Me

My photo
Boston, Massachussetts, United States
I'm not limited to the blank canvas I was born as. My life is an eclectic melange of vivid colour. I float in a sea of multifarious musings, ranging from worlds of lime green skies and copper stars to winged objects and fairy dust. I am the flirtatiousness of cherry chap-stick, the depths of the cerulean ocean and the violet skies of Monet. I am the brooding dark green of dense foliage, the crimson tint in a blushing girl’s cheeks; the purple of bruised limbs. The complexity of my thoughts keeps evolving, I grow and shrink alternately. I cannot be contained or restrained. The French language is my drug and acne is my worst enemy. I laugh a little too much and am a romantic in the extreme sense. I’m likely to steal the stars from the sky, but my aims remain grounded in reality. I can’t be pigeonholed into a single stereotype, because all labels apply to me at different points in time.

One By One

It's so effing DIFFICULT to just do things one by one. I landed in Boston just yesterday, and I already have a daunting to-do list towering over my little head. 

I still have to finish buying all my books. I ordered some off Amazon but I have to go to the bookstore in the freezing snow to pre-order a special package for Greek Civ. which was designed for BU so I can't get it anywhere else. I already have a 30-page article to read and annotate for WR150 tomorrow as well as a test for COM201. Already! 

Plus, I'm seriously running short of money over here :/ I spent nearly $300 on books, and that too when I bought used ones (cheaper) instead of new. And ordered from Amazon (also cheaper.) I need money to buy groceries and munchies as well as to go out with friends and do laundry, so this money situation is basically making my life impossible. My phone wasn't working when I got back because I didn't pay my bills before I left,  and Sprint charged me this insane late fee so the rest of my money went there.

I've unpacked, but not done so very neatly. Therefore, I have to reorganize my drawers and buy some hangers so that my cupboard is all neat again. I also have to organize my shoes because they're kind of all over the place (which disturbs me) Let's not even TALK about vacuuming my room because I have to do that to. And recycle my trash. Oh and go to work.
En plus, I have to go to the International Scholars office or whatever and check myself in and be all OHAI IM ALIVE AND BACK! And I have to pick up my paycheck.
I'm so damn tired from the jet lag. Don't know what to do with myself when I wake up at 4 AM wondering why I'm not with Chumbles or eating strawberries with Sanj. 
Everything I do here is timed. My showers take exactly nineteen minutes and my Skype dates exactly forty. I try to finish pieces of homework within certain time limits, too.

Oh, how I crave Mumbai and the joblessness I enjoyed there.
