i'm sorry about the cat :(

i think pets can become very important parts of a family and its very sad when they die. i'm dreading the day when i get a phone call from my mom telling me star or my cat passed away . . . i understand how you feel :(

its fun that you have something to look forward to (i think? recruiting at MIT sounds fun to me, but maybe its actually not . . . do you get to go around and get the toys are the fair like the students do? you still look young enough to be a student :) )

nush - you can just use satyan as a reward for studying, kind of like doritios :) just schedule an hour of studying time a night before he comes over and promise yourself that you can stop studying as soon as he gets there :) i don't know who lives in 333 :) we lived in 339, 350 was the julie's and ekta (who sent me a bday card by the way) and 375 was juancho and luis . . . so, 333 would have been like betty or jojo's room in that suite by the elevator . . .
