What a day!

So school is back on... grrr... I'm slowly getting back into School Mode as Fall seems to be getting closer and closer... maybe once i break out into my Fall wardrobe I'll be all bout school (i bought this really fly striped green and brown sweater! can't wait to wear it).. for now I am Slacker Sarah. Haven't bought a single book.. dude I still hafta pay off my August Visa bill :S plus the damn lineups at the Bookstore are brutal... I'm not waiting in a line to get into the line to get in the bookstore. Why's everybody gotta be a slacker?! Don't they know everybody buys books at the last minute?! Some people...

So back to today. Started off arite... woke up bright and early at 6 am... did the usual morning routine... it was all rainy and gloomy out...got to school at 8am... me and Roohi hit the gym (YES we really did... and it's so much funner with another person, the time totally flew by! We had some interesting convos.. tee hee) finished up by 9:30. Roohi had to start work at 10.. so we headed to EPUS office. Chilled with her.. OH and that food place FINALLY opened up in the North Building, it's called SPICE (sounds paki to me)... but meat isn't halaal!!! So now the Halaal Hot Dog guy is gone and the North place isn't halaal... that Halaal Hot Dog Vendor Guy (I think his name was Abdul) was the pride and joy of UTM last year... we used to brag about him.. but no more. We took him for granted.. and now he's gone... ok fine he wasn't that big a part of my life last yr... but he was a huge part of my 'moti' issues last year, that's for sure! So anyways, i thought I'd check out the spring rolls at Spice... they were a lil burnt but pretty good. I heard they have parathas and curry one day a week... that is pretty ghetto I must say.. come on butter chicken is where it's at!

Then went to my 2 tutorials... first one was borrrring. I almost fell asleep. The second was really interesting.. Sociocultural Anthro.. so we were discussing Shari'ah Law in Ontario. The TA didn't really know much.. but anyways topics such as Shari'ah or actually anything Islam related are always fun to be a part of. People who don't really know much bout Shari'ah were makin these really dumb comments... like i dunno bout you but if I don't know much about a topic I usually keep my comments to a minimum (makes sense right? don't wanna look like a doofus later). So i dunno, ignorant comments bring out the debater in me... so this one girl goes, those women should've jus stayed in their own countries, like no other religion has their laws supercede our law... like then we could have Irish law, Scottish Law... and kept goin on for a bit. First of all Ireland and Scotland aren't religions! So i put my hand up.. i prob had like a "who is this girl" look on my face.. so the TA picked me. I was jus like, yo there already are other religious tribunals in place in Ontario and besides Shari'ah tribunals would be optional & have the option of opting out and adhering to Cdn law .. so don't go there girlfriend... ok i didn't say that last part. One thing that really peeved me off tho was, how these 2 Muslim girls instantly associated Shari'ah to the "4 wives" issue.. like that's supposed to help the cause? That issue just adds to the controversial nature. It reinforces non-muslims' view of Islam as completely patriarchal and suppression of women's rights bc its taken out of context. Was an exciting tutorial.

Then went to work... the Pharm was psycho! Phone kept ringing off the hook.. ppl lined up on both sides!! So yeah, I got yelled at by this woman... it's not MY fault her mom's Doctor didn't fax us back.. her mom was nicer than her.. she goes to me "are you goan?" ...LOL... i was like nooo... I am indo-paki. I was workin with this highschool guy ... he's a nice kid and all.. but he really doesn't know too much.. so i was having to do everything :S and then at the end of the night I got punked by Ron (the Store Manager) bc we were last to bring our till to the back and apparently he has a life or something. Not only were we late but i had a lot of bills to hand in to him... oopsy..so then he was like you hafta escort me to do the bank deposit... i was like excuuuse me?! He wasn't joking either.. so i went with him and security guard... but i think he felt bad for yellin at me before.. so he was like Thanks for coming. Then finally went home @ 9:30.. still raining at this point.

ICNA-MAC conference @ LAC tomorrow.. thinkin of goin.. maybe helping out with Registration for Bacha Party. =)
