I’m Slow at Walking

This morning I woke up and it was cold out. I sleep next to an open window, and the breeze sent shivers down my side.

The way to work involves a lot of walking through a residential neighborhood in Cambridge. I've noticed that everybody walks faster than I do. It's a strange phenomenon, but for whatever reason, all the other suits and dress shirts pass me constantly. I've always thought my parents walk pretty slowly, and drive pretty slowly for that matter.

Spring Break is Over

Hello Internet!

Today was the last day of Spring Break 2010. What an adventure it was! I hate typing long sentences that lead to nowhere. Internet blogs are generally boring.

These are the notes:

• I got an MRI for my knee from an orthopedic specialist. Possible tear in meniscus (since nearly two years ago)? You betcha! Wait, still no diagnosis? Waiting on phone call from Indian doc whose name has escaped me. Leg still hurts. I need it to stop.
• I made a lot of food: dumplings, stir fry, cheesecake, birthday cake. My mom went to the doctors and as it turns out her hand needs to be in a cast for another two weeks (owing to a torn ligament in hand from self-injury: her reaction from a semi backing up towards her was to quickly jam her hand against the steering wheel)
• Went to see a dance competition (Nachle Express). Got to see familiar faces and my friend Hemal's team UIUC Fizaa win.
• Heard about my choir group conductor's daughter being involved in a horrible accident (which really still is in my mind).

This upcoming week is show week for SASA, and first week of spring quarter -- hurray!
