happy graduation

today is michael's graduation from high school. great job! back in the day, that would have meant playing 'pomp & circumstance' on my viola for 4 hours at the kohl center. but things change.
the presentations to the automotive directors well went. majid came into work late, which was frustrating. i think we are gonna talk some this weekend about the goals for the summer and work on giving each other critical feedback. hopefully that will be a fruitful conversation.
haider is still not back at city centre. his flight was supposed to come in an hour ago, but it was delayed. he seriously has the worst luck with travel.
yesterday i went out to dinner with soham's (one of my old mentees) parents. they took me out to an indian restaurant, where the food was delicious (chicken, lamb, tofu-looking cottage cheese, and prawn). they were great company, and we plan to meet up again once haider is back & once we return from japan. i just found out today that osaka will be our base of operations in japan. we will be staying at the swissotel. here is a picture of the pool:
what else what else? today i slept in. kept reading revolutionary road - the main lesson i am learning from that book is not to take a dull job for the purpose of making $bank$. it was an option on the table for me (and it might come up again at the end of this internship) so it is good to be reminded ... then i went shopping for a bit. later, majid, ali, sarah, eva and i went out to see 'kung fu panda'. i told michael that i was going to see the movie and he said to me, "even your little brothers don't wanna see that movie". i pretty much agreed and i thought we had lucked out when we got to the crowded theatre & there were no tix left for the movie. so, we when to see marky mark in 'the happening' m night shyamalan's latest mistake. the writing reminded me of 'HOOOKIN' UP!!!' by ron greenberg.
chchchcheck it.
