starting this blog yesterday.. but finishing this morning...
-------------------------------
hello everyone :) nush- i'm glad that you had fun with this guy over lunch.. it's really good that you are meeting lots of different guys and satyan isn't just moving right into the boyfriend position ;)

megan- i guess it's good then that you aren't interviewing.. if you know for sure :)

i am doing the job that i originally wanted. this is a bit more senior than what i was originally hired to do- i'll get to work directly with my boss's boss, and she's the head of the hedge fund. and she's a she!!! which is awesome.

plus i really like our current boss.. nick, and i'd still be working a lot with him.. and maybe eventually for him but on something more fun.

other questions? oh.. ameya. hes doing well. we are good too although there isn't a "we" right now, which is why it's good :) i don't know if i talked much about how it's been since he's left.. jules, i think i did to you at soho cantina when i was less than sober :) but yeah it's been a lil awkward since he's gone.. he's kinda avoided emailing me and when i have emailed him it's just been awkward. i really wanted things to stay the same.. to have the nice really informal and not relationshipy emails back and forth.. but we have both just emailed rarely and when we do, he apologizes for not emailing and it's all just more formal than normal.

but, we are both finally OK with that, which is good. we still email rarely but it somehow all feels ok.. i think i finally got a glimpse of what his life is like out there, and i feel a lil more comfortable knowing that we just won't be in touch that often. so now we do email and it's natural and normal. funnny how the mind works :)

so last night i took scott eckert, this guy that (used to!) work for me... and is dating my roommate, shopping. he's not a bad dresser or anything.. but he's really tall and slim.. has a good body for clothes, and he doesn't really take advantage!!! he mostly wears the same pairs of jeans and a different free career fair t-shirt everyday. so we had an awesome time going to jcrew and having him try on everything in the store.. he's too tall for all of their pants, so he's buying some stuff online from them today.

that's all the update for me... oh... and i wanted to say that i thought it was really funny how all of the things that you three mentioned about what you would change are the flipside of the things that make you really cool.. and even more funny is that the thing that you, nush and megan, want are basically exactly what the other has. it's just funny how usually one of our strengths has to be at the expense of something else... and that's usually the thing that we think we should have more of. for example... megan admired nush's ability to be on top of things.. and said that she's "lackadaisacal" about things... and then nush said that she wanted to be more "laidback" about things.. see? flipside.

as for me.. i think the one thing that i'd change is how much i care nowadays about being fit and working out and eating right... i think that at some point in college i just stopped caring... and i don't really think i'm happy at the weight at i am. wow.. revealed more than i thought i would :) luckily, this is totally something i can change.. and soon, but i just think that something has changed in me from the beginning of college till now. when i was in HS, my life revolved around soccer and dance. it was easy to be in shape.. and i actually cared a LOT about not missing a workout. now i'm good for a few weeks and then totally not for several more :)

happy wednesday guys, i'll write more soon!
