الكتابة لكي يبدو أني مشغولة
الكتابة لكي يبدو أني مشغولة
.وإني حقًا مشغولة لكن مع عقلي الذي لا يهدأ ولا يكل ولا يمل من التفكير
فإلى أين تهرب حينما يكون عقلك هو سجنك وأفكارك هي ما تحبسك؟
دومًا أفكر في الخطوة القادمة، حتى من قبل أن أنهي الحالية. وكأن حياتي عبارة عن قائمة من الأشياء التي لا تنتهي، مهام يجب أن أنهيها وأشطب عليها لكي أشعر بالإنجاز والفخر، وإلا فلا.
يجب أن تفعلي أكثر، يجب أن تؤدي أحسن، يجب أن تقولي كذا، يجب أن تشعري بكذا، وتستمر…

I Am My Music
I Am My Music
I am as diverse and unsettled as music. I switch between genres like whims that change every other second.
I am as sentimental as Fayrouz and formidable as Um Kulthoum.
I am as thundering as AC/DC and poised as Tchaikovsky.
I am as revolutionary as Queen and insightful as Pink Floyd.
I am as sensational as Yanni and rebellious as Mashrou’ Leila.
I am as hipster as Cairokee and mainstream as Drake.

Into The Ether
Hey you, I often wonder if you know, how much I think about you every day, how often do I crave your company, how delighted I am when I see your smile, how fond I am of your charisma, how intriguing your busy mind is to me, how interesting your unique character is to me, how endearing your presence is, how enticed I am by your personality, and how your mere existence…leaves me breathless. Now,…

A Tale of a Drum and a Song: Exploring the Mesaharaty
A Tale of a Drum and a Song: Exploring the Mesaharaty
Perhaps the first thing to come to your mind when you think about Ramadan is family gatherings, syrupy desserts, colorful lanterns and of course … the mesaharaty. In this episode, I will take you on a journey to explore the history of the mesaharaty and his iconic drumbeat and special songs. But it’s not the story of a man this time, as it has always been over the past decades. Listen to my…

Chronicles of a Writer in USA: Second Rising Action
Chronicles of a Writer in USA: Second Rising Action
DAY 2: Friday, 8 April, 2016 My alarm went off at 10 am. I still can’t believe I’m actually at the US, all alone. It felt weird and exciting, all at once. After the extremely long day I went through yesterday, as elaborated in my previous blog post, I decided not to wake up for breakfast at the hotel and eat anywhere else because I needed some sleep. I got dressed and went down to the lobby to…

Confessions of a Curly Gal: Deep Into The Curl
Confessions of a Curly Gal: Deep Into The Curl
I wonder why a natural physical attribute in a human being could be perceived as “not good enough”? I wonder why a natural physical attribute in a human being would be perceived as “not professional” within the workplace? I wonder why a natural physical attribute in a human being would be perceived as “not feminine enough”? Yes, I am talking about curly hair, which I had talked about previously…

DAY 1:
Thursday, 7 April, 2016
Yup, seems like I would be stuck in Newark for a while, as you have probably read in my previous post about my first solo trip to USA, Chronicles Of A Writer In USA: Exposition. After I got off the turbulent plane and collected my luggage, I had to find the Amtrak train to get to Connecticut. Supposedly, it was prepaid by the GAPP school, but for some reason, the…

DAY 1:
Thursday, 7 April, 2016
It really hit me when I found myself dragging my luggage, papers and passport in hand, backpack on my back, and waving goodbye to my parents then disappearing into the airport without them. I am travelling solo (for the first time) to the United States of America (for the first time) to attend a journalism conference I was invited to (for the first time as well) and…

Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice.
Sugar, Spice, & Everything Nice.
Moments of sheer joy, merry incidents, happy souls, fleeting looks of admiration, sweet taste of anticipation: all this and much more envelope the joyous festivities of matrimony. Even though we often fear and sometimes even criticize relationships, but when they do take place, we just cannot contain our happiness. And I am speaking from the perspective of someone who is witnessing such unison…

A Note To Self.
A Note To Self.
To the shy twelve-year old with glasses,
It doesn’t seem like such a bright time in your life now, does it? You are not as outspoken and outgoing as the other girls are and you often hate yourself for it. You think way more than you speak. You are among the few who wear glasses in class and it is not exactly good publicity. You are among the few with unruly curls and a boring ponytail all the…

قمر اليوم ويا قمرالليلة المُنير، حدثني عن بساطة جمالك وسحرك الذي لا ينفك أن يُبهرني كل شهر. بُح لي بحكايات من كانوا يستخدمون نورك قديمًا لتدلٌهم علي الطريق في عتمة الليل. احكِ لي قصص الأحبة التي كللتها بوجودك وحركت مشاعرهم بجمالك. قل لي كم عاشق استخدم سحرك كناية عن جمال حبيبته. اشرح لي كيف تَظَل مُنيرًا مُتألقًا وحولك دُجي الليل يُخيم علي كل شيء إلا نورك؟ سبحان الله الذي خلقك وأوهبنا العين التي تري جمالك. *Image is hyperlinked to its original source.

The Core Capstone: A Reflection.
The Core Capstone: A Reflection.
“Shaza, I finally found us an interesting Core Capstone course to take together next semester.”
“Really? What’s it called?”
“CORE 4198: Education and Reform in Egypt.”
“Wow, that sounds really interesting. But what do you think the curricula would be like for this course?”
“Maybe we can email the professors. There are actually two instructors giving the course. I will email them and let you know”

Education in Egypt: The Different Approaches.
Education in Egypt: The Different Approaches.
And what is a better way to know more about the dynamics of education in Egypt than to listen to firsthand stories from people already on the scene? This is exactly what we were doing in the past month in class. Personally, it was indeed interesting to listen and meet with people from various backgrounds who each have their different visions on educational reforms. I was intrigued by each of…

Choose The Correct Answer: Yes or No to Standardized Testing.
Exam…the four lettered word that could send shivers down any student’s spine. Along our almost 16 years of school and university education (sorry medical and engineering students, you guys are still staying more), we can vouch that exams are probably the most stressful part of our academic lives. When we have an exam coming up, we have to do a lot of preparation, a lot of studying, and a whole…
