Fashion in Paris
So it is true, people do dress very well in Paris. And not only that, they are daring, but because everyone else around them is daring in the same way, it’s the norm here. I wish I could’ve brought my wardrobe with me, and worn all the things I was too scared to wear in Vancouver because I totally would’ve fit in here - not implying that I dress ‘very well’, but just...

The internet in my room is so horrible
I haven’t looked through my dash in AGES. It takes forever to load and I know I’m missing out on some quality blogging. I feel like my whole time in Paris is gonna be like this. Sad, really. How awful!

I am so frustrated with this whole stupid French...
I have met very few people who are willing to speak English, or who are willing to speak in French slowly. I can only speak very basic French and my ability to comprehend it is so terrible so I also ask them (in French) to speak slowly, but no one does. It’s so frustrating. I can’t figure out how to work the phone in my room. Even though I’m following the English instructions...

Things I would discourage everyone against:
If you’re doing a semester abroad or anything, don’t go away (for an extended amount of time) the semester before your study abroad semester. It creates absolute chaos because there is very little time to get through everything that needs to get done. I guess if I wasn’t sick the first week and a half I was back home I might not have been rushing to get everything done, but...

Why are imams telling us about nail polish? →
For Muslim women worldwide, the 21st century is the age of progress and setbacks. The progress is made possible by women themselves; the setbacks are largely courtesy of some vocal clerics and self-appointed representatives, such as the terrorist group al-Qaida, both of whom often masquerade as the “saviours of the ummah”. Call it masochism if you want, but recently I started to take an...
