So this is the story

me, A and ray decided we will take a room at the campus for our exam week and as its quite expensive we'll take on room for all three of us. it was a bright idea but now its sort of fizzled out, in terms of studying! right now while studying for their culture assignment A is doing the dharmendra dance, ray is saying she has a.d.d. and laughing hilariously while making stupid jokes, like asking if cows have snouts! when u r running on as little sleep and just as much adrenalin and coffee as i am everything is funny! right now A is trying to color my scalp with her pen while at the same time declaring that my skull is slimy and drawing a black line on my neck in the process! this morning ray managed to fall of the bed (she was sitting in the middle of it) on to the floor and land on her neck and say that her ass hurts!! and then contemplated whether she had some internal bleeding! how she managed to do that dont ask!! now A is doing the mithun dance with sound effects and their exam is in less than two hours. and for the grand finale ray is singing:
the cow in me needs to eat,
the grass on the floor thts not a wild boar
lalalalala
yesterday ray went beserk when A mistakenly circled a word on her finance text book, thinking it was hers as ray thinks nothing should ever be written on books! she also went berserk when i tore the plastic off her econ book! correct me if im wrong but arent those things supposed to be done to text books! by those things i mean should they be used!!

anyway back to the madhouse!! hehe

3 down the drain one more to go...

so economics, service operations and finance are done; im desparetely hoping i wont flunk finance otherwise i might be out of the job or atleast face alot of embarrasement!:(
HR tomorrow and then im free as a bird!!! karachi here i come!!!! :):)

Croissants and coffee...yummmmmmmm!!

so today is the last day im staying on campus, i feel like im almost human again. its amazing how not travelling to sharjah can recharge you even though ive been waking up pretty early these last two days.
today ray came over with with breakfast, yummy croissants and doughnuts and coffee, ahhhh a lovely way to start the day, then a came and we wasted an hour chatting! i love wasting time with my two best girls!! and we always seem to do it whenever we are together, now matter if we have an assignement or test in an hour.
so i now have 7 days more to go, then im off for a year! no school, yayyyy! i know ill miss it, but its not the classes ill miss, but my time with my friends. i dont mind work, i rather like it and the office is quite comfortable in all aspects (we have butlers for for gods' sakes!!) so it wont be too bad, just very late nights and very early mornings.
i have class in an hour, so ill go get ready and continue my endless grumbles when im really pissed off...

I feel like the dog...

who has run across the world twice... in succession!!
i feel really cranky, just handed in an assignment, havent slept, havent eaten breakfast or lunch, cant even type properly and have a bloody meeting in a few minutes about something no one gives two shits about! then i complete the assignment due tomorrow meaning i bullshit about 400 words to reach the word limit, then... were u thinking sleep?? coz i was saying start the finance assignement and do a chapter for the test tomorrow.
i am so totally exhausted, today i wanted to be early, so to reach college at eight we started off at 6:30 which means i woke up at 5:30, then the bloody roads were seriously messed up and so we got royally fucked! at 7 there was an accident on garhoud, on the 2nd interchange at skh zayed road and the highway was clogged so we backed up to burjuman and went from there via dhiyafah and beach road. so instead of 8 i reached college at 9.
so back to work now..

10 days and counting...

two years have passed, only 10 more days to go and then i will finish. these ten days, though a really short time, seem like ten bloody years!! there is so much going on, such a lot of work is left to submit that i will be dead by the time the 21st rolls in.
today i have my last deans list ceremony, my last as i know i will not be on there the next time which my recent results demonstrate. then tomorrow, the economics project will be submitted and we will complete the service operations project. then finance, service operations presentation, weekend, come 18th i will be sitting for two exams within an hour of each other.
oh joy!! :(
as far as good news goes, i *think* i have a job. the reason i say think is that although i know it exists, i still have to see any official proof, i dont know when i will be starting exactly, how much will i be paid nor when or where my housing is being arranged. i am going out of my mind as these uncertaininties are the most important ones. the only comfort i have is that its a permanent position and not a management traineeship, so they cant toss my ass out after a year. and as i interned there last summer, i have a very good idea of what i am getting myself into. late nights, galore! but thts what i get for choosing corporate finance as a startup stream.
bas das din aur and then i go to karachi for eid, meet ghazal after eons, and generally have a lazy time, filled with food (sunshine ki kulfi, falooda, kabab paratha rolls, as well as kababs and parathas at bundu khan, and the icing on top of the cake would be mava puffs, chum chum from bhashani, if it still exists, and akhroot ka halwa from rehmat-e-shereen and a visit to espresso, i wanna see what all the fuss is about). aahhhhh food, good desi food!
good so back to stupid TQM.

HELP!!!
if anyone knows anyplace where i might get some facts on the application of tqm and the subsequent improvement, in marriott hotels corp. and boeing, please tell me. i cant find a single thing and they are supposed to be the best at tqm (total quality management)

my current mood


This is another one

"Wrap My Words Around You"
Daniel Beddingfield
Is it fair to write a song to a woman?
Is it fair play to try and win her heart?
Is it right to bring her sonnets
In the morning time?
To express the first few
Longings when they start
To express the first few
Longings when they start
Is it right to let her feelingsRise to catch you?
Is it OK when her heart begins to fall?
Would you blame me if I
Wrap my words around you girl?
Would I wrong you
To say anything at all?
Would I wrong you
To say anything at all?
But if I wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
If I wrap my words around you
Would you stay
Would you stay, would you?
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
If I wrap my words around you
Would you stay
Would it play with your heart?
Am I a hunter if
I send poems to please you?
Am I a cad if
I mean everything I say?
Should I even let you know
This song's about you girl
Just because I want to see you smile today
And my words may bind you
To me much too tightly
You may choke on them if we fall apart
It's not fair to write a song to a woman
Because a woman takes a song into her heart
Because a woman takes a song into her heart
So let me wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Till you stay, till you stay, let me
Wrap my words around you
Wrap my words around you
Darling, wrap my words around you
Till you stay
Would it play with your heart
Where are these people?? is someone like this around me? somewhere? anywhere? maybe..
but the question of the hour is will i stay if someone appears or will i run away?
i think i will opt for the latter, so should i wish for it still or give it up as a lost cause...

17 days to go to graduation

its absolutely amazing tht ive got just 17 days till i finish college; its more unbelievable than anything else!
the best, most care-free days of my life are nearly over and all i can think is now that im finally finishing, will i miss it? will these days hold value for me, in a nostalgic sense? will i look back at them fondly or with regrets? will i relive them ever again?
will i be the same when i go back to school in a year? maybe...maybe not.
why doesnt blogger have spellcheck? dont they know we've forgotten how to spell simple words like can (i write it cna constantly)??
well there had to be a rant in there somewhere!! :P
