Have to post this before I forget

On Saturday, my family and I went to a hakika (celebrating having a baby, lol) in the masjid. One of my great friends had a baby girl on February 12th...two days before Valentine's Day. She's sooooooo adorable (mash'Allah) and her name is Maimuna. I thought it was a weird name at first, but it's growing on me. It's so unique and it sounds beautiful! I have to say though that it's a big name for someone so small and I wonder what Maimuna will do when she goes to school, lol.

Anyway, that's not what I wanted to say. During the hakika, one of my other friends came over to me while we were eating and the conversation went a bit like this:

Yaz: You smell like a boy! Why do you smell like a boy???
Me: What? *Having no idea what she's talking about*

Too shocked to do anything, I sat there gaping like a fish and she went away to probably say salaam to someone or something. So then, she comes back, and this time I'm ready...

Yaz: So you never answered me question...why do you smell like a boy?
Me: Maybe it's because I've been with a boy.
Yaz: Oooooooo! *Giving me a high-five*

LOL! It was hilarious.

Another thing that's hilarious is a funny passage that I found in The Princeton Review's , Cracking the GRE, which I'm using to study for my GREs. At the beginning of the math section it basically tells you why you have to know math for the GREs. It says that "The Math section of the GRE mostly tests how much you remember from math courses you took in seventh, eighth, and ninth grade."

"Why is passing knowledge of eighth-grade algebra important for a future Ph.D. in English literature? Don't ask us. Apparently ETS thinks there's a connection."

That's one of the funniest things ever, since I'm majoring in English, lol. Of course, grade school math is good to know for everyday life, but why in the world do we need to be tested on it? Especially without a calculator, when all our professors and teachers say that we can use calculators on tests and homework? *Sigh*...the world is a funny place (funny as in weird, and funny as in haha, lol).
