Ooooh Lawd! Give me the strength!..

To make it through this long ass week! (Kudos to anyone who gets the reference)

Last week, I had four tests and it went by fairly quickly. This week, I have jack shit to do and it's just dragging on and on and ON.

ANYWAYS...

I'm starting to get that feeling that maybe NewTown won't be all that awesome of a move. I'm getting that familiar pit in my stomach about needing to leave Anytown, just like I did with Hometown. I just don't feel like NewTown is really what I need. Plus my counselor is being ridiculous and completely rude and unhelpful.

I wonder what life will be like in NewTown. I'm probably going to wind up living in a dorm, which isn't my favorite idea. I'm afraid of what life is going to be like without Boyfriend and BFF. For the first time in a long ass time, I'm feeling extremely vulnerable.

Enough with the gloom and doom. This past weekend, Mom and I went to an exhibit at the local train station. It was all about Princess Diana. We went to high tea before we went through the exhibit (rudest waitress possible. Who tries to take cookies from the cookie tray AFTER it's been served?!?!), saw some of the free exhibits they have there, then went through the main event.

It was FANTABULOUS!

Her wedding dress (the REAL THING!) was there in all its 25 ft. gloriousness. Some of her childhood things were there as well. If you have the chance, for God's sake, go see it.

I know I haven't blogged in forever, but trust me, you'll read enough of me this summer that you'll be sick of me.

This is me, and I'm just alive.

A Christian Wearing a Hijab?!

Hey all,

I know it's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been super busy. Lots of exams are coming up and I've been crazy busy with my never-ending social life.

I was doing some research today on Christian women covering their hair. For the longest time, I've thought about covering up, even just for a month, just to see what it felt like. I found SO many videos on YouTube of women who wear hijabs, but are 100% Christian. OMG. FINALLY I'm not alone!

For those of you that know me, I'm a born-again Christian, but many of my friends are Muslim. I've done heavy research on the religion for quite a few years (I even went to a mosque every Friday for a whole semester) just so I could learn as much as I could about it. Whenever I would go to the mosque, I had to wear a hijab, and I felt so comfortable in it, but I never could totally commit to it because of my Christianity. Now I don't really know what to do.

I don't know if I ever will cover, but at least I know I won't be the only one in my particular situation. What are your thoughts?

This is me, and I'm just alive.
