Amina,
I just read what you wrote and couldn't help but smile after reading:" Attend my Money and Capital Markets Finance course" on your to do list. I remember those days, and I also remember that Economic class we took together with Mrs.Chisolhm , I think that was her name lol, I changed my major right after that. Good luck on your paper, you should take a break from blogging.

Aalya said...

i sometimes see extra ..i read "i had two pencils, one in turkey and Italy :| LOL silly moi! oh but really thats so cool! well u cud still write letters...but thats so time consuming now lol...but i know how much fun it would have been..i used to long for a penpal ahhh those days of fun and innocence...

Hijabee said...

Habayeb,
LOOOOOOOL, You're tooo muchhhhhh. I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of having 2 pencils in Italy and Turkey looool. Yes technically you can still write letters now but noone does, it takes so much time lol. It's just easier to email the person. I remember how I used to check the mail waiting for my penpals to write back and how happy I was when they did lol.

Mona Zenhom said...

Lol at pencils...Wow France? mashaAllah. It's kinda like we're cyber penpals though huh?

Ms.Unique said...

It's sooooooo nice to know more about ppl .... I luv this tagging thing ..... ur answers are nice ..... and yes Mona's right we're kinda cyber not pen but blogpals .....haha .... ;)

Hijabee said...

Mona,
Yes Cyper penpals lol, but the letters were so much more personal with the foreign stamps, enveloppe, and the person's handwriting or postcard! I haven't received a postcard in years, I only get e-cards :)

Ms.Unique,
I know, I like it too :) yes we are blogpals. Isn't it crazy? we only know each other through our blogs but we're still part of each other's daily routines :)

Aalya said...

Amina,
I know, I was really excited when I got letters from my penpals too lol. And Chisholm was really good but her exams were too hard for me reason why I dropped Economics and Mohtadi was great lol, one of the funniest professors @ S.U and his exams were fair :)
