Spring Break

Spring Break was an amazing time to go home and catch up with everyone from SoCal again. I got to see the usual crew and see how they were doing and what all they have done in my absence. Over break we celebrated Ryan's 23ed birthday, went to Vegas with my friends Lulu and Zan, and mourned the loss of a great friend Sandeep.

Ryan's birthday was the weekend after we returned home, was a coming together of old friends and just great to see everyone, and find out how everyone was doing. Aside from all most getting in a fight with his girlfriends brother while intoxicated it evening went quite well and I for the most part was able to catch up with all those who I left behind back in SoCal.

Vegas was fantastic, stayed in master suites in the Paris and gambled and drank like all college kids should do in Vegas. On Tuesday Zan, Frado, Lulu, and I headed out in the E55 to make the trip to Vegas. This was my first trip back to Vegas since I was 21 and all I have to say is that it was an amazing experience. While losing money was no fun for the total drink / gambling losses coming down to a $70 that’s a number I can afford. I could not of asked to go with better people.

Finally the most tragic event over the break was the death of a good high school friend Sandeep, you will truly be missed bud and I wish you the best where ever you are now. May you rest in peace.


Another Spring Break down means I'm just that much closer to graduation, I can only hope that my next one is as eventful as this one minus the death of a loved on.

Sandeep

Sandeep Ajith died in his sleep sometime last week. His family had a small ceremony for him on Sunday, March 22, 2009.

Apparently, he had been suffering from some sort of illness over the last few months and was in and out of the hospital. He died in his sleep at his home in Chicago, IL.

At this time, his family has not given much information on his death but when I find out, I'll let everyone know I can.


All I know is that this is a goddamn tragedy. Sandeep was incredibly smart and gifted. He was going to be a doctor.

The fact that I don't know what happened or when he died makes me feel cheated...like none of it is real. I'm expecting the crazy little bastard to pop out of the other room and start cussing me out...good times...

You'll be missed my friend. Rest in peace

Shamrock Showcase

Shamrock showcase occurred last Thursday and was yet another amazing event hosted by the lovely ladies of Kappa Delta. Our group started the night off early customizing T shirts and heading to the event together, arriving around 6:30.

The event is hosted to raise money to prevent child abuse in America, and more then expected turned out to the event on Thursday. Filling the auditorium by DBH on campus, Greeks and non-Greeks alike came together under one roof to show our support for Kappa Delta's philanthropy, and help raise awareness of this plague that sweeps our nation.
