Kids these days

Last night was the Mayur Show. For those who don't know, Mayur SASA is CMU's biggest organization, and it's mission statement is to promote Indian culture. As such, every year, they put on the Mayur Show - a show consisting lots of dancing, with a skit interleaved between each dance. Because my boyfriend was part of three dances, I decided to put off coding for a few years to watch him perform. And I'm glad I did! Because all of the dances were great. My personal favorite was the all-boys dance, called Chaos. The link below is of their dance. It will be the best 4 minutes and 29 seconds of your day, I promise. 

But the reason for the title of this post wasn't because of this dance. Or even any of the dances. No, the title of this post comes from what happened at the after party for this show. It was held at a club in the Strip District, called Static. Now, most club parties that are considered after parties for a show go on until at least 2 am. This club party ended at 1 am. Which wouldn't have been a problem, except for the fact that my friends and I got there at 12:45. And when we got there, we were shocked. Not by the CMU people who had reached before us, but by the other people in the club. They couldn't have been older than 18, in fact, they all looked like they were high-schoolers. And they made us feel as though we were wearing burqas. Most girls were dressed only in a bra and shorts (the ones wearing shirts were wearing shirts that were see through and short, so they might as well as have not been wearing a shirt at all). Have kids these days forgotten the meaning of the phrase, "Less is more?"

Late night munchies

So last night, at around 1 am, I had the munchies. Rather than settle for the old "let's order pizza from Papa John's" routine, my boyfriend and I decided to head towards Oakland for half price at Fuel and Fuddle. We were halfway there when we realized that we should probably call them and make sure they were still seating people, since they closed at 2. Unfortunately, they were not. But never fear, every major city has a McDonald's, so we decided to quickly grab something from there. Twist in the story! The line at McDonald's was out the door. So finally, still hungry, we turned to walk back to my apartment, deciding to satisfy our hunger with instant noodles. As we were walking back, we noticed that this restaurant, Primanti Brothers, was still open. Maybe our plans could be saved? And thankfully, they were. This place was open till 3 am, so we quickly sat down and ordered food. I ordered a chicken sandwich and chili fries, and my boyfriend had a double egg and cheese sandwich. Unfortunately, the chili fries had beef in them, but our waiter took them back and replaced them with cheese fries, free of cost! Shout out to the wonderful waiter who did that :)

The pictures below show the contents of the sandwich and the cheese fries. They were a delicious ending to a long, hard week :)

The contents of this sandwich were french fries, coleslaw, tomatos, and chicken. Yes, there were french fries in the sandwich. It was delicious. 

A look at the delicious cheese fries. All of them were gone by the end of the meal

Lucky number?

I had lunch today at Carnegie Mellon Cafe, located underneath Resnick. Look at the order number!

Sleepless at CMU

Unfortunately, my hopes of sleeping early are continually dashed by CMU's heavy workload and the host of extracurricular activities I am a part of. The job fair lasted from 12 - 3:30, after which I had a staff meeting from 4:30 - 6:30, and between filling out various applications and cooking dinner, I didn't start homework until 10:30. And so it's currently 3:50 AM, approximately 3 hours after I had wanted to be done with homework and asleep. And I'm still not done getting ready for tomorrow (today?) I finally finished my homework, but I have an interview and a meeting to get ready for. And the day starts at 9:00 AM, when I get to lead a recitation section.


Can I please sleep already?

Job Fair Part 2

So in addition to being a great place to find jobs, the job fair is also a great place to pick up free swag.
Last year, I had posted a picture of a Palantir water bottle that I had picked up. This time, I got 6 shirts and a cute iPhone speaker. I'll post a picture of it soon!
