Friday the thirteenth

2005-05-13T23:41:00.000-07:00

today was the last day before graduation for seniors...i'll miss you guys
i'm sorry about the stuff you're having to deal with now mario, but gato loves you!!!
about today....we had a college talk with dunlap today...so much fun. then after school rims drove maria and me to maria's...when we got there maria realizes that she left her keys in the house because she didn't have her keys...so after much deliberation and many phone calls, we finally decided to go to maria's little sister's babysitter's house to pick up the garage door opener and finally got in the house. :) except when we were pulling up to the house after getting the garage door opener, rims drives on the curb...not too pretty...we get out of the car, and there's a hissing noise: she has a flat tire...after she frantically calls her mother and gets her to have AAA come to maria's we finally start practicing...today was great, despite this and more...
that's my oh-so-interesting story...lovely

wow

odd week

2005-05-07T19:08:00.000-07:00

today i took my last two SAT subject tests...didn't go too well. but poor serena...she had a game at twelve and her testing only ended at 12:30. needless to say, her coach was not too thrilled. divneet was there so we talked for a while after so long, which was nice. but i only have one more ap exam!!! probably the worst: chemistry, but only one! english and history weren't too bad, but math was horrible, the free response was soo difficult. i talked to muns on thursday and she told me that 10 o'clock number 2, i believe thats his name now, knows of her, which is very exciting :-) but it was nice talking to her after such a tough week...i miss talking to tru, we haven't talked or seen eachother since march! two months, in this context, is a very very very very long time. chechi isn't coming up this weekend because she was able to work from her appartment and she has finals. and i heard on friday that ruby chechi and biju chetan are moving! to DC!! thats soo far away, and i'll miss the whole family sooo unbelievably much...so many memories with them, they came here right after murali chetan and manju chechi and i remember all the dinners we used to have together. i'm just afraid that our familial friendship will become like the one with manju chechi and murali chetan, after they moved away. oh well...thats life rite? i'm not looking forward to it...vidula got the flinn, so did ty...i'm so proud of them! they've decided to start dynasties because both of their respective brothers got the scholarship too. i'm so proud of my little vi-dyu-la!!!! she-who-must-not-be-named (copyright infringement?) is still not speaking to me...i just want all this drama to be over...i'm sick and tired of all of it. its icky. randomness: i saw hefner today after sometime more than three years...wierd...and this week i really realized how much i miss talking to and seeing luke - i hate michigan...and anni's leaving soon *sniff sniff*...and i realized how apart me and my friends are getting, and the temporariness of relationships depresses me...i was just thinking about this time last year, and how different my perceptions and so many things were...its wierd...the way things just change irrevocably and all the people who enter your life, and then leave, changing your life forever...enough depressing musings for this entry. kate, priyanca and i talked like we used to, just the three of us, for the first time in forever, which made my day :-) and thursday was 5/5/05!!! i made a wish at 5:55, isn't that very very cool?!?!? i thought so too :-). i saw christine this week!!!!!! she was dropping stephanie off when i was walking in, and we talked: she's going to Taiwan this summer with an exchange program which is very exciting :) and mark called me on thursday and we talked...very odd...altogether this has been quite an unusual week...

AP exams are this week....ARRRGGGHHH! and although i should probably be studying, i'm not...in order to further evade hitting the books, i'm going to narrate the happenings of this weekend to my lovely audience...
Friday was the awards assembly, and i got a college book award which made me quite happy :-) and then i came home and slept for a very long time...
then on saturday, amma and achan were going to LA for chinu's 'iruvatth ettu" so chechi and i went to Noble to study at 9 o'clock...where sadhu and vibha met up with us...that was fun :-) we went to Baja Fresh which just made my day...and all this "wonderfulness" was augmented when chechi, vibha, vivin, his friend and i went to "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which was, in my opinion, fantastic...stayed true to the book and i absolutely LOVED it :-) we then came home to the feast that amma had cooked and left for us and slept.
This morning chechi left for tucson and i'm sitting at home with naveen chetan and vavuchechi. but i better get back to studying.
ciao!

The Ghost of Tom Joad

2005-04-16T12:52:00.000-07:00

Men walkin' 'long the railroad tracks
Goin' someplace there's no goin' back
Highway patrol choppers comin' up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretchin' round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin' in their cars in the southwest
No home no job no peace no rest

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire lightS
earchin' for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and takes a drag
Waitin' for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathin' in the city aqueduct

The highway is alive tonight
But where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sittin' down here in the campfire light
Waitin' on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said "Mom, wherever there's a cop beatin' a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight 'gainst the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me Mom I'll be there
Wherever there's somebody fightin' for a place to stand
Or decent job or a helpin' hand
Wherever somebody's strugglin' to be free
Look in their eyes Mom you'll see me."

The highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kiddin' nobody about where it goes
I'm sittin' downhere in the campfire light

With the ghost of old Tom Joad

-Bruce Springsteen

Happy Vishu!

2005-04-14T23:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Vishu! i don't know...but this has always been one of my favorite holidays...maybe its the whole concept of vishukaineettam...but its nice, you know, to be able to start over, in the middle of the year...its a luxury :-)
Gopu chetan came over tonite, for sadhya...it turns out that he is getting a promotion which is great, i'm so proud of him, but because of that, he's going to have to go back to texas, gipping me out of three months to hang out with him...but he said that he would be back sometime soon!!! which kind of makes up for it :-)
This weekend all of us went to go see Lucky: hindi movie with Salman Khan and an Aishwarya Rai look alike-except 12 years younger...delightful, a young vivacious twin to remind you that you're getting old and senile...those of you who thought about going to see it...i'm warning you now: don't.
and the drama is back...i thought that this year i would be free of it...me and her aren't as suffocatingly close as we used to be, and this year was going pretty well, until this week, when politics got involved...ugh. oh well...
Happy Vishu!

and the cycle begins yet again...

Today was okay- how good can it get?-the end of spring break, back to the endless school days and neverending lectures, the all nighters, the minutes that pass by like hours etc. and oh yes, chemistry. sometimes i wonder if reil is the witch that bette midler plays in Hocus Pocus, you know the one that sucks the life out of little children...
at lunch we had a mu alpha theta meeting where apparently someone signed me up to run for president. there were a lot of us who didn't sign up, but supposedly did...schrieber yelled at us...that was fun.
i finished the Grapes of Wrath this weekend; a beautiful book, anyways...people always goes on and on about how these authors intentionally put all these metaphors and use all these symbols in their novels, but what if they don't? maybe they just write, and everything just comes together so it seems like it was intentional but really wasnt, maybe its all just a happenstance, a coincidence that works to the author's advantage! what if jason's evilness doesn't symbolize the deterioration of the compson family and the southern aristocracy as a whole? maybe faulkner just wanted us to see that jason had some serious issues. does anyone ever think of that?! maybe melville was just trying to bag a little extra cash when he wrote about a white whale, maybe he wasn't closely examining the human psyche! ok, my little outburst is over.
we also went to LA this weekend, we meaning amma, achan, chechi and i; my cousin had a baby last sunday so we went to see her and the baby and of course, the rest of my lovely family. you know how most babies just after they are born are, well, not all that scrumptious to look at? well this one, was just such a delectable little treat...such a beautiful baby :-)
well...that was fun. now i'm off to maya chechi's because vavu chechi just bought a car, and we haven't seen them in forever.
