Hmm


Finished with paper. Now, the worst part: Waiting for evaluation. Hope he is kind and nice to all of us. Now capstone seriousness begins! Wow---theres like 2 weeks remaining and so much to be done. Wowee...
Last night was spent doing what I like most...staying indoors, watching tv and eating warm food. Mmmm...I was watching a bit of Transporter 2. Whats up with that guy only playing those kind of rushy rushy, flashy car driving, adrenaline pumped roles? I would like to see him do a romantic comedy---that would be interesting. I had made some kababs or kebobs, however you spell it on Thursday and they turned out pretty good. I made them with ground chicken. I know I know not too crazy about ground chicken but if you spike it with tons and tons of spices like fresh garlic, fresh ginger, fresh parsley and coriander, jalapenos, spices, etc. it turns out pretty good. And then I also made a yogurt dressing for dipping. Its very similar to tzatziki sauce, except we call it raita and we add cumin powder, coriander leaves to the mix along with the garlic and lemon juice. Okay nuff of food discussion. I have some major spring cleaning to do around the house ! Time to get working =)

Way too much goin on...


and what I mean by that is----I am:
Couple of days away from Bill's paper submission
20 days away from capstone project submission
28 days away from MOMMY coming!
A month away from capstone defense
A month and two weeks away from commencement!

Yup...thats exactly what I mean. Out of all the things mentioned above, I am most excited about mommy making the big trip to Buffalo for graduation. I can't wait to go sightseeing, shopping, eating, etc. with her. She's the coolest person to hang out with.
Anyways, speaking of now---just got back from school. Okay, major revelation. I detest rain more than anything else.. Snow is soo much better. I was waiting for the shuttle forever! Got so drenched and having just gotten off of antibiotics, I am so scared I am going to get sick again. Oh got Mahrin's engagement invitation in the mail today. *tear*...mad people get engaged, married, babies, etc. I am feeling so weird...like the only one (of course gowri you are there to keep me company in the unmarried zone). And then there's parental pressure, societal pressure, etc. It feels so weird. Anyways, gonna take a nap now. Peace@

"You jump, I jump"

Yesterday: Watched Clueless (Tbs), Perfect Man, Titanic (TNT)
Today: Watched Clueless (Tbs), Perfect Man, Titanic (TNT)

Titanic tears me up every time. I am so emo---I cry for every little thing.

Yes, I know my life is very exciting. Well, they're showing '13 going on 30' on FX so thats something new. I have had this weird stomachace for 4 days now. I don't know whats the cause. I have been lazing on my bed every now and then in between writing my paper. I just made some ginger tea because Robbie was telling me over the phone how ginger helps with indigestion. Sweetheart! I am so sick already of waiting for spring. When is spring going to be here? Nuff of cold, cold and cold. Although I must admit, its much better sleep when it's cold outside. As soon it starts to warm up, nightime turns to torturetime.

I made this arabic dessert today---basboosa. It's like this cake kind of thingmajig made of semolina, coconut, butter, sugar. You bake it and then pour a lemony-sugar syrup on top of it and wait for it to soak it. Turned out pretty alright. But I can't eat because of the stomach roar. Oh, another sad tidbit---I am allergic to mushrooms but I LOVE mushrooms. Such a sad revelation.

Sparks- Coldplay


Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You'll say, "Oh, sing one we know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do

I say "oh"
I say "oh"

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will…)

I said "oh"
I cry "oh"

Yeah I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
Singing out

Some rice, chicken and dal

Yeah I am much better now. Almost 100% better. Thank you God! I have finished organizing all the information for my paper. The 20 page one. Now I just have to make it all flow together and make it sound cohesive. Its such a great feeling---being well and able. Maybe I was taking good health a little too much for granted, I don't know...anyways, really grateful to God for getting me through this. It's nice and sunny outside. It has been nice for the last few days and although that means good times outside the house, means feeling hot inside the house. Last night for instance, I turned the AC on but it was giving out hot air. Probably because the heater was on not too long ago. Or maybe because the complex people haven't turned on the AC's yet...yeah they have weird controlling system. So I didn't sleep that well last night as a result. I am very sleepy now...very. Hmmm...what to do? Maybe a little bitty nap won't hurt. I am still on antibiotics until tomorrow so maybe that's another reason why I am feeling fatigued.

Robbie The To-Be Lawyer



Being far, far away in Florida--you have been a wonderful source of support for me.
Sorry for all the late night, early morning, bizarre timing calls! You never get angry--- come on already! I feel bad that you are always having to see or rather hear me get sick all the time. I promise I will try not to get sick again any time soon...but you know with my immunity. I am such a weakling.
Thank you for finding my insurance thingy from the HTH student website--you did it super-quick. What would I have done without your help? You are a wonderful friend and a whole lot more. Thank you dude =)
