Because I am too lazy to do a real post

I had a lot of ideas for posts in the past few days, but I never got around to writing any of it. It is just that things get so busy and it is hard to find time for blog upkeep. Anyway, this was not one of my original post ideas, but Thursdays Child tagged me for this and I decided to do it today.

What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was preparing for an entrance exam that would get me into engineering school. I eventually cleared it and made it there. There as in the particular school I wanted to be. Or the one my parents wanted me to be. I honestly didn't care that much. I Just barely made it though. That is one tough exam and the competition is enough to kill you or if you manage to survive - give you nightmares for the rest of your earthly pilgrimage. Yes, I still get nightmares about that exam.

5 Things on my to-do list:

I will cheat a little and put one on the list that I already did. I just want to feel a little good about myself. I am known to actually put stuff I already did on my to do list so I can cross it off.
  • Draft a work email which actually should have been sent Friday (done, YAAY)
  • Deweed the vegetable garden
  • Prepare for Sunday school lesson for tomorrow
  • Clear out closet and donate items
  • Put recycling out

Snacks I enjoy

Tuna Cutlet, Dahi Vada, Gobi Manjurian, Beef Samosa, Chicken Puffs

What would I do if I were a billionaire?

That one is easy. We would pack up, go to India, start a school for underprivileged kids and I would also rent a summer cottage at PEI and go there every year.

Places I have lived

  • India (same place first 23 years of my life)
  • Ohio
  • Oregon (on and off)
  • Florida

Jobs I've Had

  • Cashier at an AVI restaurant
  • Teaching Assistant
  • Math Tutor
  • Environmental Engineer
  • Assistant Project Manager

I know what you mean about having nightmares long after something is over. Those aren't fun but don't you feel really relieved when you wake up though? LOL

This was fun to read, Annie. I'll do mine when I get back from blog break. Everybody will feel *really* old when I share what I was I doing ten years ago--high school. ;o)
