Randome thoughts.. Occurrences..

~*~ I started my Weekend class last week. It's a 10 to 4 class every Saturday and Sunday until April. So I now officially have day classes, night classes, weekend classes, and I'll be taking a class over winter break.. hey you in that shirt.. ya you.. shoot me!

~*~ On the upside, the class is in the city.. and I've never hung out in the city during the day. It's absolutely beautiful. College students everywhere, charming little coffee and bagel shops, cute winding streets.. it's quite a site for a suburb girl like me.
This is a coffee shop I fell in love with..

The problem with townies like us is that we just can't get with the city pace, for instance:
a. I can't for the life of me learn how to parallel park, how is my car getting in that tiny spot. Not to mention I couldn't work the meter.. I swear!

b. Anyone approaching me for "Saaam chaaange" makes me want to run and yell POLICE!!

c. I can't figure out why everything is one way.. everything! How am I supposed to get anywhere..

d. Don't get me started on crossing the street! sheesh.. run me over why don't you..


~*~ My university had a small event where they displayed the different cultures adopting islam as a religion. They had samboosa man.. do you know what kind of heaven I was in? of course then I bit in to it and it had potatoes inside.. umm wrong culture! where can I file a complaint?

Some guy walked around with a becht .. pretty hilarious because my friend who came with me was American and he whispers to me "umm isn't that Bin Ladin attire" .. they never seize to amuse me.
He did love the fake samboosa though. Another friend of mine got 7enna done on his arm (maskeen fahim 3'alaaa6) , I wont say what he had them write .. lets just say it's the name of a group of very nice people in southern Lebanon.



~*~ The weather took a turn for the worse.. it's godamn freezing, meen feekom illy 3inah 7arra! Look at all the naked trees!


~*~ My other friends insisted I go out with them one night, and of course them being non-arab they dragged me to a bar. Yes folks.. I stepped into the forbidden land ..alright so it's not the first time but who's counting eh?
Anyhow.. I sipped on my chaste, rum-less, and liquorless (basically pointless.. throw that thing out!) coke. In line with my resolve to be more open with my mother.. I called her up and casually mentioned my excursion. I just want to take this moment to say thank you God for giving me such a great mother.. she is absolutely wonderful. I could almost hear the thoughts churning in her head.. finally she say's "oh "leeno" ...how was it?" and she doesn't outright demand that I never go again.. but she makes her stance clear while giving me the choice. She trusts my judgement completely.. and understands it may be impaired at times, but that deep (probably real deep) inside I'm a good kid. My father may be awful and our relationship is non-existant.. but my mother is worth a hundred of him.

~*~ I need to get away from blogging for a while.. work is piling up, and as little time as I have I spend so much of it writing it's ridiculous. I've become a blogaholic. Thanksgiving is coming up (yay to stealing other people's land!) and it'll be a great time for me to catch up with sleep, work, and shopping. Keep reading.. commenting.. I'll read and reply every once in a while. See you all in a couple of weeks.
