A Post on India is Due....

But you're getting a post on today instead.

I wake up and realize, woah, today's my last legit day at home. I go downstairs, and mom tells me to pack, so I go watch Friends Season 4. The last episode is epic, cause we get House as a special guest, with his British accent, and he acts just the way House is supposed to act. Anyway, around 3, I realize I have an hour to start and finish packing >_>

An hour later, I've somehow pulled everything together in time, and also managed to figure out the combination to my old gym lock (dont ask >_>)

We leave for Union station and get there in good time. We kill an hour eating at the Food court, and then I go board my train. Amtrak is pretty pro, they have lots of leg room, lots of empty seats, power outlets, and I need to check if they have wifi. Anyway, I chose two empty seats and plop down. So there's this Indian guy with family sitting across from me. He's got some kind of asian wife (she might actually be one of the more yellow Indians from the northeastern states) , and he's from Anchorage, Alaska. Due to some misunderstanding early in the conversation, he came to know me as Ram the Gujurati, and I was too embarassed to correct this impression. He talked to me for a while about random things, then I read stuff, and 2.5 hours later, I got off at Princeton Junction. I got picked up and taken to the house of friends. We ate, played ping pong for two hours, browsed random movies, and now I will be going to sleep.

(For the record, this is part of my plan to update regularly (perhaps with not as content filled posts) because I actually won't be seeing you guys daily anymore. You all should do the same >_>)

The Cake is a Lie.....

and so was my promise to update on my trip. In the interim, something I found amusing:

The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer, just send them the following:

To Whom It May Concern:
Thank you for your letter of [date of the rejection letter]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment at this time. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite [Name of the Company]'s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm immediately. I look forward to working with you. Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
