mid-june update:

• campus cat that always lifts my mood

• the local library - i got a book, doesn't matter if it's exam season haha

• getting coffee with my friend to study at her place

i think this is the first exam season in 2½ years when i don't feel burnt out. i know it sounds cliché, but going out daily and changing your study space every once in a while helps you retain information better. i also noticed that i get stuff done much faster if i'm studying next to someone (or it's just undiagnosed adhd and i'm a sucker for body doubling) (i don't support self-diagnosing, to be clear) :))

take care of yourselves, don't study too much and drink your water!!!

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

With love and endless gratitude, Mosab and family ♥️

hi guys

today i managed to finish my respiratory physiopathology lesson (to crush next week's test) and get my 5000 steps in.

i was feeling really unmotivated, it was 2pm and i hadn't studied anything yet, so i got my supplies and headed to the coffee shop, in hopes that seeing other people work would make me do it too.

although i studied for 2h and 30 minutes in total, i felt really proud. i'm starting to understand how notion works and so far it's great. here's some things i did today while studying:

- read the material

- summarized it in my words (literally broke it down into smaller chunks, and only wrote the things i found to be important for the final)

- read the questions at the end of the ppt, made by our lab teacher - since she added them, i assumed they (or some similar concepts) might come up on the test or the final

- completed the notes, based on those questions, with the parts i thought were not essential at first (i might have been wrong haha)

- some small tables/mindmaps

flashcards are pretty nice too for active recall, but i find it hard to study from other decks than my own and making them takes a long time. instead, i'm trying to solve as many MCQs (multiple choice questions) i can (if our teachers/older students provide them, that's great; if not, i just look for them online), since they're better at helping you remember the information rather than just reading it.

might also write the answers on a notebook and correcting the mistakes with red pen, just to remind me of my premed tutors for chem & bio :)

last weeks of march

- the annual book fair in my city (i got a book for 2€!)

- friend's birthday (a break from studying lol)

- histopathology (fav subject this year)

i'm really happy cause i got a 97/100 on the last patho test. i started using notion to take my notes and i think it's helping? i love adding photos and making tables for values.

however i'm still scared of anki haha

Late night study 🩷✨

i hope the liberal arts education never dies. everyone should get the chance to dabble in classics on their way to their science degree

(year III, 1st semester)

this semester and exam season were insane. without a doubt the worst ones so far.

first of all, i hardly found the time to study during the semester: i went to the congresses organized by our university (which, although very interesting, they take some time away from studying), my friend group kind of split, the elections made me restless and burnt out for two weeks and so on. and before i knew it - exam season came around. 😃

luckily (and ironically), i only failed one exam - the easiest one, with the least amount of credits. i passed the hardest subjects (morphopathology, pharmacology AND semiology) and that's all that matters (with fairly good grades too).

3rd year is rough :')

the fear of unknown is prevalent - first time seeing the hospital, first time meeting patients. this is the moment you realize that humans are not just bones and a spinal cord, like anatomy taught us. they're parents, children, siblings with their own dreams and struggles. and your job is to help them go back home, safe and healthy.

it's tough - but so, so worth it <3

(4) - cold mornings before uni

[acadarnia]

my plan on this blog was never to talk about politics, and yet here we are.

my country is currently discussing whether the elections were faked or not, so the only way for me to stop thinking about it is by studying.

i can't believe we have to choose between a man that is glorifying the people guilty for the romanian h*locaust, is anti-climate change, anti-abortion and (!!) C-sections, and a perfectly normal, CAPABLE woman, yet some people still choose the former. but more than surprised, i am disappointed in some people around me.

peace.
