HOLLER FROM DUKE!!!!!

HELLOOOOO EVERYONE!!!!! i know i was supposed to post a LONG LONG LONG time ago! but i keep procrastinating! and then my work keeps piliing up and i don't have any time to do anything.. I really should be studying for my spanish test.. and doing my reading.. but since WEBO! is blackmailing me, i'll have to do something!

So anyway! I'm going strong in duke! its getting a bit chilly now, i mean, the sun still shines and if you stand in it for long enough you'll get burnt. but then there are these exceptionally cold winds that keep blowing, so you really need a sweater. people here think i'm nuts that i'm wearing two layers cos most of them don't even wear jeans! AHH! shorts in this cold?! i think they're the nutty ones! But the campus looks absolutely beautiful! i posted a few pictures of it on facebook, but i haven't really got to getting better ones. FALL IS COMMMIINNGGG!!! and soon everything will be nice and orange! its just starting now, i mean you can actually see the tips of the leaves browning.. but theres still quite some time.

Hmm.. classes are killing me!! im taking 4.5 credits this term -- 1. Islam, human rights and terrorism, 2. Genocide and human rights, 3. Environmental Impact writing (its a writing course that compulsory for first year, you get to choose which topic though! so i'm studying how we can all save the environment!! =), i love the fact that duke is SO GREEN! recycling is HUGE here! but then when you go for a shower, you see the shower on the WHOLE time, i tell you! the americans are nuts!) and lastly, spanish1 which is so difficult because its so close to french that i just CANNOT make the switch! ROAR! all my classes are small, ie 16 people or less, so you really can't afford to miss classes or not do your homework cos thats just plain obvious since its mostly discussion based. I'm feeling pretty stupid... people here are so smart, everyone has deep profound things to say and i find myself thinking of the superficial. Oh well, i know you guys are curious about the first two classes, and trust me, they ARE! let me get into the rhythm of blogging then i'll explain more! =)

Other than classes, i'm part of the ULTIMATE FRISSBEE TEAMMM!!!! YAY!!! AND I JUST GOT NEW CLEATS!! which cost me a bomb, but i still love them so! I love frisbee too! plus its a club team, so not that intensive!! =) and i'm an analyst for the investment club, on the executive board for the Hindu Students Association, on the publicity committee for the South Asian Students association. member of the leadership roundtable (which is basically a team that discusses leadership with distinguished faculty members and other national leaders) hmmm.. i thinnk thats it for now.. although i'm also looking for a job! i'm seriously stretching myself, but i decided that i'm here to make full use of all the opportunities that are available, so i'm going to pull out all the stops here!! =)

alright, thats it for now! i'll update more! I PROMISE!
missing you guys like HELL! i see you're all having loads of fun WITHOUT ME! bLEAH! but nevermind,
I STILL LOVE YOU ALL!!!
