Salam alaikom wa rahmatollah wa barakatoh
I thought some of you might be interested to know what activities we do aside from studying.....
Well, we try to do a lot, only a few actually happen ! I mean, many great ideas come up, but for the idea to become reality and for you to work out all the logistics, the idea might be delayed or forgotten about....
Generally, the activities we do tend to have a medical or charity nature. Thus we have several clubs that deal with fund raising, orphans, spreading awareness, or integrative medicine.....The events conducted by these clubs can have audience only from other colleges or from all over Qatar.
However, we also have clubs dealing with religion, photography, journalism, debates, and others.
The idea is, if you are interested in an activity that isn't offered by an available club, you'd probably want to start a club of your own........Follow these steps:
1- Work out the mission of the club
2- Invite interested members
3- Work together on ideas that would meet the club's mission
It's a lot of work... but also lots of fun....
In my next post, inshallah, I'll tell you more about the kind of activities that can, and have been conducted in our dear Cornell. I'm also telling you the reason why I choose a frowning baby to represent my blogs...............STAY TUNED !!!!

One semester to go!
Salam alaikom wa rahmatollah wa barakatoh
Yes, I'm done with all my exams for the semester. Now, I only have to sit back, relax and enjoy my winter break..........
Oh! but I still have to study for my MCAT exam in January, and finish my medical application.............. I wonder when do we get a real break from school!
I think that once you decide you want to be a doctor, you're officially waving your right in vaccations longer than a week!! ....
I mean think about it.....When you're in premed you have long breaks but have to use them in research, prepartion for MCATs, or in other extra curricular activities.........When you're in med, the longest breaks you take don't exceed very few weeks, or so I heard.
Well, I guess if you realy want to "know" life, you have to experience a bit of "no" life. Plus, work isn't all that bad....At least you don't get to be bored, and you always have people around you, even if you're all doing "work".
I personally had lots of fun working on my medical ethics final project. One of my group was hilarious. I laughed more than worked, and we got to watch lots of amusing videos about research on human subjects........Here are some....ENJOY!!!
