RandomnessI think my friends and I are the epitome of randomness. So today was our AP English exam; it was fairly easy -- I just wish I cared to do well on it. Either way, after the exam, we were allowed to leave (11:30 am). Instead of going out to eat, we randomly decided to go to the big rally that was going to happen downtown.
It was set, I filled up the gas and we were off. The directions we got from Iman's digging turned out to be ghetto. But somehow, with our suburban thinking, we got there.
Fedaa: It says Congress Parkway, we need to take Congress Road, it's close enough, take it.
Not only did we make it, but in golden time. The next step: submerging ourselves into the actual rally. We stood infront of DePaul University amazed by the numbers of people there. We took it in and jumped right in.
We're the standard Muslim rally kids, but this was different. There was no "What do you want? Justice" chant. Instead, it was SI SE-PUEDE: thanks to Disney Channel, we knew it meant Yes We Can.
We ran into the Masjid's crew and they hooked us up with some signs. Now somewhat professional, we built the confidence to say our own chant "The People, United, Will Never Be Defeated."
A couple of Latino girls our age joined us making us the biggest eye catching statement. It was quite amazing.
Simply, a standard Monday i'll miss having. |
