WE HAD FIRST OUR SNOW TODAY!!!

a proper snow as in, one that stuck to the ground and could be picked up and thrown around.. and since it is tradition, a Dartmouth tradition, that on the night of the first snow fall everybody comes on the Green and there is a humongous snow ball fight, so obviously people poured in.. 

Me was coming back from Collis where I had gone to meet a few people (wont call em friends since I dont really like them that much but that is besides the point), after i had spent the whole day in Sanborn reading and listening to Mangal Panday for the umpteenth time. I was reading about the rise of Hindu nationalism against the missionary activity in the British Raj and trying to make some sort of connection with it and the people involved.. couldnt really figure one out and so came back to my favorite back up.. calling gucci apa (my cousin for those who dont know) who proceeded to first disagree with my idea and then gave me another way to look at it which i will do tommorow since it is like 3 am here.. but it should be fun.. i like history.. it is nice..much more fun to write a paper about than philosophy but sometimes i think i should take a risk and tackle something that i havent thought about before. but right now i think  i would play it safe..

Anyhoo, coming back from Collis (the only place on campus with good hot chocolate plus the freshest baked goodies are available at midnight, so it is an obvious choice for snacking) and was about to go back and do some more reading (bio this time), when i saw the number of people on the Green and so i told gucci apa to stop giving me her ideas and proceeded to the Green where we had a HUGE snow ball fight.. crazy amount of fun.. with friends and everything.. we then sled down the Dartmouth hill, it is actually like a bump in the ground but who cares really, we call it a hill and that is that... then i dropped a friend of mine back to her place which is like the end of campus and then came back to my room.. and now WARM CLOTHES feel so GOOD!!

ok so when i came back, David asked me if i could play the song that i play all the time.. and guess which song is it??  its Desi Girl.. he seems to love it since i play it every morning when i get ready and according to him it helps him wake up.. 

oo i sorta figured out where i am going wrong in my writing class.. ok so i was cleaning my room today.. yea sort of a rare occassion.. anyhow i saw that i had like 10 drafts of the Gospel paper, TEN!!!, that is insane but I got a B- on that paper which is a really good grade for this class.. so it seems that this is what this class needs.. a crazy amount of work.. unfortunately my Nietzsche paper has been submitted and i dint work that much on it and i think it shows.., lets see how it comes back.. but that is it.. i need to work hard.. thrash the bajeezes out of every paper before i submit it.. o and my TA called me lazy on the Nietzsche paper, according to her i have good ideas, i am just too lazy to write them down.. and i said well i spent 4 hours on a one page paper to which she responded. "um well you should spend more, that is too less" to which i said, " dude, there are like 24 hours in a day." to which she dint respond.. i forgot that happened... 

Anyways.. Nikhil blitzed me today ( I refuse to explain what a blitz is), he dint get the Rhodes Scholarship, this other girl from Dartmouth got it.. and he said that he is going to screen Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham tommorow.. So excited.. so so so excited.. I dont care what anyone says, it is possible for that movie to define who i am and it does, it completely does.. 

o and the next Secretary of Treasury is a Dartmouth grad.. just like the last one who unfortunately is considered responsible for the mess the economy is in today..just thought you guys would like to know.. 

Cheers,
