Radha Krishna
"Of course, he would know, he knew me better than I knew myself. His arm came around and pulled me close to his body, his heat seeped through the back of my shirt warming me to my core. I’m not sure when, but I eventually fell asleep in his familiar embrace, finally at peace, at least for a little while." -COTS

the rest can come later
It sucks when you realize that something you thought was over and done with is still lingering. You find that a tiny instant can trigger a memory and you're suddenly back to square one, extremely irritated.
I am happy here, I know I keep saying that but it's nice for a change, I walk down the street some days listening to my ipod and I'm just filled with such glee. I love my reporting class, my friends are cool people, the city holds so much potential for each and every day and yet I think Rosie is right. I allow myself to get caught up in the drama and the ridiculous details and they bring me down. I get wrapped up in what other people think and it crushes my good mood.
I am doing all that I can and hopefully I will bump into what I'm looking for one of these days but it's not about the people, it's about me and what my mind craves. Sure it would be nice to meet the right person and know that you're going to spend the rest of your life with them. I am a big romantic when it comes down to it all and I'm not into the random dating and the shit in between. I am into forever. I'm amused by the small stuff and at my age it's fun because I don't want a relationship now. But Rosie has a point, so I'm going to be more careful from now on.
I'm searching for my mental passion. The rest can come later.

Wishing It Would All Make Sense
I'm frustrated. With myself, with others assuming things about me, and with just not knowing where I'm headed. The city has pulled me in and while I haven't fallen in love I am enjoying the fling of it all.
On the academic front I'm really enjoying my International Reporting class. I feel like I'm not even taking any other classes because I always seem to be doing work for just that one.
On friday I went to Jackson Heights (Little India) to interview people about Slumdog Millionaire I ended up meeting some interesting people, and I left with great eyebrows and a full stomach. The threading was painful but the food was good and I brought home some Gulab Jamun which kept me satisfied over the weekend.
I also went and saw Rachel Getting Married on Saturday with my friend Chris. We both thought it was good but we weren't sure if we really liked it, I'm still not sure but I did enjoy watching it.
Sunday I hung out with my friend Jennifer. We ate thai food, not nearly as good as Rosies, walked around 5th Ave and then ate cake at Buttercup. It was a very fun girly day.
It snowed today and class was canceled, which was nice. The free time gave me a chance to do laundry and relax. I was kind of bummed out though because Mondays is the day I have reporting and now I'm going to be slightly lost when it comes time to do this weeks assignment. We're studying magazine writing this week which is interesting. One of the pieces we had to read was from The New Yorker. It is titled Betrayed by George Packer. Here's the link if you're interested:

My mom comes to visit next week and then it's Spring Break. I can't believe how fast time is flying by.

Topsy Turvy Tuesday
I saw Lewis Black at the Y tonight. He was very funny and entertaining but of course.
It snowed today and as I walked to the subway from work, trying to avoid the fat flakes coming down, a taxi drove by, hit a puddle, and splashed the entire front of me. My mentor also informed me that she is leaving at the end of the month so I shall be following the orders of someone new shortly. Maisha is coming to visit this weekend and I'm totally stoked about it. I haven't seen her since May! Then next weekend Yuting is coming and we are going up to bard together! It's going to be so great. The city is growing on me.
