Ah... finals time, once again. And once again, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.
On a brighter note, I'm clearly finding sufficient means to stay awake... I went to Starbucks just now for a drink to keep me going throughout the night. After I ordered, the barista actually asked me, "Oh, do you work at Starbucks or something?" Apparently, I have honed my drink order to EXACTLY what I want, to the point that even the Sbux employees are doubting my civilian stature. Caramel Machiatto. Grande. Not extra hot, but iced. An extra shot of espresso. Skim milk. Extra Caramel. All in all, a triple iced grande skim extra caramel caramel machiatto. I guess this sort of description for a delightful coffee beverage is not what Starbucks was seeking when it went on its bizarre ad campaign to try to adapt the english language to fit perfectly within its tall-grande-venti methodology. Maybe you're only allowed to use one term at a time. This time, I'll take it "with room." Next time, it'll be "half caf." And maybe in a few weeks, I'll graduate to "wet."
Yes, I'm serious.

Lynn's leaving New York this week, and just typing this makes me want to cry.
She's amazing and we love her and if she THINKS that she's not going to come back and visit us in NYC AS MUCH if not MORE than she visited Cali in the past year, she's severely mistaken.
That being said, we've been trying to make this last weekend great. It started with Joe's Pub on Friday night, where she could break out her SCANDALYNN self (and yes, she did). But then on Saturday, GotSoulNY had a performance at Coral Room... it was her goodbye party, her farewell performance... so so so sad. We all, for some reason, got absurdly nervous and emotional before the performance... And then we wiled out afterwards.
I feel as though this is the beginning of a crazy phenomenon... the gradual exodus from NYC. WHAT IS GOING ON PEOPLE??!?! First Lynn... Angie's out of here soon. Leslie is gonna be heading somewhere for grad school, Palak's going somewhere for law school, etc... One by one, my core in NYC is dissipating. STOP LEAVING, STAY HERE, DON'T GO!
boo.

So I was walking through campus when my phone starts to ring. I answer. "Hello, Amit? Amit, is that you? Amit do you know who this is? Amit?" The caller was speaking in what seemed to be a manner mocking a South Asian accent, it was so deliberate and bad. "Who is this?" I ask. "Amit, do you know who this is? Amit, can you guess?" Figuring it was a friend just trying to fuck with me and not really in the mood to have any of this, I say, "Yo, whoever this is, cut with the accent bullshit, who is this?" "Amit, this is ----." Basically, it ended up being a friend of mine from law school who HAPPENS to ACTUALLY HAVE an accent. Whoops.
