Memories Galore !

"Log chale jathe hain, aur yadein chod jathe hain!"

I was going thru my stuff today. Will be done living here soon. I cannot afford to keep all the stuff I have. So started disposing off as much as possible. Got rid of most of my stuff. Still more to go. Saw how wasteful i was. So much stuff I spent on, and never used it. Hundreds of dollars. Books, cosmetics, clothes.

And then it started. It was easy disposing off stuff I bought, but going thru gifts was difficult. Every fond memory came back. I have gotten so many gifts over the years, I am very grateful for them, for the thought behind them. The barbies, all six of them bring back fond memories when my life was simpler. Read thru R's cards, letters and was reminded of all the good times we had. She is my best friend and I dont want to and will not find a replacement. My first birthday here she sent me so many cards. I want to reach out to my other friends from undergrad. But right now I feel very ashamed of myself. I want to atleast find a job before I call them.

I am meeting Dr.M tomorrow. I finished writing the paper and correcting my thesis. I am sure I will have to make a lot of changes. I will find the paper full of red marks. I just hope he doesnt think the paper was a complete failure. I hope he gives me the letter for my OPT.
