Weekend in Oshawa!
its a part of the GTA (Great Toronto Area), its a small university city with nothing in it !!! literally nothing !!!

| Amazing View of the City /Sarcasim |
My friends planned a farewell gathering for one of our friends (Bader) who finished his studies and going back home.

Midterms
So, Last week wasn't the ideal week for me, because i had 2 midterms on Valentines day, I know it sucks -_-!
Therefore i planned to spend my reading week out of London to get out of my midterms mood, So i came to Oshawa, Lets just say its not as fun as i thought it would be :P , and i really want to go back to my London :(
London To Oshawa
We left London at 4pm and got to Oshawa at 7pm. As soon as we got there, we gave Bader some farewell presents, and i think he liked them :P
 |
| Hope you enjoy them :P |
Then we had some farewell dinner, mostly Egyptian food :P -_-! (me no likey egyptian food, No offense:D)
 |
| Edited by My brother Ahmed, just so he doesn't bug me -_- |
And then i went to sleep :D, if you know me, you know that the best thing i love to do is SLEEPING!!
 | |
| My Bro took this pic of me while i was sleeping -_-! , but aren't i adorable :$ |
That was pretty much it, this week wasn't that interesting due to the midterms, hopefully ill have something better to write about next week :D

Volunteering
First, What is Volunteering? in my own words of course.
Doing helpful things without expecting a reward. :D
Last summer i had the chance to volunteer at SKMC (Sheikh Khalifa Medical City).
I learned a lot from this Amazing experience, and i would like to share some of it with you guys.
The Beginning
At first i was too nervous to volunteer because im not used to do these kind of things, actually i wasn't even used to do anything but stay at home 24/7 playing PS3, social networking and watching TV shows "Legally".
After a while my family convinced me to do it, plus i was a bit bored of staying at home. I wanted to do something new, so my sister helped me applying for it.
So, i had to do an interview.I went and met "Gabriela Hirculescu" the head of the volunteering office in SKMC,before the interview I was sweating like crazy, because it was my first time doing an interview and also because my social skills were 0.
Thankfully i "passed" the interview somehow!, and I went to the orientation the next day which was done by "Foad" (who is one of my best friends now<3) i thought he was working there but i found out he was "just" a volunteer :P.
At first, i was assigned to go to clinics -_-! and confirm appointments, lets just say i didn't like that place a lot.
Since i didn't like clinics, i asked to change my place, and that's what happened, i went to the Housing department.
After like 3 weeks they had to change there place, so things changed and it started to be difficult for me to stay there, so I asked for a change again :$.
This is the part where Volunteering became sooo entertaining to me. i Started going to ADRC ( Abu Dhabi Rehabilitation Center). It was soo great interacting with the patients.
Their smile just makes you feel like you've done something huge in there life, which personally makes me feel like i have achieved a huge goal in my life.
Ramadan
What is Ramadan?
its a month, in which Muslims fast from sunrise till sunset.
We, The volunteers at SKMC had to do some decorations for this month and hang them up in patients rooms. It was tiring but fun at the same time, we did our best to finish them before the month ends :P
Also, we had some "iftar party" < well it wasnt actually a party, but you get the idea :P, many volunteers attended even non-Muslims, it felt amazingly great.
After Ramadan comes a day which Muslims Celebrate in Called Eid. We went and distributed some gifts for the patients. We had so much fun.
And This was a brief of what we as volunteers do at SKMC.
I have met so many people at SKMC and im proud to call them my friends.
In the end, I really enjoyed Volunteering at SKMC and i seriously recommend everyone to volunteer there or anywhere at least once in their life.
Doing helpful things without expecting a reward. :D
