Here I Am

The day started with me waking up late (of course), a mad rush to office, just managing my breakfast shake of milk, strawberry yoghurt and banana and a wild drive on snow filled road. Three hours of work later a heated up lunch of Chicken Pad Thai. Another 5 hours of rigors and then a drive back home. No not home tonight so soon, I had to go to the Fedex counter to drop off a bunch of MS program applications for my colleagues.
Well this is where the twist in the tale comes in. 3 of my colleagues S, K and R are applying for their MS programs at schools spread all across the nation and they had sent over their applications to be posted out here- saves some dough!! Now the beauty of the fact is that K and R are engaged and their scores don’t exactly tally, so with their individual scores they would apply to 6 schools each but since they wanna stay close they applied to a union of theirs (11 per head). S had seven of those herself.


So as you can understand 29 applications mean 29 addressee forms to fill up, putting them in 29 envelopes and keeping track of the fact that the application of GIT does not end up being mailed to NCSU. Piece of cake indeed!! Did that paid the bill, a total of nearly five hundred dollars, and finally returned home two and a half hours later (Famished to the core, cold and tired).

A bad experience but the hope still lingers on. Next year this time or maybe a bit later I will probably be sending out applications myself, or will ask somebody else to send them on my behalf. Maybe K/R/S will send em on my behalf.. Life might (will) come a full circle....

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true
