The Dichotomy of Heels

So today I wore heels to school for the very first time. It was, shall we say, an interesting experience? There is something powerful about hearing your feet going CLAP-CLAP-CLAP as you walk. Made me feel older, kinda. Like the women I've grown up watching. My feet looked darn pretty, too. The only thing (which I was expecting, since although the heels are pretty they are kinda crappy for long-term use) was that they hurt like no other. Hurt like a hurtin' thing. My feet were SCREAMING. The people who say hijab is oppression have obviously never worn high(ish) heels! If that isn't oppression, I don't know what is! Goodness. And then in the bathroom I dropped my mathbook. Right. On. My. Toes. The big toe of my left foot bore the brunt of the attack, and is now turning a lovely shade of plum. I was carrying my stuff around in a plastic UCF bag, because any bag that I carry on my shoulders has me in cryin' pain by the end of the day, no matter how light. So anyway, I was lifting the bag off the hook, one of the handles snapped, and the whole thing dropped, straight down. Onto my poor, poor toes. I cried out, cursed, and hopped around on one foot, gripping my toes and gritting my teeth. Ouchie. Now my big toes have matching bruises under the nails, the right from when I banged my toe on the drawer handle when I lifted my foot to make wudhu (thus, living up to my screenname!)

So, right, heels. Okay, you know that scene from House, when his leg is hurting him so much because he went off his Vicodin, and he becomes so desperate he hurts his hand with some sharp implement, to distract him from the pain in his leg? Immediately afterward, he glances up with a look of relief? The interesting thing is, the same thing happened to me. The initial pain distracted me from the pain of the heels digging into my feet. It felt damn good, too. Just don't try this at home kids.

My English teacher was wearing a kurta today. He looked very bohemian.

My math teacher is still the awesomest. I hope I did well on that test. I know I studied my ass off (I wish!) for that test. Implementing what I learned today:

Let p = "Sarah studied like no other" and q = "Sarah did well on her test"
p --> q!
If Sarah studied like no other, then Sarah did well on her test!
~p --> ~q!
If Sarah did not study like no other, then Sarah did not do well on her test!
