Happy Diwali

Feeling: Full


Lights minus music. Although I don't know awfully much about Diwali, I celebrated it by going to all-you-can eat Diwali Dinner at Pujabi, my new favorite Indian joint. I went with my roommate, and the food was good as usual. I retold her my Diwali dinner adventure from last year, where I went to Khana Kazana, a bigger Indian buffet, and waited for almost and hour to get a seat. The food was ok, but mostly of what I can remember was eating too much and wanting to throw up afterwords, because my stomach felt like it was going to explode.

Today has been fairly productive. I went to the Black Culture Center for the first time on an "cultural experience" assignment for ME290. Some of the information was intriguing, but half of the time I just thought about how our tour guide can talk so much.
Tomorrow my 2nd round of exams commences. Sucks, since I had just finished the 1st round last week. I'm semi-confident about my math exam tomorrow, but I'm nervous about the phone interview I have tomorrow with Eaton.
The company had to cancel their on-campus interviews due to "travel difficulties", whatever that means, so they're only doing phone interviews. This would be my first time doing a phone interview, so I'm not really sure what's going to happen, but hopefully it will be easy. To be honest, I'm not overly interested about Eaton, but I am about Zebra, whom I really do want an internship with. Fortunately I landed an interview for this Friday (Halloween!), so wish me luck.

October Break Party

I should do my laundry. I told myself I would today, but the weather was blah this morning. I have done laundry only twice this semester, both at a friend's place. I would feel guilty asking him again, so I reluctantly am determined to go to the laundry mat..soon. First time is the hardest right? I think I can make it till the weekend...

This weekend was October Break. I was scheduled to fly home, but since my mom is off to the motherlands for 2 month, going home for 3 days seems like a waste. So my 1st home bound trip is rescheduled for Christmas break. I didn't do too much over break. I took the weekend off for work, because I thought I wouldn't be here. My first Saturday not working was not too exciting, maybe even abit disappointing.
To make up for the lack to excitement, I planned my Monday to be semi-productive. I woke up at 10:30 and went to the corec to exercise. Luckily the weather has been warm these past few days, so it felt especially nice to be outside. After returning home, I had a nice brunch and ventured to Lafayette with my roommate Christine. It was the 2nd time I that I had taken the bus to go shopping in the east side. I kind of like riding the bus out there, because I get to see many areas of Lafayette that I have never seen before. At the same time, it reminds me of how ghetto and jank the east side is.

We went to TJMaxx for a pair of converse Christine wanted (which they were sold out of...).We stopped by Sonic for Happy Hour and shopped ahoy. After a few hours of browsing, I only picked up some socks. Granted I found clothe that I liked, but I'm becoming really selective about the things that I buy.
We made it home around 6:30 and made yakisoba for dinner, broke out the Boone's Farm, and watched American Psycho. What a weird movie.

All in all, break was ok. I probably could have used my time more wisely, but whatev.
