriend is on the phone with me right now. Hehe, toodles!

Another OAT Update *sigh*

Lately I've definitely been getting more stuff done with preparations for the OAT. I think that is because I had too many interruptions at home so I decided to go back to studying at coffee shops. My good friend told me about one and I have to say it is THE perfect place for studying. It's not a crowded Starbucks type place and the music is on low so I can concentrate! Hooriyah for me! Tomorrow (or I should say today considering how late I am typing this) is Friday though and they are going to have a live band, but apparently it's not supposed to be too bad so I'll see if I can still continue to study there on weekend nights.

Oh, yeah and today my brother invited my family and relatives over to his newly furnished house that he just moved into. I should mention that I used to live there before he did, although it was always his, because I hated living at home and the long commute to the university I attend; but, I have moved back home now and am sticking it out and shall see how this goes. Except I didn't go even though he really wanted me to come :o(. I haven't been going to a lot of get-togethers whether it be social or familial because I need to really spend most my time studying. I don't mean to be such a bore with all this OAT talk but I really want to do well so I can get into optometry school. With that said, I CANNOT WAIT till this OAT nonsense is over and I can relax and party it up a bit! I sure as hell deserve to since I've confined myself from everything. I even deactivated my facebook (*gasp*)! I have written down a list of things I want to do once all this is over which include: books I want to buy and read, finish decorating my room (I recently painted the walls a mustardy yellow color and it looks fabulous), go out on random nights and have a glass of wine (so not Muslim-like I know but oh well, I have flaws my friends), smoke hookah at a cafe (although this may not be Muslim-like, it is middle-eastern like), dress up and look something close to the female species that I am... oh, you know the simple things! I can't wait!!!!

My 21st birthday (omg) is in exactly 3 days and I will not be celebrating :o(. However, I have a birthday getaway trip I plan to execute with my closest girlfriends as soon as my OAT's are done and over with! Hooriyah! Lol, man I can be so fobby...

BTW, I think I just drank water out of a glass on my night stand that Cashmere may or may not have drank out of... *shrug* oh, well.

O.K. so tonight I pretty much had something close to a panic attack about the OAT. I realized I still have a long way to go with not much time as I really want to get it over with this summer and not prolong it any further. I even feel light headed and am telling myself to breathe! I decided to write myself an agenda for the next day and stick it on the hutch of my desk for the things I MUST get done. This is going to be one of the most nerve-wracking experiences in my life, I know :o(. *Sigh*, but it's o.k. I just have to keep pushing myself and praying to God that He will give me the strength and focus to keep me going. Praying helps me calm myself as well.

So besides all the studying, I got really interested in upgrading my T-mobile Dash to a Blackberry Curve 8900 b/c idk, my cousin came over and we got into the convo of phones and whatnot. Anywho, so I discovered I could lower my family minutes since we never use them all and get the BB with the data service plan for a lower price we are paying monthly right now. Except when I told my mom, she made me lower the minutes to lower our monthly payment and said "bikhod" (which means "no way" in English) to me getting the new phone (as my birthday present) and adding the internet and stuff. But after a bit of convincing she said she'd think about it. Irooni mothers, man!

Well, I guess that was pretty much it for today. Time to watch SATC! Or maybe I'll make it Friends this time...and then sleep of course, its already so late! I'm a definite night owl :o/

But you can take a look at this:

FW: Kitties

just thought id test this mobile blogging thing out...these r my two kitties, the girl in the front and the boy in the back behind the box thing. they always come on my desk while im studying. sure that makes them sound cute, but they also poop randomly in corners around the house and me and my sister have to clean up after them...all i gotta say is, thank God for Resolve!!

P.S. I, for some reason, cannot sleep early and so I stumbled upon this:

^ freakin awesome!

First blog post! This is all very new to me, blogging and what not. But let's see where this goes. So the title of my blog says a little about me but a little more in depth: I was born and raised here in the U.S. but both my parents are from Iran. Tehran specifically. I am currently studying for my OAT's right now and well that is what I should be doing at this very moment but as you can tell, I am not. Shame on me! This OAT thing has really secluded me from my regular life but I am praying that it pays off in the end. I guess that is initially why I got a blog account-to vent and what not. Wish me luck in my studies though!!! I look forward to posting about my daily happenings and interesting finds. However, at the moment things will probably be really boring as the only thing I am thinking is "OAT, OAT, OAT"...ugh.
