[Palwasha]

^MashAllah, well done!

[Laila]

[Son of Mountains]

Congrates to MsFDoctor. May God fulfill ur all dreams! Pa makha gullona sha.
Now u should change ur id as MsDrSahiba

[Laila]

^^^^^ manana dears....i got accepted into UC LA's medical college last year for the fall of 09'.....however, i had to turn down my acceptance. Though people say i am a major lunatic for doing that because it was a huge acceptance, i dont regret it.

So now i am going to University of California, Irvine in a about 2 years, inshallah. Its in the Orange County, Los Angeles. So i am going the long route to medical school, its okay though.

[Laila]

^^^^ Okay, Khaney, Dukes, and SOM, to clear up the confusion of my acceptance, look at Q's profile, and read the messages from bottom to top :P

[Laila]

^^^ thanks, but to clear it up...... i did not take the acceptance.
