April Showers

yo yo here we go

i havent really been writing in here as much as I wouldve liked. In fact, not at all. Maybe it was like a 3 day phase I was going through. Really.

ummmm its hard to put into words about what goes on in someone's live for the past month, but I shall give it a try -- Im watching one of the Rambo movies right now. Sly is a funny guy.

First off I got my internship. Yup.
its a small investment firm somewhre in the Hoffman Estates/Schaumburg area so I'm gna be there for pretty much the entire summer. Most likely I'll be driving back and forth from there (not that bad -- just take 59 the whole freaking way). Yeahhh its like 45-hourish of a drive but the way I figure it, if Parag and Faisal can drive 8 hours at a time without blinking from Minnesota and Michigan respectively, then staying on one road shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Am I right? I hope so.

Actually nahh. Its not going to be for the whole summer cuz the family and I are going to India for two weeks and stop off in Italy for a week as well. Not fully finalized which cities in Italy we're gna tackle, but Rome and Pisa are locks at this point. Also I'm psyched about taking Luftansa hahaha. I KNOW I KNOW but trust me all those Air India trips scarred me for life. And it looks as if my parents have felt it as well =]
Summer classes are something that I'm also kindasortaaa considering but given the internship I may be forced to take something online if anything at all.

Last week Shoaib and his friends Saad and Anthony and I went underneath Benedictine and explored the tunnels that connect the campus together. Had to break open a lock and the whole 9 yards. lol it was more exciting than that I'm making it out to be.

Parag's birthday also passed a couple days ago. That means my T-minus 30 days annual countdown is on -- 22 years old. damn. Im not even gna into that right now . . .
But I used to always be one of the youngest in whatever 'crew' I was with. Even if it was with my grade cuz I have a summer birthday. So hanging out with the Benedictine HSA and being one of the oldest is a new feeling. Thank goodness I dont have to set an example or be the 'responsible' or 'mature' one. Dear Lord, what a fiasco that would be . . .
Nishant, Fenil, KD, Rachel, and Janki, are the only ones that have spent more time on this planet than I have. Kaushal, Pinal, Dinesh, Parth Bhatt, etc are all within a few months of me so that makes me feel better -- but when I see that Preyanshu's birthday is coming up and the other Parth just turned 19 its like goddamnnn hahahah
and chillin with Abdullah's posse doesnt help either. To mention a few, Kinza and Abdullah are 19. Rhea, Shachi, and Shoaib are 18. Linisha, Shaan, and Bhaswini are 17. And yup it goes lower. But I think 21/22 and 18/19 isnt that much of a big deal as its cut out to be cuz its not how old you are...its how old you feel ^_^

okay enough of watching my life passing by like the sands of an hourglass . . .

This Friday is BU's India Night. I got suckered into partaking in the Fashion Show. Still not sure what the dress code is. I mean the guideline was 'anything' but I dont wanna be the douchebag in a suit when everyone else has indian garbs and threads on ya'kno? I mean this IS india night after all. But the thing is that most of these kids grew up in India and have more of that type of clothing than I do haha. And so as far as garments go, I got no bullets left in my barrel. okay now im sounding like the guys from Queer Eye, but its something to kinda sorta think about. And as far as my 'runway' goes...ima be obnoxious about it. Its a fashion show for god's sake. Lets not act as if we have sticks up our asses people.

School is going fine. Its rumbling along -- After this week I think its gna be easy pickings for me till the end. Cruise Control if you will. This is the final hurrah for the semester. I gotta start looking at some GMAT crap soon though.

And I'm getting back into the groove of things as far as tennis goes. The time off has made my elbow get pampered -- basically its sore and it never used to be. Right now I'm smackin' some balls (yeah i know) with my buddy Neil but Ankit and Amar apparantly also play so0o0 theyve asked me to hit with them as well. Will let you know how that plays out.
