Recently Ive been in a coccoon keeping my thoughts to myself. Ive currently relocated to Columbus Ohio. And Ive started to study seriously for my licensure exams intend to do my first exam, the USMLE step 1 in march inshallah. Im taking things slowly this time juggling with my books t home or barnes & nobles or public library, visiting mosques, the occasional shopping and going to the movies or visiting galleries.
2007 has been an exciting year for me, got my african medical experience , met incredible people and heard their stories, met my better half, had wonderful holidays at home(Arusha, moshi,zanzibar, Dar es salaam, Tanga and also neighbouring Nairobi(kenya)) . Travelled and met relatives (Abudhabi -UAE, London, Southampton, Northampton, Milton Keynes Uk and Toronto, Ottawa, Niagara falls Ca) and now in the states in pursuit to fulfil a dream Inshallah; to gain my postgraduate education
My 2008 forecast
I see myself more positive,healthier, happier and religiously more grounded. Passing all my 3 exams and Inshallah getting some good interviews at recognisable medical institutes. I miss treating patients but Ive still got to do some observerships/USCE that will be sometime in the middle of the year, so thats something Im looking forward to. Inshort 2008 Inshallah will be my year of personal growth where my strength and weakness will be tested to the maximum especially academically to place me for the 2009 match.
2008 will also be a very long year in comparison to the Islamic calendar. Today is 21st dhul hijjah 1428, dhulhijjah is last month in the Muslim calendar and we will be celebrating our new year soon on the 10th of January Inshallah. Also as we base our calendar on the moon sightings this year is a leap year so we will live through 1429 and also 1430, as the new Islamic year is estimated to commence on the 29th of Dec 2008. Amazing, having to celebrate 3 new years while still in 2008. Subhanallah.God is Great!

Happy New Year, sister!
Just discovered your blog and it looks marvellous!
I've decided to postpone my festivities to January 10th. The hijri-calendar deserves much attention, but receives little.
Cowtown could seem bit weary but good luck with your exams- I know someone of my friends on their toes.
Happy (late) new years!!! =)
i hope all your new years resolutions come true...mine are really not kicked off yet but inshallah i'll get to that =)
