I baked some more but mostly this is about nothing

I made samosas today, baked not fried for my rather health conscious family. I wanted to use my camera, but by the time I brought it, most of them were gone already... sigh. My dad's iPhone photo will have to do.


 They were delicious, I'm not even going to joke around. And now I've been put on dinner duty for the remainder of the summer. No worries, you just throw some cumin and curry powder in everything and it's automatically Indian.

 I'm lying, don't actually think that. There's also turmeric and coriander in everything.

 I have to get fillings tomorrow alkdhasklhdslakhd I hate the dentist okay.

 I don't really have anything to write about. I miss Duke.

 The last three or four days of mine have been spent just watching Bollywood. It's actually really bad... they're like three hours each and I watched three back to back to back. Ah well. But I finally watched a movie called Barfi! which my mother continually told me was super boring but was actually an absolute delight to watch and I actually almost cried once. Sigh, my mom thinks everything is boring. It's definitely worth a watch. Especially if you don't speak Hindi, the movie follows a deaf and mute guy and so there actually isn't a lot of speech. It's a lot of Charlie Chaplin type of comedy with romance and friendship and a very soothing sort of musical score. A trailer for if you're interested(:

I really like being home but I always feel like I'm doing nothing. That driver's test will happen soon. I really cannot put it off any longer.

My First Party and More

Here's one of those posts that actually has to do with the original theme of my blog. Last night, I went to my very first college party! If you know me, you'll know that obviously I didn't drink at all and stayed completely sober. There's quite a lot that I have to say about this specific topic of drinking and partying so lemme get started at point A. The party was okay. Dancing with friends was fun, of course, but the party itself was just okay. This is the first time I've ever been to a party at all with drunk people. It was just really strange for me knowing that some of my friends and the people around me weren't completely, 100% themselves. Just the fact that they weren't perceiving reality in the way that I was made me feel... I can't think of the right word. But you know what I mean? One of the guys that I'm kind of, sort of friends with was pretty drunk and he asked me how I could be enjoying myself at the party while being sober. I couldn

See You Again

Not even going to pretend like I too busy to write for four months; I really just started watching too much television... So welcome to summer y'all, hope it's going really well for you so far. I've honestly been putting off writing about graduation and things ending because I know I'm going to get nostalgic and cry if I think about it too much. I didn't really say a true goodbye to anyone because it doesn't feel like this is the last time we will see each other. This country is big, for sure, but we find ways to get around to see the people we care about. Plus, technology is so developed now that you can always feel connected to your friends in some way or another. When I graduated as a senior in high school, I cried whenever I heard "Friends Forever" by Vitamin C. The difference between then and now is that I really think I'll be staying connected with people in college, whereas most of my high school friends have lost touch. College is whe

Some words on team-based learning

Image
So, one of my classes last semester and three of my classes this semester decided to use, in some way, shape or form, a new-ish way of teaching known as team based learning. For anyone who doesn't know what that is yet, you pretty much get assigned or choose a team of people in your class and complete many activities as a team, including some quizzes and problems and what not. Every so often you have a quiz first that tests your own preparedness for the class and then take the same quiz again but now with your team or group. Then you do other stuff with your team and write up a contract on who does what and what rules you're going to abide by. This, friends, is why the only class I will thoroughly enjoy this semester is Chinese 102, because it is the only class in which none of this nonsense happens. Okay, I exaggerate, I don't actually think it's nonsense. Working in groups is actually a helpful tool in trying to solve problems and help each other to learn and tea
