I have, for many months now, been feeling very bad about a show I did on Ramdan Radio. It was about "Islamic" knowledge versus "regular" knowledge - and during my incoherent ramblings I happened to mention a particular sister from my uni who gave up medicine in her 5th year. Now, I didn't mention any names but I described the circs around her giving it all up, i.e. how many weeks she was away from graduating etc. I wanted to illustrate a point, but it came out all wrong and ugly. It sounded like I was accusing her of wasting an opportunity and I spoke about how Muslim women should be fghting to get into such fields blah blah.

Anyway, a close friend of this sister's sister heard the show, and recognised who I was talking about. I think she's told the sister (who I respect immensely, infact she was one of the few who eased my transition into uni and I always looked up to her for advice). I think this sister hates me now (if someone as sweet as her is capable of hating) - so yes, I feel very bad.

Related to this, what do people think about giving up studies like medicine for Islamic reasons? To pursue Islamic studies for instance?

In Other News:

Convo between 5 year old Usamah, my neph and Salman my bro (he of concrete underpants fame) :

Usama "mama, when I go jannah, will I be allowed to eat Pig?"

Salman "yes, but it wont be haram or dirty. everythings allowed in jannah"

Usamah (triumphantly punching the air with his fist) "Yess!! excellent! Im going to EAT it. Im going to EAT PIG. its going to be DELICIOUS. Yess!

I worry.

So, all my hair is falling out it's really quite scary. There's a fantabulous marrow oil thats really stinky though and it doesnt work. Ok, so its not fantabulous. AND it's stinky. hah, that needs to go obviously. Then there's Folic Acid. I love Folic Acid it makes baby hairs grow.

Mr A surprised me last Thursday soon after I put his pic up by walking through the door when I thought he was in manc. (I didnt get killed, zoo, though i nearly died becuse I looked a wreck). That made my day, no, week, no, month. Actually that made my life. Im so sad. So ofcourse I wasn't to be expected to finish my essay so I begged an extension and the lovely lady gave me one. I hope she wears cotton socks, ameen.

Had a lovely weekend in manc and dazey made delicious concoctions in minutes, put me to shame, she's a domestic goddess and abbu came! yaaay!

now, I still havent finished the essay. yuck. Mr A and abbu have gone a-visiting and im bored!

I saw a slug today and it reminded me of the time in Leicester when debo went to the shower and I was waiting outside. quiet conversation with meself was interrupted by debo shouting

'safety-piiinnn, safety-piiin, arrrgghhh. ahhhhh. omigosh omigosh - naaaaaaaasssss, naaas safe-ty-pin'

me: u orite my love? (baffled - how urgent can needing a safety-pin ever be??)

debo - nooo, nooo, theres a safety pin. come iin. nooo dont come in

me: shall i come or not?

dressed debo: come iinn

I go in and see debo as white as a sheet, no, as green as a erm, erm, gnat pointing at summat on the floor. I look and see a centipede. heh. safety-pin. centipede. safety-pin. hmmm. :D I love Debo
