3/27 thurs
exam at 9. we were all like meh we'll do our best. secretary took us to science hall to a conference room. feng would come in whenever he came in. all the passive learning ive been doing paid off, or i hope it did. emptied out my brain and finished at 1:30. didnt wait for the bus walked home. got the two applications that failed to get mailed cuz they needed two stamps. ran out to post office and had to get them weighed out and sent out again. had to finish assignment for dr singh's class which i was still trying to get done before class. gave a botched up summary of two chapters of toms river (great book, depressing tho). made up a detail cuz i couldnt remember what town the 6 new wells were. and everyone knew i was wrong cuz somerset is no where near ocean county. aimee forgot and drafted her summary within 5 mins, once again being a better student then men haha. came home and tried to lay down but the mess from last night was bothering me so cleaned room and kitchen and made dinner and bread for train ride and home coming gift for ami abu. chocolate bread egg sandwich and braided.
3/29 friday - 3/31 monday
got the 8 train. weather was cloudy but nice nj spring air. decided to stay in waiting area of penn station cuz they had new awesome wifi desks. an arab lady came up to me asking about how to find the platform. i explained i hope she understood cuz i couldnt find her and her husband when her train was announced. an asian lady was bewildered by the pigeons.
semi busy train. i only had a lady next to me til albany. the bread was super filling could only eat half of both.
got home around 6. abu said amis not worried about my meals cuz im eating better than them so let abu finish the bhindi he had for lunch. she made aloo gosht and my bread came in handy. they only had two mugs and two saucers in the dishwasher. the next day i put away three loads of laundry and cleaned and vacuumed. and cleaned out my closet again (last break i cleaned entire room). got two bags of ripped clothes and clothes to give away. i still cant get rid of all my sewing projects tho they have a an entire scub compartment to themselves. saturday and sunday we just chilled at home. ami said she wasnt going to make anything special but she did make butter nut squash zucchini soup with orange cranberry chocolate scones. sunday we made kebabs. monday was chinese. i tried to get as much cleaning done everyday. didnt go to the sunday class. ami and abu seemed really happy to have a kid in the house. ami didnt yell at me to get up with a do to list every morning which was refreshing. monday ami and i went to lowes to get dirt and manure. ami wanted to get 10 manure bags but they were so frozen they froze my hands and so we got 4 manure and 2 peat moss which were also frozen and snow covered.
nice laid back break i had to remind myself it wasnt a real break cuz i still had a ton of work due right when i get back. but i did finish reading as much as i needed to and kept them entertained with my modeling project progress by finding topo maps of nj and water contamination stories.
ami's flowers from where she gets chocolate cake forget the fancy stores name.
snowed during the weekend and i was like noooooo. we stayed home all weekend anyway didnt make a difference.
