so i have kind of mellowed down on this blogging for a while..i dont know ..it seeems like everytime i have something important to say i kind of just mutter it to myself or tell someone really close and then just keep moving on with my life..there have been a lot of changes in my life..i mean nothing huge but just small things - which still makes a big difference...right now i am sitting in my room ...bored to tears at the thought of cleaning my house because we are having guests over this weekend...and even if we didnt ..i still would clean or re-arrange some things because i get bored of the same old routine....well i guess i should start of from sunday..when i came back from tech....or rather saturday because it seems like it was more of an exciting day...anyway.....

SATURDAY
hmm...i think i got up around 11...and took a shower .....checked my email ..and found out housing staff would be getting lunch at the WCHO..so i picked up my sandwich after talking to Nisha on the phone...then i headed down to her house...after talking to her for a while...we both got onto the airport shuttle and it was exactly on time!...i was quite impersssed by that....we headed out towards the airport only to get stuck into traffic...it was peak hour..or rather it seemed like it..till the driver pointed out that the rush was due to graduation...we roamed everywhere...and finally managed to get out of the traffic jam...and believe me it was really bad! ...then at the airport..we looked for the American Airlines counter...and stood there for such a long time..Nisha and myself were already coming up with food plans..and were like.."hmm..so..what should we do for lunch..?...where to eat..."....we decided we will stop by at one of the food courst at the airport...i mean i think that was already intended but we just were takling and basically passing time..because the line was incredibly long...and didnt seem like it was moving....then afterwards..we talked to somas who was at his sisters place ..he was there for her graduation..and before calling...we were like.."hmm..should we call now..i mean what happens if they are still at teh graduation..and what do i say??"...i told baldie "should i just say happy graduation?"...hahah.....and we kind of just stood there laughing and joking about it...then we called ..and baldie just passed on the message to somas...we were waiting and looking around in the line...and i thought there was a southie on the loose....we were like..looks like a jyothika a lot...then afterwards she talked to this guy in spanish..and we were like..hmm..maybe she knows spanish also..and after a while...we were like ...naaah..cant be....so we just joked about that...the climax, however, wwas yet to come....we finally saw the line getting shorter..and it was our turn..or rather nisha's turn to check-in...when we got to the counter...the lady ...who was not very friendly to say the least...said "put the suitcases flat up"...in her crude tone and she stood there in a rather manly gesture....she said it was "12 pounds overweight...you need to remove some things because i aint going to carry this"......then...we tried the other suitcase hoping it would weigh less ...but it was 30 pounds overweight...so with little hope..we started unpacking some of the chocolates...and after a point..i could see baldie getting tensed..and even i was kind of getting worried...i mean she packed so much and now these rude airport people who had little consideration were like..just unload or pay a $600 fine...so we piled up the candy on the counter and watcched the numbers grow steadily...till it finally reached 44 pounds...thank god!! it was tortorous..and then we had to hunt for a bag also....we finally escaped ...or thats what it seemed like..and had a sandwich at Atlanta Bready Company...it was very nice..but really our minds were on getting the candy..and what to do with it..i told her i can take it back..but it was really heavy..so i was thinking of getting a cab..then we were like..lets just get some bags from a bookstore and take something..because there was so much and she didnt end up having anything...i hate that feeling when you pack so hard only to blow up in your face...we managed to put whatever we could..and she rushed to security ..she had barely 15 mins to her flight...luckily she called me after she got to the gate and i was relived to know that the flight was delayed a half hour....phew!! a very interesting experience..but i was glad its all over now...and glad that she made it her flight safely ..:-) After talking to Nisha, I headed for home (Tech ofcourse now)...and dozed off on the train...luckily i got up right before the Midtown stop.....i took the bus back to Tech (i was glad it was waiting there because i didnt want to carry 2 huge bags down 10th street and the weather also wasnt very friendly that day!)...as i got on the bus i could hear people mumbling..and rattling sounds..and in the back of my mind i was like..just mind your own business..for some reason i was thinking they were looking at me and the huge bags and making rude comments..but then i just ignored it..and got off at my stop...i went to baldie's house to drop the bags off ...but no one was there....i guess her roomates were already gone by the i reached there...so i just carried the bags back to my dorm....luckily i managed to sneak i ride from a guy from my lcc class so the walk wasnt too painful...i came back to my room...rested for a while..reorganized my books, notes, clothes and sorted out my drawers...fixed my bed up..packed for home..and then just listened to some music on my comp...i was waiting for somas to get back from his sister's place...i was chatting to anu online for a while ..she had reached dubai safely so she told me to pass on that messge to nats and neha who were at the airport then...around 6:30 somas called me..and we were just talking for a while..and he said lets order some pizza...i went over to his room a little while later....as soon as i got there..nisha was on the phone so it was good that i could talk to her before her long flight to london...we ordered pizza - thin crust :( ...neither of us liked it but we were too busy eating and didnt have time to complain....i was burning some cd's while somas was uploading our panama city pics on snapfish. we got bored and by 9 ..decided to watch "monsoon wedding"..i really liked the movie...although i had heard negative comments about it...i thought it was realistic and one of those very typical "at home and potrarying true indian life" type movies....

SUNDAY
got up kinda late....heated up the food that my mum had packed ...had a real quick lunch as somas had to leave for the airport...after eating ..we took out the trash ...then somas had to leave..so i was like..just keep calling..haha...i stayed there for a while burning more cd's..and had to run back to my room to send more songs because my cd burner program was not working....i talked to my PA and got my housing report checked off after our inspection...so that went well...then finally..i called my parents to pick me up..and we left around 6....i was burning...cleaning..and doing odd sorts of things because i just wanted to finish everything and go back....and not have anythign pending...:) came back and went to the video shop to pick up some movies....and relaxed for the rest of the evening....
