Whatever - On This and That

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

In America, college kids always get “care packages” from their older family members especially during their freshman year. Parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents send packages with canned food, homemade cookies and other stuff that are useful.
I’m in my senior year and I never got one… UNTIL YESTERDAY! The package had my old sneakers that I [...]

Sexuality In Iran

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

This is a response to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s recent comments in New York.

I wrote a small research paper last semester about sexuality in Iran. It was actually inspired by Misguided’s post.

Basically, Ahmadinejad doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. He should shut up and stop insulting the world’s intelligence.

Warning: this is a long post, but I hope you’re interested enough to read it. ;)

The Beatles

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

I’m taking a two hour Music of the Beatles class that meets twice a week this semester and this first week was great. In yesterday’s class (Thursday), I got a little emotional because the proffessor played a song written by Paul in 1984 for the Everly Brothers who had just then reunited. I had never [...]

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Some of you might know that I had two sessions of summer school this year so I had about two weeks of vacation before the fall semester starts again. This vacation was so short that there wasn’t enough time for me to feel sad and depressed about having to leave again (lol). So I guess [...]

I’m Allergic to America

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

Literally. No joke. I’ve been here for three years and have developed two chronic disorders (one of which is a serious neurological condition) and possibly at least one of my wisdom teeth are starting to come out according to my dental hygene student friend.
I like it here though. Ain’t complaining of anything else but my [...]
