The Hunger Games

I'm usually not  person that dips into a lot of trends. I usually stay out of them. Why do something that everyone else is already doing? But this is one fad I just cannot help but do. Reading and watching The Hunger Games. Recently, the school has just had a book fair and they had a package of the three volumes of The Hunger Games for only $21.99!!!!!! They had the three volumes separately, but if you bought them like that they would cost more than $30. Well, I was so excited to buy the 3 pack, until the next day.

By the end of second period, right before break, all of us were crowding against the door, waiting for the teacher to give us permission to leave. I guess she wanted to persecute us for wanting to leave so badly, because the next five minutes were probably on of the longest ones in my life. When she said "You can-" all us girls pushed shoved and manged to get out the door, to the book fair, to get the Hunger games 3 pack!!!

Only to find that the older grade had gotten it.

I was beyond angry. I was horrified. I guess you can say that for a week it had been my life's dream to get the three pack Hunger Games. "WHO TOOK THEM????!!!!" I demanded. Turned out that there had only been three packages, and 2 of the older kids got one and the school got one. Man was I angry. But there was nothing I could do. So i reserved the first book. Just when I realized that I should reserve the second one too- too late. They were already done.

So I was angry and on the verge of tears by 3rd period. I guess the principal took pity on us, because she came in our class later on and said

"Since you guys are all so sad about the Hunger Games, we ordered more. And yes, the Three Packs."

You wouldn't believe how happy I was. I was like

 I squealed, ran up and gave her a hug. She had also said that we would read it in class, and then watch the movie at the theaters!!!! I was in heaven.

Now, until yesterday, I had been close to hyperventilation because the books just wouldn't come. AND THEN THEY DID!!!!!! I am in

And so ends my story of the "How I got The Hunger Games".

A Sore Throat and Pink Hijab Day

Hey, Salaams blog readers!


Yesterday, after I cam back from school, my throat started hurting, just a little but though. After I had some delicious barbecue, (baba makes THE BEST) I finished my homework and went to sleep. Then, when I wake up this morning, I can barely talk!!! This is the third time I lost my voice.
1st time, got a cold. The "little voice" lasted only a day
2nd time, went to 6 flags and screamed my head off, so I was litterlally without a voice for about 3 days
3rd time, today, it was cold, and, I guess my throat felt it, so, i can barely swallow, and, for a few hours today, it hurt so much i couldn't talk too much.

But now it's better alhamduliAllah. It was raining CONSTANTLY today. I mean, like, the whole day. It was fun during dismissal though. Not many people had umbrellas, so, when I took mine out, all my friends started coming and crowding under it. After some time, I was like, Hey, it doesn't rain everyday, and pretty soon I'm gonna get sick of it, so, let's make best use! And I just stayed out in the rain. I liked it. hahaha.

I'm REALLY HAPPY THOUGH because the school might just let me be the head of the yearbook group, if they have one. I really hope they do. I've always wanted to be part of a yearbook group.

Since I'm not on the student government, but I am one of the representatives, I told my closest friend, the vice president, to make sure there is a "Pink Hijab Day." The rest of the "Hijab Days" will be when I am most likely vice president, so, I don't worry about those.

Tomorrow is debate. We're debating whether cell phones should be allowed for students or not. I'm opposition. That means I'm going for they shouldn't.


I still can't believe Anwar Al-Awlaki died. I feel like the red ball in the picture. Most people here in America are happy that "The maniac Al Qaeda (they can't even say that properly, for crying out loud!) leader is safely killed." They didn't even try him. What the government did was unconstitutional. Anwar Al Awlaki was an American citizen. And by law, every American citizen is to be tried before being sentenced. I though that No one is guilty till they are proven. I feel so bad and horrible and mad. He used to live in the same city as us, San Diego, and used to be the Imam for masjid Ribat, which I still go to at times. I even attended one of his lectures when he came to our area. Well, my parents did. I just drew and took pieces of  paper with questions from the sisters to him. I even remember, one time, I was really shy, and I took a question to him. And then he grinned and asked me, "Where's the money?" in a playful manner. I blushed and became embarrassed. (now don't go saying, why were you embarrassed? I was 5, for Allah's sake!!!!)  I'll always remember that. He was a nice guy. Ya, so maybe he had a few problems with supporting suicide bombers and stuff like that. I don't support that. But everyone has mistakes! May Allah Bless him and Forgive him.

I'm reading, The Scarlet Letter. It's a very good book. And best of all, nothing inappropriate. Not even kissing, which, in today's society, is as little as nothing. The book may be about Hester doing something bad, but they don't even say the word in it. It just everyone saying she did something sinful and her head should be chopped of blah blah blah. I like the part when they say ye gossips. sounds cool. I keep on repeating it to myself. tehehe.




So long!
