I thought I liked the rain…but two days nonstop rain…is not really fun. I couldn’t go running…I tried to for the first day…but I didn’t want to be sick especially on my final week. I was tired this weekend at work…just staring at the rain…

moments are lost....
I just checked my grade for this major paper I had to write. We had so much time to do it …but if you know me well…I waited till’ the last minute to even think about it. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So I knew the grades were posted today and I hesitantly checked it so maybe it’ll give me some time to beg my professor for a rewrite. But guess what everyone!! I got a high B! Yea! It was a tough paper overall and I just can’t believe with how much time I dedicated to it…I got a solid B!
So its showing up…doing something…the half the glory?
My karate class finished…and I miss all my girls from that class! Having a great group to laugh throughout the semester…was so much fun!!! We helped each other out and provided encouragement…which I needed badly!! I miss them!
running....
I am so tired…………………and barely could walk…
I started running around the neighborhood for the past few nights. I got a great deal on a MP3 player few weeks ago and finally got some music on it so I have been using that as a distraction when I run. Especially when I am listening to Tamil music…I am so engrossed in what the meaning of the song is…that I completely get lost in it. I want to figure out every sentence of some of my Tamil songs..! There is really no chance of this with my Korean songs…
The first night I ran for 1 hour. That night I didn’t bring my cell phone with me so my dad called and left a message asking me which block I was on…while my mom told my sister “I am not concerned about Tharsi…since she took self-defense (ohh isn’t my mom cute…and the confidence she has in me.!!!)..So since that night I have my MP3 in my pocket and my cell phone in my hands! What a way to run! I am hooked on technology!
Yea to running!
Here is the song I been listening to the most...the movie was okay..the first half was good.

*Remember that*!
Today the group that I went to New York City with got together for the last time. We all had to make some kind of artistic project that reflected a focus about our trip! It was definitely fun to get together, share jokes, and bizarre stories that happened on the trip. Few of the smaller groups have their own little inside jokes that only they could laugh at. My small group consists of 3 other people and we sure do have our own…”REMEMBER THAT..*wink*”…look.
A Friday was our last full day in NYC before we had to catch our flight on Saturday afternoon! So 4 of us knew this was our last night and needed to let loose. That Friday my friend and I took the taxi to Chinatown and one of our friends called to tells us we should go to a club later that night! I barely go to clubs in Minnesota but what’s a NYC trip without clubbing.
The four of us managed to meet at our hotel at 11:30 p.m. after we did our final shopping and whatnot. We got to the streets (city that never sleeps…so imagine the streets…I mean full of activity…as it was noon). Unfortunately we took the taxi from our hotel without thinking about what we were wearing. Of the group…my friend and I were the most dressed up…(I had heels on which became unbearable at about 4:30 A.M. )so we could get into any clubs but our two guy friends had old tennis shoes on…so there was no way to get into the “dress code” clubs.
We weren’t shy…and we stopped and asked other club goers…streets full of them…where we could go clubbing. Some laughed at us about our tennis shoes but most were really nice about letting us know where to go.
After a few taxi rides we finally got in line at this club… For some reason…some scary, big, did I say scary looking guy found out we were from Minnesota. So the entire time we were waiting in line this guy just kept making fun of Minnesotans and I kept telling my friends…let’s go somewhere else…I don’t feel like getting in any kind of trouble… with this SCARY guy.
But nope…Minnesotans don’t give up…do we now…so I hesitantly paid $25 at the door and went in.
The club was amazing, fun people, wild people, and loud people!!! There were about four floors, each had their own themes!
IT WAS THE BEST TIME I HAD! We had a mutual understanding that all four of us were going to stick together. I think we danced like we had something to prove…that people were copying what we were doing! We were jumping around in our little circle…with our hands up… for 10 minutes and before I knew it the whole room was doing what we were doing!
We knew that we needed to leave NYC in less than a day so we wanted to get everything out of that city…and in someway we were using the dance floor to let go and take it all in at the same time. We needed to go back to our everyday lives…and NYC will eventually become a dream…this moment will become a dream.
We didn’t get back to the hotel till’ 5:30 A.M. (my feet were numb from all the dancing…) and at 8:00 A.M. needed to turn the keys in for our hotel room. What a night/Morning!!!
We did a lot of “REMEMBER THAT ” looks today…and I am glad I have this memory/experience with only three others.
The best things are unplanned.

My Name is Kim Sam Soon!
The past few weeks I been crazy about this Korean Drama...MY NAME IS KIM SAM SOON! It is just a fabulous, funny, little drama!
Synopsis
"Kim Sam Soon (SS) is a 29 years old, fat, pastry chef, who has just lost her job and her boyfriend on Christmas Eve. She has all the insecurities of a woman grazing 30. With yet another failed relationship, SS scrambles desperately to rebuild her career and her love life.
SS manages to find a job at "Bon Appetite" restaurant when she gets acquainted with the owner of the restaurant, Hyun Jin Heon (JH). JH is young, handsome but aloof and cold.
JH is the only son of a hotel chain owner. Although born with a silver spoon, fate had dealt JH with a hard hand. Three years ago, a fatal car accident, where JH was the driver, resulted in the death of his elder brother and sister-in-law; and at the very same time his girlfriend of 5 years left him for her studies in the US. JH had to endure both physical and mental pain to overcome his problems and rebuild his life. The death defying experience left JH scarred as he stops believing in love and happiness.
Due to a moment of convenience, both SS and JH ended up signing a dating contract, where SS will receive KRW 50 mio (which she needed to redeem her family house) and in turn she will pretend to be JH's girlfriend to fend off his mother's endless efforts to get him match made and married.
When JH's ex-girlfriend returns to seek reconciliation; SS realizes that she has fallen for JH, and their contractual relationship gets complicated."

etsy!
I am getting so obsessed with this site! Etsy-Your place to buy & sell all things handmade. What creativity! Fascinating/cute little things that I just can’t believe people are making! I could be on the site for hours…which I am pretty sure my summer vacation will consist of! I signed up for my own store online. The name of the store Tharsica …well, I like my name…what can you say!
I am hoping to learn a few little things this summer when I’ll have more time and then put it up. There has to be something in this head or rather my heart/soul…that will make something beautiful!

little thoughts..for this huge world...
Isn't life just wonderful!
So it looks like I am faced with some changes...Actually a lot of changes for the rest of the year!
I always wanted changes...And I guess it has come.
But when I think about it...I wonder if I fully appreciated just my "boring, predictable, cozy, life
that thankfully I came to everyday!
Had to give a presentation in my class the other day. I was a little nervous when I got up in front that I didn't
tell all the things I wanted to about the topic I was covering. Just when I was getting comfortable
in front of the class...I realized I was on the last slide on my PowerPoint...and heard the applause from my classmates!
I wanted to restart and give the best presentation...the one that I prepared..
but I guess things don't work like that...do they?
You get your chance..sometimes just once...and you better make the best of it...
Can't restart?
waiting for the next opportunity... I guess...
