April 27 - May 3
This past Saturday Sketchy and I were up at the crackass of dawn (5-6am). We went to NYC for a day trip with his parents. We stopped in Edison, NJ thinking there might be good deals on indian clothing, but that was a giant fail. We then made two stops in NY to grab shalwars for the bridesmaids, saris for me, sapna and sketchy's mom and a sherwani for sketchy. We were pretty much successful by the end of the day but we got home really late! I had gotten a few saris because I kept deciding that the next place had a prettier sari. In the end, and what is most ridiculous/funny, I ended up wearing a Sari that sketchy's mom had sitting at home the whole time. It's okay, the other saris will be worn at some point and we did still get sapna, sketchy's mom and sketchy outfits!

On Monday, Sketchy and I printed invitations for the engagement ceremony and sent them out. I went to the doctors to get a lot of random things figured out -- i hardly ever go so that was good to get it off the list of things to do in life. We also found out via facebook check-in that Kerry was in Georgetown. lol
Not really sure what happened on Tuesday.
Wednesday I went out to Mister Days with Brenna and Diana to celebrate the decision to put a deposit down and go to American University's Washington College of Law part-time. Wednesday was also my cousin, Anup's birthday. I'm not sure if i actually got that written on his wall in time but throughout the day I kept telling myself not to forget to tell him! There are few people in this world whose birthdays I remember by heart -- his is one! Happy Birthday Anup, even though you probably never read this and especially this post since there are no pictures! lol
Thursday I put in the deposit. I think most people know how huge this was for me. The only way to really explain the achievement I felt is to say, getting into law school has always been my ultimate goal. I've changed what kind of attorney i want to be countless times, but my desire to go to law school has never changed. Everything I've ever done was for that moment and to finally hear that I was accepted and that it is really happening was surreal. This moment justified me going to GW and moving away and everything else I've said and done thus far.
Friday, Sketchy made dinner for me. I went out with some co-workers and had to run an errand. My phone as always was dead. It got late and sketchy thought I was dead. He then alerted other folks and made them believe I was dead. Here was sketchy's panic plan:
1. check a local bar (what is my life that this is the first place he looked?)
2. call the local emergency rooms
3. call a co-worker (co-worker eventually looked at phone and had me call him back)
I still feel bad about this. He had a nice dinner waiting at home for me and i didn't get home until 10ish. Bad Nalini! Here's my public apology -- I'm sorry Sketchy!
