Tired and busy

For most of the week, I was worried that I couldn't find all of the camera equipment to return to the journalism professors.

I had lost the SD card reader that came with the video camera. It was painted in a tacky silver color that made it look really cheap. It also looked very much like my card reader for my old Palm PDA device. Thankfully, I found everything.

The rest of the week was much more enlightening. I took pictures of the Muslim Student Association's Hijab Day. The club decided to hold an event where women could borrow one of the group's hijabs to wear all day on Wednesday. Me and my partner, Risa, were working to produce a soundslide out of all the pictures and audio recordings.

I wasn't sure how the event would turn out at first, but many people visited the club's desk in front of the Library. They were really interested in living life as a Muslim woman would.

The club meeting gave me and my partner a fascinating perspective on why they prefer to wear hijabs. The president, Zakiya, said that Muslim women don't have to worry as much about what they have to wear. They don't even need to think about styling their hair, because the hijab covers it up.

A hijab really makes women more modest. I just hope that everything will match up with the audio. I also have to find this old receipt on which I wrote some of the members' names. I hope I find the names soon. Otherwise, I won't be able to write quotes for those people.

Well, I'd better look for it.
