Chocolate Seder

I went to another Jewish event today. It was an unbelievable one. They had a complete ritual just to eat chocolate. It was very interesting. We played a short version, but a woman said that the complete one takes three to four hours. 

Everyone started to read a paragraph of a text. After a few paragraphs, it was written to eat one of the chocolate types. They didn't have all types there, but they prepared something to represent that. For example, they used Marshmallow instead a white chocolate.

I was nervous to read the text because I didn't want Sarah know that my English is not that good, but I read it very well. I still can't remember that people sit together just to eat chocolate as a part of their religion. Awesome!

We are on the same page

I had a long conversation about the business model with my professor today. He mentioned something that I was exactly going to do myself. He wanted to give the software for free to everyone to create a market barrier. It is very good, and I like it. Not only we can help more people, we can reduce risk of future competitors. This can also help me with EB2 later if it worked. 

I am researching about Miley cyrus

I was in the cafe like any other day that I saw that girl who was interested to me again. She saw me and smiled. She was uncomfortable to come and talk to me, but I shook my hand, and she noticed that I noticed her. She walked toward me, and I figured out that she remembers me.

She: Hi
Me: Hi.
Then she hugged me!

She: What are you doing here?
Me: I am working on my project.
She: Let me see.

I showed my project to her.

Me: What are you doing?
She: I am researching about Miley Cyrus for one of my courses.
Me: That's interesting. (Hopefully, I knew her because of Taylor!) What is your research topic?
She: Have you seen her VMA's performance?
Me: No. (I just saw Taylor's!)
She: Don't watch it.
Me: Why?
She: It was very bad. My research is to understand what caused her to be changed that much. There is something in psychology that girls are interested in their father's attitudes, and I should show that this is true about Miley. I come here because I don't want to let her be in my room. (I can't remember her sentences completely. I tried to write the meanings. She meant that she didn't want to study about such a bad person in her room that is kind of secure and clean.)
Me: How you are going to show it?
She: I should study her from her childhood to now.
Me: Maybe it is not her father. Maybe there are other factors.
She: Like what?
Me: I don't know. Maybe you can study her until before her VMA performance! :)
She: No, it should be a complete study. Oh, I got it. That's a bullshit! OK. I gonna go. I should start working on this. Nice to meet you.
Me: Nice to meet you.

It was interesting when she said that she didn't want to let Miley's story to be in her room. I didn't know that American girls can have such an attitude.

A night with Hanson and Henry

I took Jeeraj to JCPenny again to buy a formal shoe because he has an interview on Monday. Then I took him to an Indian shop, and he bought so many Indian food there. It was not allowed to take a picture inside. It was full of Indian things. I bought some Indian snacks. I wanted to buy some ready-to-eat foods there, but I changed my mind because I wanted to taste them all fresh in restaurants.

I was in the shop when Hansen called me, and invited me to a dinner in his house. I was going to buy something for Nancy because today was her birthday, and I asked Hansen if he wanted to join me, but he declined. Since I didn't want to go there alone, I accepted Hansen's invitation, and I went to his house. I had congratulated Nancy for her birthday last night, but I wanted to buy a cake and spend some hours with her that I couldn't.

I had a great time studying Plato's Symposium book. I read the introduction, and a few pages of its beginning, and I am going to continue reading that in my free time. It seems to be a very interesting book. Hansen and one of his friends played Persian traditional music the whole night. I wish I could join them in playing or singing, but I couldn't. Henry was practicing calligraphy the whole night while enjoying their music. I may try singing with them once.

Goodbye party

I went to a goodbye party of a friend here. I called Nancy, and we went there together. It was the same restaurant where we went for the new year celebration. Nancy sat next to me. I tried to talk to the people at the table, but I really don't like to talk unless necessary.

When I was taking pictures something happened. "You and Nancy, let's take a picture with me together," my friend said. It was a little shocking for me and even Nancy. There is nothing between us, but he thought that we might be interested to have a picture together there. I hope that no one else has such a idea. Nancy is a good girl, but she loves someone whom I don't know, and she is just a friend to me.

Nancy passed her driving test

Nancy had her road test today. We went to the test center together. She drove the car. I was in my thoughts that she said something to break the silence. I noticed that I didn't talk to her for more than 15 minutes. She got uncomfortable and she wanted to start talking. I was thinking about something that happened yesterday that I can't write about it because it is a very personal thing related to Nancy. I tried to talk to her and make her comfortable. I even made her laugh, but I was cautious not to distract her from driving.

I had lots of stress again, and I don't know why. It seems that I can't handle stress like before. A very small thing like a driving test can cause stress to me. Hopefully, she passed her test today. I really wanted to ask her out for lunch, but since we were invited to a dinner party, and it was not a suitable time, I changed my mind for sometime later.

An awesome girl in UCSD

My friend in UCSD shared a photo with some students there. One of them was a very pretty girl. Usually I don't like Iranian girls because of so many reasons that I don't want to talk about it, but she was different. I am thinking that I wish I could find someone like her, or she could be in our university.

I know that it is weird to know someone based on a few photos, but I got a good feeling about her when I saw her photos. She looks very smart; she has a beautiful smile; she is very intelligent, and her eyes laughs when she smiles! Contradictory, she is a mischievous girl inside! Kids, she is among very a few girls in the world whom can truly understand me.

Because of all I said, I tried to contact her.

Me: Hi. I unexpectedly noticed that you are a friend of A.. and M. I know A... from my bachelors, and I know M... since he was a student at my university. If you don't mind, I am curious to know how do you know M...

She: I do see it more appropriate if you asked this from M... whom you already know rather than a stranger, but I did an internship in Qualcomm last summer and that's where I met him.

From her answer, I can say that she is open to know more people. She has a mind framework that she acts based on that, and she notices easily when somebody doesn't perform based on her assumptions. She obeys rules (let's say social rules). She is not a cunning person. She is trustful, and trusts people at the beginning. I replied her, but she was not interested (and there was no reason) to continue the conversation.

Sometimes I ask myself that why I don't consider girls like her and Nancy. I can't say anything wrong with them (Maybe I can: they are not as tall as me!). They are much better than all the girls whom I met in Iran, but I have no answer. Perhaps it is because Taylor is still single. Anyway, I decided to meet her in person in my next trip to San Diego.
