Last night I saw something that I will never ever forget. One of my roommates found out that her dog had died. As she lay there in bed, and cried, one roommate moved first and pulled her into a hug. Another roommate came back to the room and without even asking what was wrong, went on the otherside and wrapped her in a hug. Then the last roommate and I moved and joined the hug. We all sat there and held her in our arms and held her hands until she stopped crying. Even then, we all sat there and wipped her tears as she told us about her dog. We all listened and cried with her, laughed with her as she told us about these memories.
Unfortunately, I got a phone call so I had to move outside to take it but when I left, I looked back and saw how the other four sat there. It would have been a great picture to show love between my roommates. I came back and I was easily able to fit back. This is one thing that I love in dorms. You may be far from home, but there are people who will drop what they are doing and make time for you because they know if something similar happened to them, they would like the same.
Even after my roommate had stopped crying and gone back to work, we would occasionally pass her and ruffle her hear or poke her nose or give her a quick hug before we went out the door. I really think that this made a difference for her. Even if we didn't say it, I could feel the it in the atmosphere in the room.
I stopped and thought back later during the night. They always have pictures of girls smiling or working on something or playing a game in the magazines for Woodstock but they never show how something like this. They never show something like what I experienced last night. I don't think it can be captured in a photo or a video, but it is something that is there and will always be there.

17 years old
The pic is also on my art blog but I felt like putting it up here as well.... anyways... continuing.
Goodness gracious... I'm 17 now. I feel slightly old... not much I can do about it though. I got sung for during Tea time... meh... and now people know it's my birthday! I mean, I guess some people did but now loads of people do... my silly roommates. Oh... speaking of roommates.
So yea last night I ended up getting 11 people to wish me even before it was 12:10am. What in the world? Yea... so I got a call from my big brother... YAY!!! Which was nice cuz he stayed up to wish me... which I thought was uber sweet. Then there were my roommates. I like closed my eyes for a minute and was almost asleep and then I sensed that there was movement so I woke up. All of my roommates were crowded around my bed and staring down at me... creepy! I like sat up and was like "ack!" Then they sang for me and stuff. Then I tried to go to sleep again after that and got text messages from my cousin. Then after that I got a text message from my parents and both my sisters... that's 11 people before 12:10am! Aig...
Yesterday I went OB with my uncle's family since they were in Dehradun and they came to visit me. We went into the buzz and went to Four Seasons for dinner. Then they paid for me to get ice-cream and take it to dorms. Anjuri was adorable and kept hiding from me. Whenever she would see me, she would smile and be all like "Ankita Nani!" It was sooooooooooo uber cute! Sadly, they had to leave early because she wanted to go back home and my aunt's mother was tired... :( On the ride back to dorms, I got to hold Aaron and after bouncing around for a while, he fell asleep on my lap. It was UBER UBER UBER UBER UBER DADORABLE! I got pictures of it too! :P
Anyways, I got back to dorms and I went for House Time and guess what they had.... ICE-CREAM! Yay! It was a pretty good too. Yesterday was just amazingly fun in general. Today Mr. Garcia has given me numerous hugs for my birthday. I also got a hug from my big brother... yay! I feel special. :P Anyways... now I should probably work on my homework. It would be a good idea. I also have an IGCSE exam tomorrow so I should go study more for. Yep yep... I shall be off... until next time! :P

Manic Morgan
I have to say, out of all the roommates I have had, Morgan has been the most amazingly crazy. Well for starters, she sleep talks. I mean like almost every night. It's freaking awesome! I'm usually the one who hears her sleep talk because I am up the latest. Hey! I can't help it... motherly instinct says "make sure everyone else has slept before drifting off yourself" Well... something like that. Anyways... continueing... She has the most amazing and random things to say in the middle of the night such as "I'M A BOY!" And she talks back to you and answers and everything! It's just amazing... anyways... moving on...
She dances too. I mean.. she has this little spastic dance kind of thing she does every once in a while... it's funny and cute. And then when she's listening to music on Magill's laptop she starts dancing while still sitting on her bed. Does that count as dancing? Well.... it sure looks close to it. And she pretends to be singing the song too and moves her head from side to side and all that jazz.
Next, she has amazing music. I mean... it doesn't sound like music at all sometimes... but it's really catchy at times and I find myself wanting to drum it out on something or the other but end up not doing it. She also has real music on her ipod to which she finally got new earphones to which is good cuz otherwise she looked kind of lost looking for earphones to borrow from someone or the other.
Next... she has the most embarrasing moments ever. Yesterday we had house time and most people went that day so that food had run out. Morgan upon hearing that there was Strawberry Ice-cream raced out of the room and you she had just come out of the shower and wasn't properly dressed yet( and no there will not be details). It was so sad when she showed up in her state and found out that there was no more ice-cream left.
Next... she has incredible luck with adults. For example, after last night's incident, Ms. Ronita made her and a few other people more food and it was amazing cuz I was one of the few people who didn't get food yesterday. I didn't get any because I came late from AP study hall at school. Not only do the dormparents love her, her teachers at school do too.
Anyways... I'm going to miss her when she leaves... along with the other peoplez... oh well...

My dream from last night
This was my dream from last night:
It started like any other day. I was on Ridgewood Field and started walking towards Alter Ridge. Just then realized that were were people on the roof of Alter Ridge. I was trying to figure out what they were doing when they just started firing on the kids that were down in front of the dining hall.. I wasn't that close so I ducked behind the stone wall. A few seconds later, the firing stopped and I saw a bunch of boddies in front of the dining hall. Other people who had manged to hide were running as fast as they could towards Hostel.
However... I knew that more people were going to get hurt if they didn't know about the terrorists. So I went near the woodshop and climbed down the khud and around till I got to lover's lane. From there I ran up till I got to midlands but even as I did I could hear more guns firing and screaming. I finally managed to reach up and told them about the terrorists.
Everyone started panicking but like in all dreams... people who aren't really suppossed to be there were and so there were teachers and boys in my dream, up in Midlands. It was strange but anyways. After that, people started organizing a group of people who would scout out the area. I started getting freaked out because my big brother was one of those people so I volenteered to go too.
We used lover's lane to sneak out of Midlands and check on the terrorists. There were about 20 or so of them all on the roof of Alter Ridge, dressed in black with loads of weapons. We managed to sneak back to Midlands and tell the security about how many terrorists we had found. Not too much later, a scout came back to report that there were only 10 or so terrorits on the roof. Some were missing. Just then there was a bomb blast that took apart half of Midlands. Those who were outside were lucky, those on the inside... not so much.
The survivors managed to get down to the laundry rooms and we hid there. Others that couldn't fit went down hill and hid. Not too much later we heard a bunch of commotion and me and my brother went out to see what had happened. It was the police who had managed to get the terrorist and rounded them up onto Ridgewood field. I was so happy and hugged my big brother because I could have lost him but I didn't.
One of the teachers looked at us and was like PDOA but then my english teacher said to let us be and that we could all have died but we didn't so we should be happy. And I was happy as I hugged my big brother. And then I woke up.
