Today I realized that I MUST work on my speaking skills! I suck, suck, SUCK!!!
My friend and I want to volunteer in a hospital during summer. So we made some calls today.. We both sounded like little girls and we both didnt have a clue, but because I'm a bit better than her I had to do the talking.
The conversations went like this;
- alo el salam 3laykum
- wa 3laykum el salam.
- momken mudeer elmustashfa?
- el7een 3ndu break o bydawem el sa3a 1.
- 1? okay shukran.
I called again ..
- alo el salam 3laykum
- ( i didnt press any extension number and a women voice came out faj2a!! ) wa 3laykum el salam
- aa law sm7ty momken mudeer elmustashfa?
- *chuckles* mudeer elmustashfa???? (i bet she was thinking i was some kinda kid prankcalling.)

I must stop stuttering, and start to know what and when to say the right things. And definitely stop aaaaaah-ing.
