dreaming all the time is not foolish

nothing has happened...i'm on page like 150 or something.. hmmmmm well amal is slowly falling in love with her crush and he's falling in "love" with her too. howww cute, right?! I think she is taking this crush a little too far... an example is " Josh's coming our way... Oh my god, is my hair OK? Do I look OK?" (Pg 119). That is kind of embarrasing..but i guess every one has that one person that they get that feeling and freak out. Well i dont even know if i'm supposed to be doing this blogging thing any more...but i still have like 2000000000 pages in my book and its due in one day! sweeeeet i love this assignment ms west :)

dream it anyway

Well tomorrow is thursday! man, these weeks are just zooming by! :)
Amal's friend was going to go shopping with Amal's mother and herself,until her mom freaked out and didn't let her go. amal spazzes and thinks its unfair of her friends mom and she is saying some pretty nasty things bout her. ummm then the boy of her DrEaMs adam told her that he thinks she has guts for wearing the hijab. she just about has a meltdown. also she shares a story about how she wanted to get a dress that everyone else was wearing and she made her mom buy it even though she didnt' really need it.
" i insisted and she spent abuot one hundred dollars on an outfit. i felt so guilty that i'd made her fork out all that money that i decided to wear the dress anyway." ( page 99). I think this is a good example because this has deffinatly happened to me before where i will get something because everyone else has it...but i think i've grown away from that alot in highschool because no one really cares what you wear or do. What that quote meant is that all her friends planned on wearing a dress to some event and they all changed their mind without amal knowing, and they wore something completly different. So amal showed up dressing really really fancy, and everyone else were in over alls. I think it's moments like these that make us stronger..times when something is sooo embarrasing but you don't back down and just go along with it any way because- hey, it's who you are and your not willing to change yourself for someone.

Ü Happy Weekend Ü

Hello today is friday! finally the weekend. I'm here with kelsey moarn and we are bored.Well i have only read like a few pages. What happened was Amal is feeling insecure wearing the hijab. Normally, she goes with her friends to a cafe telling stories and "gossiping." On friday, her friends asked her to go to the cafe--but she turend them down because she didn't want people to talk about her head-piece. She talks about it with her friends a little bit, and they say that she shouldn't care, because it was her choice to wear it. She realizes that they are correct, and she really shouldn't care what everyone else thinks because the hijab is apart of her. I think that this takes guts and i would not wear the hijab. So props to amal! okay, i am done happy weekend.

LOVE TODAY

I've been reading a little little bit.. I'm on page 83, so i have a longg ways to go. OH well. Since the first time she wore her hijab to school, she's been getting a lot of looks. Most people ignore her, including her crush, which really hurts her. When Amal arrives home after school, her parents inform her that Amal's teacher called home and wants to have a meeting with them ( about the hijab ). so she's tweakin out pretty much. When her parents and her teacher actually have the meeting, the teacher says that she iwll allow her to wear it, only if she's wearing it JUST to show practice in her religion. I think that it's not important that her teacher asked to have a conference with her parents. Why should she care? She's OBVIOUSLY wearing it to practice her religion. So i don't think she had the right to do that. But i do think that it shows that the teacher has respect for Amal because she doesnt want Amal to get made fun of. anyways....... people start talking to Amal again and they become interested in her headwear which she is suprisingly happy about! Guess it's not so bad after all!!
