..
EHlien peoples...welcome to my little piece. My name is Amal and I'm a Palestinian-SF bay area-ian (ok I made that last word up). I am the daughter of two patient parents (ok one is patient and the other one has no other choice) and I am the sister of 4 wonderful siblings, who make me very proud and with whom I enjoy watching the Golden Girls, imitating our parents, and eating in-N-out and jack in the crack in the wee hours of the night. I'm a first year med student at Howard Univeristy...I love med-school but I really miss sleep, arabic food, my family and friends in the Bay and so Cal, and being able to procrastinate (which is difficult because unfortunately the procrastination gene is over expressed on the X-Chromosome of all Arabs and I'm a female so I got the double dose).Cleaning is my therapy, Marcel Khalife's oud is my escape, running is my arch-enemy (but I'm working on it), medicine and Palestine are my passion, chocolate and boys that are wrong for me are my weaknesses, argile and dancing are my recreation, and when I have no words to articulate my feelings Oum Kalthoum, Abd il Halim, Lauryn Hill and Khalil Gibran are my spokespersons . I hate to be wrong, told no, and to be bad at anything I attempt to do (I didn't get the nicknames whiney beezie and spoiled beezie from no where). My love for my people in the struggle, my family (blood and those I met along the way), and my fear of failure fuel my fire. If that wasn't enough then just ask...
