edgar and grandma

what did your mom say to that? do they know you are back together or are you still evasive about that?

its so weird that its so close to the end...this time tomororw i will be taking my first drink of the evening :)

jessie

she just emailed me again. my first response i didn't even mention her cancelling on me. her second email was like are you ok with me going out? it's just such a stupid question to ask. what, i'm going to say yes? so that we can have an evening of her wishing she were out with them drinking? i told her that i already had plans tomorrow so it would have to wait until sunday if she still wanted to go see the movie and i didn't care whether she went or not. her response to that included a big love you at the end.

i ALSO asked my mom whether she would be uncomfortable if i brought edgar to my grandma's surprise party on the 11th . . . oh, this could get interesting.

def talk to her

i think its gone on too long megan, she is being a bit ridiculous - he was at fault too!!! i kinda see where she is coming from in that she doesnt like him so she wants to avoid it totally - but its not fair when she cancels on you for them... :( i just dont like that in general....

sorry meg :(

maybe talking to her will help. she might not even realize what she's doing to you. .

nush, i am getting my nails done at the new place on spring and sullivan. jackie and i are going when i get home from the gym - probably around 6 or 6:30. i'm going to leave here in a little bit and go to the gym. soo. .. you should wait and come with me and jackie! :)

i just slept through a seminar

it was only an hour long and i could no stay awake for the life of me! the lecture hall was decent size, but i got told that i should go by gen and courtney. but i still don't understand what they are talking about! i understood some of it - T cells working with B cells and cell migration - but only vaguely!

and no more plans with jessie. jordan (brent's friend) invited her out partying where brent goes to school. they were supposed to go out yesterday for brent's birthday but brent cancelled. i think i'm about to have a talking to with her sometime soon. i don't understand how she is holding on so tight to her dislike for edgar that she won't even say his name to me (basically) she asked me if i wanted to do something wednesday - but after she had barely spoken to me for an hour of me being home. i already had plans with edgar so i said no and she was kinda just like oh, whatever and hid in her room again. so - does she miss spending time with me? if so, she cancels on me when we had plans . . . and she was like want to go see the movie sat or sun? well - i already have plans for saturday. only for like 2 hours - but since she has to go to work, 11 to 1 kills the potential for us to go to a movie after that and for her to still make it to work by 4. whatever - i just don't know how she can stand by ignoring such a large portion of my life and think its ok.

oops i guess it did post :) oh well more to distract you all

Girls

i hate when i blog then it says page cant be displayed...

jules, are you getting your nails done down here? if you are you should let me know what time and ill go with you - and if you arent, you should :)

i went to the sample sale - not exciting - they had no sevens and i wasnt really in the mood for other types i know little about...anyway now im home, finished lunch and am trying to figure out the best way to spend the last 6 hours of studying....

nails!

julie - will you do your nails here near the apt?? then i can go with you? if you do then call and let me know around what time just so i can make sure im done with everything i need to do by then...

i bought eggs for breakfast, turkey to make my lunch for tomorrow, then went to the sample sale - which i wasnt too excited about. no sevens, and the other stuff i hadnt heard of and didnt want to spend that kindo f money when i really just want a pair of sevens more to know that i have sevens....

then i bought a sandwich and came home...now im trying ot figure out what the best use of my last 6 hours or so of studying should be...

not dead.. just swamped :(

hi girls

i'm not dead today! this week was busier than i thought it would be. i think my days are gonna always be like that.. i'll start writing a summary blog at the end of the day :) after i read everyone else's.

jules i'm glad your night was so good :) and that you are in such a good mood. my night was really good too.. work but good. i stayed late and worked on a bunch of things.. but was super productive after all the others left and then had a late late dinner with moush and ameya.. which was fun :)

i'm so excited for this weekend.. all the sales and the xmas party and nush finally being free of studying! i hope we go somewhere fun for dinner. i've decided to make a dress for the xmas party although i don't know if i'll really have time. i may duck out early at like 6 and try and work on it tonight. no hamptons party for me :( (I need to be sloppy sloppy drunk to really enjoy the essence of all those people and to enjoy hearing "rrrrrupa" which i hate :) ) but i might go out with moush/sam/rachna, etc later.

i'm kinda in a crappy mood today.. so i may stop by later, jules so your hyper happiness can rub off on me. but megan, i have been in a really good mood all week.. and haven't really talked to you.. hi!

more in a bit.. have another meeting. blah.

who needs them anyways?

i'm in a GREAT mood! i love fridays :) i think i'm going to leave work at like 4, go to the gym, then go get my nails done and start the partying!

amazing how energized you are when you get more than 7 hours of sleep. who would have thought?

i met a guy from medellin last night. it was so much fun chatting with him! it's great to meet people that love my hometown almost as much as i do :)

Julie!

stay strong! we can live without the brownies!!!!!

park ave

so different in rochester :)

im going home :) ill talk to you guys later and wont be back at work till wednesday! so megan and julies youll have to do without both the indians blogging unless rupa revives from the dead....

wicked sunny

it is super sunny here. snow on the ground and a bit windy - but really sunny. nush - fake sunshine :) i walked from my car to the lab (20minutes-ish) and it was sooo nice :)

tonight i get to have a hang out with jessie night :) after i get out of work, we are going to go to the gym together. then, the plan is see bridget jones 2 somewhere - probably eat somewhere in that range.

there was a park ave vendors open house yesterday - all the businesses on park ave (one of the cross streets to the block i live on) edgar and i went - mostly it was lots of people walking around and not a lot to do - but we went to a little sub shop for dinner. there was a family with a little boy just old enough to walk by himself. he kept running back to see us because i was making faces at him to make him laugh. eventually, his mom was the adult that was on follow him around duty and she saw me and was like oooh, that's why you like coming back here! and told me he was a big flirt :) it was cute :)

you're coming to nyc in a couple of weeks!

i can't believe we're already in december. where did this year go???

i'm in such a great mood! i love fridays. and i guess the fact that i was in bed by 9:30 last night doesn't hurt. i met up with jackie after work yesterday - she was at some xmas party with her work people. joe, the guy i kissed a couple of weeks ago, kept asking her about me and kept telling her to invite me. it was fun, but i def had like no food in my system, so i got a little buzzed after a couple of drinks. jackie was pretty wasted. i don't know how that girl does it. she'd been drinking since like 4 o'clock! anyways, it was a fun night.

tonight we're going to an xmas party with a bunch of hampton people (rups, you sure you're not interested??). and then this weekend i'm looking forward to shopping and our xmas party :)

i had a large coffee from the street vendor this morning, so i've been BOUNCING off the walls. plus it's friday and it's kinda sunny (although cold) out, so i'm sooo hyper!

sample sale!

uuuuh :)
that's so shopaholic takes manhattan :)
man, i really need to get out in the world . . .

36 hours and ill be free

im leaving at noon, going to get my nails done, then get groceries to make lunch, then go home...jules i may stop by that sample sale today on my way home and get jeans to wear tomorrow night :) plus i hope itd be less crowded and picked through before the weekend...we shall see its so close to home, and hour study break cant hurt :)

i agree with megan

don't let anything dev-related bring you down now. take your test, have a GREAT time with your friends on sat night, and then deal with boyfriend stuff.

youre right :)

its just so frustrating...

i know youre right its just too many things adding up. and when you are in as much pain as i am all i want is for my boyfriend to pick up a phone and call...not at midnight and fine maybe not as soon as i text him at 7, but come on...its 445 the next f*ing day...thats annoying even if i didnt hurt my finger!

im gonna go home in like 15 min...relax then take the test...

not that i'm 100% on his side but . . .

i think this more minor of an offense is getting under your skin more because the badness as of late.

it's bad. but not HORRIBLE . . .

more important than passing judgement on dev - IGNORE HIM AND STUDY/TRY TO RELAX! all that matters for the next two days is the test :)

friends

there were two poor nushies and lots of love from my friends..yet my boyfriend of 1.5 years hasnt even called me to see how im doing...

yesterdat i texted him last night at 7 pm that i thought i broke my finger....he called once at like midnight and thats it...i didnt pick up cause i was too annoyed....am i wrong to be annoyed???

screw what they ask for

i'm going to get myself everything I want :)
it's so hard when kids have cool toys and you don't get to steal them from them.

poor nush

you should take nyquil today! that way you'll get at least one good night of sleep before your test.

we just came back from toys r us. it's so much fun playing santa! i got my kid a fisher price interact dvd thingy, rupa got a dollhouse, and radie got a barbie karaoke electric guitar :)

i'm going to be such a bad parent - i'm just going to buy my kids EVERYTHING they ask for :)

73!

thats great megan! way better than 30!

someone needs to make this pain go away...i cant handle it anymore :( and im just exhausted now since i didnt sleep much...jules - your nyquil/exam situation is the only thing that is holding me back from taking some strong stuff to make me sleep...

i think ill go home around 4, and then take the last of the sample tests from 6-9 then go to bed....

cell thawing

basically, i'm finished for the day. but i won't leave for another hour at least . . .
I THAWED MY CELLS! and got a really reasonable yield! (i counted 13.5 million cells going into the freezer and got back 9.94 million back - so, 73%) now, everything is safely in the incubator :)

i was so anxious doing that - my hands are still a little jittery :)

my turn for a 2 hour lunch :)

allen just took us all out for sushi...thats like a dream come true :) i tried soft shell crab rolls which were soooo good. and then i just got boring philadelphia rolls just in case i didnt like the crab i wanted one safe thing :)

ummmmm

thawing cells

i have to go thaw cells now. i'm nervous. ahhhh!

chipotle

add that to the list for next week jules!!! either wed or friday...would either of those days work for you for lunch?

allen is taking us out to lunch today...i think we need to discuss expanding the team... :)

will blog more when i get back

not purposely trying to make you jealous :) just answering the question....

sunday - shopping (with all those coupons i emailed to you girls), then cosby thing at 7
monday - leave for ct at 8 am, reach at 10, shopping with mom, lunch with parents, electrolysis, going to see alexandr
tues - home
wed - avenue q
thurs - office xmas party

im becoming like miranda just like megans blog - not that dev comes home late but he goes to bed late, then wants to have sex and im waaaay too tired and my mind is waaay too preoccupied. then in the morning i want to get up and do stuff and cant just lay in bed all day doing nothing...i go crazy! there is so much to do here that i dont want to lay in bed all day!! plus he has never seen me like samantha, and he thinks charlotte is way too annoying...and im def not like carrie - im not sure what that means but i know im not like her :)

i cant deal with typing with one hand!! im gonna go to duane reede now and get a splint.... :(

refresh my memory

nush, what are your plans for this weekend/next week?

i know you'll be partying it up on saturday and hanging out here sunday (right?). after that, when are you going home and all?

and how are you becoming like miranda??

i def think you should take a cab home tonight. it's not every day you get pretty flowers!

and...another happiness...

i called this girl lisa that i was really good friends with in high school on monday cause i randomly remembered it was her bday...and she called me back today :) we are going to have lunch on tues when im at home....

i think im gonna see mike too....

maybe i am becoming megan...or mirandda...

thats precisely why dev thinks im like her :)

sandi lin sent me good luck flowers!!! she is sooo cute :) they are a dozen white roses and soooo pretty. i may have to take a cab home tonight so i can bring them home :)

miranda moment

you know the first round of her and steve? where he gets in at 2am, and she gets up early for her 9 to 5??? and he always wants to have sex, and she tries to stay awake but its just so late! ok, i FEEL HER PAIN! and then that saturday where he just wants to lay around in bed and she has stuff she wants to do - ohmygod. it's like my life right there on the small screen.

no doctor

i decided that all they will do is make me wait forever and then tell me to put it in a splint....so ill just keep doing that myself :)

who am i now that im not samantha??? dev said i was like miranda, but megan is so much more miranda than me that it doesnt fit....

rupa - where the heck are you???

sex & the city

i'll only play samantha if that means i get to date smith jared. he's so hot ;)

but nooooo, i'm not a slut! just cause the rest of you are practically married / working too much / studying doesn't mean that i get to be the resident slut. i only like kissing tons of guys, nothing else :)

nush, are you going to go to the doctor during work today? your poor pinkie :(

speaking of me not being a slut. . . do you guys remember dave and willy? 2 guys from miami that jackie and i met summer of last year, and then they came to visit us last year sometime in november? jacks hooked up with dave, i hooked up with willy...

well, they'd been pretty much MIA for the past year or so. willy emailed me yesterday out of nowhere, and then he IM'ed me this morning. dave called jackie out of the blue a few days ago. looks like dave wants to come to nyc, and he wants to stay in the julie and jackie hotel. he's coming next weekend, he told jackie he's bringing a friend. i hope him and his friend enjoy sleeping on our sofa bed :)

ok, time to keep fighting with the sprint people. i hope you all enjoy your days. nush, i hope your finger gets better!

:( poor nushie

i hope your finger doesn't hurt as much for the test :(
and we don't mind hearing about the studying - we all have our roles. you study constantly, julie has a different guy every weekend, rupa works and barely surfaces . . . and me. well, i live in rochester. i'm boring. :)

on a related note . . . does this mean we need to switch around roles? i'm feeling julie is playing the part of samantha lately . . . especially compared to the rest of us :)

broken finger :( or at least majorly hurting finger

yesterday on my way out the door i smashed my finger in the door :( and i think i may have broken my pinky...luckily on my left hand so sat still shouldnt be a problem except that i couldnt sleep all night and it is still throbbing....

i think i just need a stiff drink - jules thats your job for sat at 6 pm :)

tonight one more practice test and then you guys wont have to hear about all this studying until next may!! (a month before the next test....)

wake up girls

so, today i have to do an experiment i don't know how to do. and eun is a doctor today - not a research boss. i've done it twice, but not since september. so, i have to ask courtney and gen lots of questions and hope they have time for me :)

AND i have to thaw out cells that i froze. which i am very bad at . . . you are supposed to get 80 to 90% of the cells you froze, instead i get like 30%. so . . . we'll see. today might be a very disheartening day.

you should thank jackie

she's the one that's been in contact with them, so she's the one that told them not to come (although i fully agree with her!).

i'm bringing jackie to my holiday party. i still don't know what i'm wearing. i need to try on the red dress that mari lent me, but it looks like it might be a little big.. .

saturday night sounds like fun! we'll figure out a place to go . ..

ok, i wanna leave in like 20 mins so i should stop fooling around. . .

why isnt this working? and thanks for telling them not to come friday :)

yup friday night ill be there...im gonna leave work at 12, go home, study, then eat dinner with dev (not sure if he is staying over and promising no drama or leaving to ensure no drama :)) want to be in bed by 1030, will be up at 6 to shower, eat a big breakfast and be at the test center by 8....

will be done at 5, and will stop by the nail place on sull/spring to get a back massage before i come home :) so i should be home by 615...

i told jacks ill be sooo tired so no sleeping! that prob doesnt make sense to most people but im sure you girls understnad....so dinner then out :) ellen is going to manahatta at 11 for some party - free bottles etc, maybe thats an option? i told jackie i leave the "where we go for free drinks" part to you and her :)

i cant wait!!!!!

jules - are you taking jackie to your holiday party thing?

3 more nights :)

food coma

i just had a 2.5 hour lunch with all the other assistants in SG (as a welcome lunch to 2 new people we hired). we went to ruby foos, a chinese fusion place. i had yummy passion fruit cosmos, but now i'm SLEEPY. and there's so much work to be done. fun fun.

nush, i can't believe you'll be FREE in a few days! friday night jackie and i are going to a party with all the hamptons people (rupa, i know you can barely contain yourself). 2 of the connecticut guys wanted to spend the night, but you'll be happy to know that jackie vetoed that so that you can get a full night's rest before your test. will you be at the apt friday night? i promise we won't have any people over :)

is saturday the night we're all having dinner? i read all the blogs yesterday to catch up, but now i'm confused and don't remember exactly what the weekend plans were. . .

i'm so looking forward to the weekend :)

next week :)

i am proud to say that i am busy every night next week already and with all fun stuff!! no more studying!! as a side note - i was studying my flashcards on the subway this morning, and the girl next to me was studying a book on sex positions - really studying it, like moving around and trying to figure out how her leg was supposed to go where it was drawn!! hahahah i was trying really hard to concentrate on my notes and not let my jaw drop to the ground :)

im up for alphie the week after that though :) or next weekend..

as for my secret santa person - that one $10 gift is all i got so far - i just saw it and loved it so i had to get it :) other than that im not sure what "all out" means or what the "norm" would/should be....

rupa - are you around this weekend? jules said your haircut looks good :)

i'm so happy other people are blogging!

i got lonely yesterday . .
but now i have to go play with blood.

alfie!

i've been wanting to see that. nush that's the movie with jude law ( i know.. one of 10 million) but it's the remake of this old movie about this man named alfie who is a womanizer. 12:30 does sound early to me too though for sunday.. we could go during the week next week? also i'd be up for polar express but this weekend is a lil busy.

i'm excited for this weekend... our company party is this weekend. it's at the reopened fao schwartz. which isn't as cool as the last time (where it was in the Met) but we'll get to play with toys and there's supposedly some erupting volcano made of ice cream! ha ha.. i can't wait. and of course.. there will be an after party on uncle d at tao- this place right near there (it's the one from SATC where there's a big buddha.. i think that's the one where big and carrie were fighting outside the bathroom?) i'm bringing ameya which will be good. we haven't really hung out in a long time :( so this is our catch up week (or a few days) of hanging out time.

i wish it weren't raining today.. it's so yucky out! i'm having lunch today with this guy who has been kinda like my mentor here and we're going to talk about what i can do next after i'm done with this super computer thing. i'm excited! i may finally get to do real business development here like i wanted instead of this random stuff that they just call "business development" to make someone do it. that was a confusing explanation but i'll write more after lunch.

by the way, how "all out" is everyone going with their secret santa gifts? i wasn't sure after nush mentioned she got her "first gift" like there are many!!! happy day, girls!

whats alfie?

i think 1230 is too early for me on sunday :) so we (or maybe just I and some other poor soul i can con into going with me) may just have to push it off to another weekend/day...

oh no, it's happening again!

no one's responding to me :(

polar express

what didn't you like??

oh yea

i saw polar express this weekend - we took jackie's little cousins. not on imax, just a regular movie theater. i didn't think it was that great. nush and rupa, i won't be seeing it with you this weekend.

but is anyone up for seeing alfie?? i really want to see it. jackie and mari said it was good. any takers?

guess who's back. . .

it's me! i was actually here yesterday, but had tons of stuff to catch up on so i didn't get to blog. i hope you missed me ;)

anyways, it's gross and rainy out (surprise, surprise). we had a couple of new people start in our department this week, so hopefully my work load will be a bit more bearable after they're all trained.

miami was great (like always). the weather was beautiful, i spent part of saturday and all day sunday out on my cousin's husband's friend's boat. it was awesome. on saturday we just rode around miami beach, then pulled up to a seafood restaurant called big fish (which was yummy and very expensive, but the owner of the boat, craig, is pretty well-off, so he treated us all) and had dinner. yea, the boat is right on the water. they have a dock, so you just pull your boat up to the restaurant and tie it up, and the waiters give you a hand and help you out. isn't that awesome??? then on sunday we left early and rode out to eliot key. it's a little island about 30-45 mins away from miami. it's really popular for people with boats, especially in the summer. there's a sandbar there, so people just anchor their boats and walk around and socialize and stuff. it was pretty empty since it's almost 'winter'. we just hung out there for a bit, the guys brought a grill so they made us yummy burgers and chicken for lunch while the girls laid around and listened to music. . .it was awesome :) i love hanging out with my cousin. she's the one i always hung out with when i went to colombia, but she moved to miami about a year ago. she's awesome.

ok, time to do some crappy work. whoooppeeeee!

i hope you all have a lovely day :)

i tried blogging a lot it just never posted....

now im going home :) so i guess youll be alone till tomorrow....unless the de shaw girls make time for us non-de-shaw people...:)

george . . . billy . . . who ever i am, i am it alone . . .

(that was a vague reference to the "alone" themed songs running through my head . . . george througood (spelling??) sings the american classic i drink alone while billy idol has an unforgetable 80s hit with dancing with myself)

see. this is what happens when i'm left alone.

where'd everyone go?

i'm lonely :(

i do like my job

but everyone else in the lab says things like "if i had your job, i'd go nuts" i think everyone is suffering from seasonal depression (because rochester IS hell froze over) and its making them feel that their life is just a tedious dead end road.

NUTS!
I'M GOING NUTS!!!!!

cosby thing

sounds fun :)
i hope bill doesn't seem too old . . . it seems like he should always be the age of heathcliffe hucstable . . .

the blog has stopped!

where did everyone go??
i just ate two lunches - a bagel (someone had a meeting and there was leftovers) and a french bread pizza. yes - i am a fatty. but its ok, because both jess and edgar are working tonight so i can eat whatever i want, whenever i want - which means it can be random and small if i so choose :) i might even hit the gym! although it IS tuesday, so i'll need to be home by 8 . . .

cosby at the apollo with dev

bill cosby standup - we got tickets for it a long time ago...

what cosby thing?

it got sunny out!

too bad i'm indoors.
i think i need a break! i'm going a little nuts . . . i've been staring at a barely moving computer screen for about an hour and a half now . . .

12:30

12:30 showing at the IMAX in lincoln center...

is that too early after a night of drinking on saturday?? :)

its playing!!!

its at a loews in lincoln center...

jules and rupa - want to go sunday??? i need to go in the afternoon (like around 12 or 1) cause i have the cosby thing at night with dev....

oh, the agony!

another day just chilling in front of the computer.
please entertain me! i'm going nuts!!!!

went to see polar express IMAX 3D - SOOO good!
if you guys can find an IMAX 3D theater, you should go see it :) it's probably good just on a regular screen too but . . .

whoa...

1. 4 more days to go...scary...

2. i have things to tell but that i cant write/post on the internet...so megan, ill call you during my break, rupa, julie will tell you tomorrow :)

dinner! anywhere :) i told jackie though not some yuppy fancy place - i want to be able to get drunk and eat good food but also be able to talk to people! we can save the loud dim lit places for the partying after dinner :) thoughts?

i can't wait either

blah.. today like every other day.. never at my desk!!!

well.. julie is coming back tomorrow. yay! today was super boring for me.. but lots of catch up meetings. and i had a really fun meeting with my boss where we mostly talked about the incredibles and what a good price for netflix is (15!)

this week should be fun though.. not too much work and our bir company party is next weekend (yay!) something to look forward to. and nush will be FREE! nush- where do you want to go to dinner?

i think i'm gonna escape work early today.. basically just to work at home, but i need to turn my laptop on for tonight so that they can install this new software that lets me use it with wireless. yay

ok. enough yays.. talk to you all later. happy monday!

my day is totally uneventful

eun's not around. there was a lab meeting - which i thankfully stayed awake for . . .
tonight i hang out with edgar - nothing big planned, make dinner and hang out. i feel kinda blah right now - i think because i don't have anything super pressing to do (but lots of little things to take care of) so i'm just not motivated to be here.
when does julie get back?

i can't wait until december 16th :)

on demand

i love it :)

the best of on demand for me has been just married. i still laugh when i think of some scenes in that movie...

my day has been pretty busy...lots of random emails i never responded to...lots of random stuff to take care of for january investments...

mmmm...

robert.

i think i need to go watch season 6 again too :) how is everyone's first day back going? deshaw is basically empty. i think everyone decided to take an extra day off and come tomorrow.

robert

when watching season 6 again robert did make we want to rekindle my black fetish :) if only i could run into a guy like him in my building.....

oh, smith jared . . .

whatever - in the heat of the moment, any black guy with no visible gold and/or missing teeth would make you scream :)

12

i dont think i could scream and go crazy either...unless smith jared comes out :) (i just watched all of the second half of season 6 over the past week or so....)

sorry . . .

it probably would have been really fun.
in fact, its probably not going to be nearly as much fun with dev 'cause he doesn't seem like he'll be willing to scream like a 12 year old girl when the latest pop star comes out and waves. we could have made posters!

ok, i'm being really lazy today. have to stop being lazy. maybe if i keep repeating that to myself, it will work!

enough sarcasm....

my dad thought he was being cute by getting these for me at some auction...little did he know how difficult it is for me to actually go to it!!!

OH the disappointment!

somehow . . .
somehow i'll make it through . . . .

they arent taping

they arent taping that day....

looks like ill have to do it some random week day - in dec they arent taping on fridays, unless dev and i can go the 16th or something..we shall see :) oh well, it was worth a shot!

too drunk

take it easy on me :)
remember - i'm sober girl these days!
in fact, i was craving a glass of wine yesterday - and we didn't have any around. in fact, the only alcohol we have in the apartment is some random beer - left over from when you guys visited. and a little bit of tequila . . .

oh! i talked to yon yesterday :) he's not mad at me! i think i might fly out there in february for a long weekend. it's sort of a tight schedule - but i looked on priceline and there were flights for $331! plus, after a weekend of all yon, all the time - i'm going to want go home :) i just need to confirm that occasional fridays off are ok with eun . . . plus, i need to go to florida for a couple of days in january to meet edgar's nearest and dearest (a trip we were supposed to take in august but broke up instead)

so confused!!

i think i'm still asleep.. just read all the morning messages.. thinking they were friday. and they aren't! they are today's :)

yay people are here!!

nalgene

maybe not flasks but wine in nalgene bottles? :)

ill call later today to see if that day works...

we def can hit up a museum before 3! or sat, if we are too drunk to wake up in time for a 3 musuem.....

good morning!!

anyone in today? sorry i missed the friday messages :)

i hope everyone had a good turkey day. nush- dinner on saturday sounds fine with me. yay!

TRL

i still want to go to the museum!
but i think we can hit one museum by 3 :)
is there really an age limit??
maybe i can put my hair in little braided pigtails to try to look young . . . i'm guessing mtv wouldn't look kindly on us sneaking in flasks, right?

i decided on getting coffee

just wanted to keep everyone updated on my life :)

ok:)

just to let you know itll take up a good chuck of the day...i think we have to be there at 3 and it goes till 6 or so, if i remember correctly...

just want to make sure before i call them :)

the age limit is 25 :)

i'm here!

and will be all day :)
eun's doing the MD thing today - so i don't think i'll see her (possibly at all this week . . .)

sorry i didn't call back - i listened to the message late and completely spaced on it the next day. TRL sounds fun :) maybe it will be someone i actually . . . know. (i was going to say like or care about . . . but that seems a little too wishful thinking :) are we allowed in the studio? they don't have an age limit that we exceed??? i haven't actually watched TRL . . . in years!

you must be so excited to be in the home stretch :) by this time next week, you'll be a (temporarily) free woman!!!!

ok, time to plot out what i'm going to do today. or go get coffee . . .

i hope im not alone again today!!!

megan and rupa, will you entertain me???

i survived the weekend. quite happily infact. it was nice to be by myself. i could have gone out with ameya on sat and random people last night but i decided that after all the studying all i wanted to do was go home and crawl in bed watch a movie then study more and go to sleep...it was very productive. i saw eternal sunshine (i liked it, mom fell asleep, dad pretended to like it but i think he just liked being with me), ice age (which i didnt like, finding nemo is soooo much better, how was the other fish movie?? did anyone see it?), just married (soooo funny! its on demand so i saw it...) thats it :)

megan - i left you a message - i wanted to ask, on that friday, do you want to go to TRL?? i have tickets that can be used any day and ive been sitting on them cause 1 i have no one to go with and 2 i have to leave work early to go so i havent made time...want to go then?? if not i may go with dev before new years....let me know soon cause i have to call and "redeem" them or something for us to go...

thats all from my end :) 5 more days!!!

rups/julie - you guys are around next sat right??? do you want to have dinner after my test? around 7 or so???
