doing good thanks!!
how about you???

Originally posted by Ali709I got back from uni an hour ago...had my Electromagnetics exam today, one of our hardest courses...the midterm exam had been a disaster, I myself, even though I'm one of the good students, had got 30 out of 100 (imagine what the others got! )!

So, the guy who teaches it had got so scared after the midterm that he had given us some of the simples questions!! It was 7 questions, I answered 6...though one of my answers is wrong (a VERY stupid mistake!) and the one that I didn't answer was a tough one...not many answered...

So, I'm happy

The hard part is this: I got another exam tomorrow, Mathematics for Engineers...a bit tough too...gotta work on it but I'm tired

aaaw...I missed him....I was typing the answer when for whatever reason I lost my connection...now it's back (maybe our ISPs are gas dependent too! )

Here is my answer:

We have problems that we shouldn't' have...gas shortages in Iran?! We supply the world with gas and yet we don't have it for ourselves!!
There are no probs in Tehran tho, it's mostly in the far villages and small cities.

And about the question...they are actually making too much out of it...he hasn't actually over ruled the president, he has just "reminded" him that laws made by the parliament are to be obeyed by the government.

There haven't been over rulings by the leader tho, none that I can remember. The only conflicts between the government and the leader were in the first years with Ayatollah Khomeyni in power. One was Banisadr, the first president: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolhassan_Banisadr , he was impeached and escaped.

...the other was Bazargan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Bazargan , the prime minister during the interim government, right after the revolution, he was a great man, a liberal and a democrat, he found problems with the leader and after the attack on the US embassy he and his government resigned. Iran would be a much better place if he could have stayed and done what he thought was right...


Sorry to bore you with these stuff guys...it's the weird recent history of my country, which interests me a lot

EDIT: off to bed now
