yes, i say once again, college is crazy. the first quarter of my frosh year of college has gone by and i have yet to buy a textbook. the plan was to buy all my books online but one book i got was the wrong edition and one just never showed up. for pretty much all our midterms/finals there are practice tests from a couple years before online. usually this would be considered cheating but here, they're just giving them to us. my method is to take a long nap about 2-3 hrs before the test and chug a redbull right before. it's the only way to go.
brown sugar went to berkeley some time ago (nov 5-7) for an a cappella concert. we sang the best we've ever sang before (in my personal opinion.) we arrived in cali friday night and then went to north beach and had a really expensive dinner at some italian place. we stayed at a holiday inn but only booked the rooms for 3-4 ppl bc if we said there were 10 ppl theyd prolly charge us more. cheap indians. after we took the Bart from north beach to the train stop near our hotel we had to wait for over an hour for 2 cabs to come that we had called. there were some shady guys across the street from us that asked us if we needed to get somewhere. we said yes, but then they ointed to 2 lowriders and we were forced to turn down their offer. after that, we waited even longer for our nonexistent cabs. we ended up taking the shuttle back to the airport at around 1 in the morning (which was 3AM our time). 2 girls tried to get into a cab instead of waiting for our hotel shuttle and about 5 cabs turned them down. i guess i
would turn someone down too if she was banging on my window at 1 in the morning for a ride. from the airport we managed to catch a shuttle back to our hotel but then we didnt have enough towels bc allegedly only 3-4 ppl were staying in the two rooms and we had to ask for about 20 more towels bc each girl demanded 2 towels. i got stuck
sleepin on the floor cuz i was the frosh. the next morning we all headed over to the campus and hung out in our room. all the groups (a grand total of 5) drew for the order of appearance and we got last. then adam and i went out for breakfast. we were specifically told not to have any milk, cheese, or anything bad for our voices. but we went out and ate exactly that. maybe that's why we didnt win. allegedly we got 3rd but only 1st and 2nd were announced. uofi (chai town) won first bc they had a story and acting and all that jazz. they told some story about how at the place they were staying at a fire started 'that was as big as this building' and that they were desperately trying to find a fire hydrant. that's when we almost threw out a 'state school!' second was usc which was kinda strange bc one of the judges was from there. afterwards nobody really wanted to go to the afterparty bc we hadnt won but finally we managed to go out and we all had a very good time despite berkeley's ordinance to not sell hard liquor within a 1 mile radius of the campus. then we crashed at a friend's place around 2 or 3 then woke up a few hours later to catch our flight. yeah, it was a good trip.
what else have i been up to... i took a 'prospie' to a frat a couple weeks ago. a very, very bad idea. this kid wasnt a real prospie, he was just a kid in my comp sci class that happened to still be in high school. he said he'd help me and a friend of mine with a couple problems we were having w/ a particular homework assignment if we'd take
him to a 'college party'. first we were hesitant about taking him but then we had a long conversation about anything that might happen and we worked everything out. he didnt have a license, let alone a car and he lived about 15 mins from campus. when we were talkin to him before he came out he said he only drank vodka and whiskey and we told him he'd hafta settle for beer or dimitri's or something like that. somehow he convinced his mom to drop him off at the sargeant parking lot at 10.30 and come back to pick him up at 1.30. so we both took him to a frat and we kept an eye on him for the first 10-15 mins to make sure he was ok. after a while we told him that he could do whatever he wanted just as long as he didnt leave the house. we left him and he then started taking multiple shots and when we got back to him he was pretty drunk and was tryna grab every girl he saw. it was pretty funny till we found out it was already 1 and he had to go back to his mom in a half hour. typically the prospie sleeps somewhere on campus then has time to sober up before they head home but this kid's mom was gonna see him in a lil bit and he was wasted. it was a pretty supid idea on our part and the guys in the frat were rather irked at us. somehow we managed to get him into his car when his mom picked him up w/o her realizing what poor shape he was in. things coulda gotten sour if she had gotten mad at us. life is always a learning experience.
holloween was awesome. the plan was to go to madison w/ some ppl for the weekend but then that fell through. it was gonna be me, shiver, and suraj goin as a trio. but then suraj said he couldnt bc of orgo and then shiver said he couldnt bc of something so that was a shame. but we all still went tgether as oompa loompa's to phi delt's fright night at some barn. but it wasnt a real barn which was a shame, they had a bar in it and a bathroom, pshhh. it woulda been even more awesome if it was a real barn with cows and chickens and the like. speaking of parties, the lodge had a sweet monopoly party. they couldnt serve any alcohol bc it was a registered party but for 2 hrs b4 it there were mad drinks all over the 3rd floor. then in the middle the fire alarms went off so we had to evac the building but we got back in after 20 mins. the whole party was a blacklight party so everybody came in a white tee and there were highlighters that you could write on ppl's shirts/bodies w/. guy had some invisible ink that i put all over my hands and while i was putting it on my hands one girl just came up and covered my whole face w/ highlighter. i didnt really know how i looked till later on that night when i took a picture w/o flash. my whole face was glowing - just my face. it was kinda weird but kinda cool at the same time. that night was awesome.
i cannot explain how much i love college. i dont know if its northwestern in particular or just the college experience in general. my major's not too demanding as opposed to popular thought. i still havent had to write a paper over 3 pages - besides that one chem lab report which i bombed. also, what happend to curves in college? i dont think there were any curves in chem or ea which was very dissapointing. i studied like crazy for finals. i lost my wallet before which was probably a sign that i should stop going out and just hit the books. i would literally wake up, head to a chem review session, then go to tech, have dinner, go to core till around 3 or 4 then go to sleep. this was my routine for 4 days straight. i really payed off. it's also nice having an indian crowd at nu to hang out w/. the thursday of finals week i and about 20 other indians were crammed into payal's room in allison partying it up. most people had their last one on thursday but unlucky me had one on friday. i had studied for it a lot before and decided i could afford a party. there were so many people id never seen before and what started off as a calm game of caps turned into no less than a rave. then me and suraj went over to krishna's place and hung out there for a while. in high school there was one other indian in my class of 300. i love partying w/ indians. the monday we get back there's something goin on at krisna's place bc all the kids that were abroad are coming back. way to start the year off right.
im home on winter break right now. i got my grades which are good but not as good as i was hoping for. pretty much im just sitting around doing nothing wishing i was back at school. im almost glad we only have 3 weeks off instead of the usual 4. 1st week back is gonna be rush week which im sure will prove entertaining to say the least. last week my cousin gena flew in from texas w/ about 70 other kids for some sort of national orchestral performance. my fam went to see her at gino's east, the restraunt her group was eating at when the came monday night. later on i was talking to gena for about 4 and a half hours on the phone and i found it amusing ppl were asking her questions about her boyfriend. bwahaha. she was telling me about how naive her parents are. some guy spray painted 'call bill for dick' on their garage door and her parents called the police but didnt know what it meant. and the police asked if their daughter was having problems w/ boys at school and they didnt understand why they'd be asked that and asked gena what the officer meant. hillarious. gena rocks my world. im telling her how awesome it'd be if she came to nu 2 yrs from now. we'll see what happens. in a lil while imma put up a photo album that has all the pics from college... stay tuned.

'ok, i have never ever gotten to fourth base...'
'it's home base you fucking fob!'
'im lookin forward to seein ya tnight man, we're gonna get really fucked up.'
'this is my plan. my master plan. i know im not going to be some awesome athlete everybody knows. so im going to trick some really hot girl into marrying me because she

'but when ya think about it, after about 20 years, all women start looking the same'
