'Special status'

Most of my dear friends and I belong to the 'special status' group here. To my utter disgust, 'special status' doesn't necessarily mean a privileged class. It simply means an 'F' on your visa! All the employers try and stay away from us. They do empathize (actually pity) and do worry about a 'loss of talent'...but, they hardly care! Who wants to go through the hassle of filing for an 'H' when you can find a perfectly good employee who is already a citizen? I do understand the restrictions imposed upon them by 'you- know- who', but nonetheless, dont we deserve a chance? I'm sick and tired of people not even accepting our resumes. The only ray of hope they ever give me is 'apply on our website'...yeah right! as if they check!

While I whine about this mad job search, my phone buzzes.... an ex-boss calling! suddenly see a ray of hope! :)

'Spring?? Break??!!?'

To begin with, my apologies my dears, for not blogging often. I was waiting for something to 'inspire' me to write a blog all this while, and I guess, still haven't found anything that inspiring. So, might as well crib about my so called 'Spring break'.

The fact that this time of the year is called 'spring' annoys me! Its not spring..isn't spring supposed to be colorful, chirpy, bright and sunny? I've heard Ann Arbor isn't all that till about the end of April. So calling this time of the year 'Spring', is totally unjustified. So lets now call this our mid-winter break.

'Break'? yeah..it was supposed to be one! from the routine. from trampling 6" of snow on your way to and from school. from classes. from school. from studying...oops..no! God alone knows why teachers think the spring break is an excellent time to study and have mid terms right after the break! mine surely does! how i love cursing her for ruining my break! anyways... now that my 'spring break' is almost over, i have to get back to Studying... see you all then!
