Am I dreaming??

Alright, its not that boy- girl interaction does not exist AT ALL.. Its there, its just.. rare.

A few weeks back i was walking back to Tijara (CCE) and I was startled by a loud laugh.. I looked up to see who it was and to my shock I saw three girls sitting on a bench, laughing.

No, the shocking part was they were talking to four other three boys who were standing next to them.. Now of course i wasnt sure what to think.
A part of me wanted to run over, introduce my self and have a drink with them. And the other part was actually... feeling bold.. That these kids decided to talk to each other IN PUBLIC! OUT SIDE OF CLASS!

To be honest i walked passed them a couple of times, not sure why.. lol
I didn't know if they were friends from before or if they just go to classes together but that sight got me thinking.. At least we have some open mind-ness here which is GREAT!

So to the group sitting together, I salute you! It sure looks fun :)

Adventure No.2 : The no Abaya day

I guess you could call it casual day? I'm sick of Abaya day? I didn't know everyone would make such a big deal out of it day?

Anyways, I have seen a couple of girls not wearing abayas but wearing a brave face and thought to myself: hey, i don't want to wear abaya anymore!

The next day i show up wearing a long skirt and shirt that i was feeling very comfortable in and i thought looked cute.

There were fliers they gave us when we were in the introductory week that had the university rules, one of them was of course dressing appropriately according to Islamic rules, which meant to basically cover up.

They should have said if you didn't want to wear abaya you should prepare your self for the stares, stink eyes and mean gossiping( both to your face and behind your back).
Actually they should have assigned a whole week for that.. You know preparing you for it. Scaring you out of it, making you live in a bottomless pit of black cloaks and swarvosky crystals.

Dont get me wrong, i love abayas but too much of a good thing is BAD.

SO anyways, the staring started when i walked in my college where i needed to ask my adviser a few questions. Everyone, girls and boys and men and women alike, stared. Some quickly turned their heads when they noticed me notice them! lol
Others shamelessly keeping on( those are the girls!)

I started to feel my confidence crawling away and locking itself in a little box far far away by the minute! even though i am pretty confident.

The worst part was walking out.. on the free land! between colleges!
everybody stared, it was like a monster was out on the loose!! No one knew how to react exactly..
