show me the sidestreets in your life
My BIRTHDAY!!!!! is on Tuesday. At least four people have told me they are getting me hijabs. I love my friends. XD
I'm having my party with my BFF Eric, whose own birthday is in a week. We've invited basically everyone on the Nebraska speech circuit, so I'm...really interested to see how things turn out.
(1)
My dad's Tae Kwon Do school asked me to go to the Cornhusker State Games (this amateur sports festival that's like über popular) to take photos for them, and eventually I made the mistake of watching the 3-4 year old division's sparring. Think: street fights between toddlers in helmets. The whole event was basically a convention of douchebaggery; it made me love my padre even more for being capable of having emotions other than aggression and narcissism.
Anyway. There was a teeny girl sparring this teeny boy. Her name was Trinity. She lost to a Jacob. Her dad was so angry--screaming and stomping around and the like--that he had to be escorted out of the gym.
God bless America.
(2)
I really miss not having an in-state female best friend. I needed Man Advice the other day and made it halfway to Maesen's house on my bike before realizing that she's in Boston.
Where the Man I need advice regarding will be in about a month.
By the end of the summer I will probably develop an irrational hatred of MIT for eating my friends.
(3)
My schedule is so fucked up, I'm not even sure the registrar was awake when I signed up for classes. Here's what it should look like:
(first semester)
Pre-Calculus
AP German / AP Japanese ind. study
AP Lang / Comp
Competitive Forensics (an entire school period devoted to SPEEEEEECH)
AP US History
AP Psychology
AP Macroeconomics
(second semester)
exactly the same, except AP Microeconomics, Philosophy, and History of Religion.
This is made extra-exciting by extra curricular newspaper, a job, and life.
I might be going to Princeton in October.
And Northwestern for sure.
(but where I really want to be is Boston.)
(4)
Went to Crete (a small town where several friends reside) to get Runzas and hang out with Neema. More people thought we were married. Even more thought we should be.
Being conspicuous is hard. Being conspicuous for the sake of religion is fine by me--but it tugs on you after awhile. I found out that I haven't met Will's stepdad because he's seen me and he doesn't want anything to do with me--once Will mentioned that I was the "Muslim chick" he'd seen in finals at a particular tournament. I'm not even sure it's really okay with him that we hang out.
DRAMADRAMADRAMA.
I bought a new dress for my party though so things are okay in my book. :)
