Lots of new years!
There was an amazing talk in toastmasters today about new year celebrations in India. She said there exists more than 23 different new year celebrations in one year there! It was very interesting to me because I noticed that I experienced lots of new years this year a few days. We had Persian new year, Indian new year, Jewish new year, Christian new year, and some others that I didn't have time to go. It is one of the most strange things that a foreigner can experience in the US.

Three hours talking to Camellia
Camellia called me today to talk about a decision in her life. She was not satisfied from her major and most importantly the group she was working with. I tried to guide her the best I could. I had this feeling that she made up a story to have something to talk to me. I don't know if I was right or wrong. Anyway, I talked to her, and I get to know her better as she told me the story of her life and how she got here. I also told her mine.
Martin's daughter's birthday
My professor took me to Martin's house. They invited me one week ago, but they hadn't told me about the birthday party, so I didn't know it was his daughter's birthday, and I didn't buy anything for her. I didn't expect that our meeting be that long that I got to Martin's house very late.
The party was good, and they prepared lots of food.
The was a girl, Camellia, there that I couldn't remember when I met her before. She knew me, but I didn't know her. She tried to break the ices between us by doing uncommon things. I got surprised when I heard that she planned this with Martin's wife to get my eyeglasses to wet me. We played water battle in Martin's house, and she started the game. I tried to be like myself. I can't say I like her, and I can't say that if she likes me I don't like her.
A business meeting day
My professor called me today to go to another town and talk to a doctor regarding our project. He came late and I had a very amazing time enjoying awesome weather of today.
We met in a McDonalds store. That person was a very bright person. He was also from India. At first, we suggested to have a software company, but he had a better idea. I really liked his idea. Since it's a business idea, I can't write about it here, but it was kind of generalized version of our idea in the form of services and not products.
It was very busy the way back home. We discussed about that person's idea. I think that we may take it sometime later. We really need to think about the business model he suggested.
In the way, he asked me so many questions about marriage in Iran. I wish I had written them earlier because I can't remember many parts of this now. I also get familiar with Indian culture. Perhaps, he knows someone, and he would like to introduce her to me because he said, "Indian culture has many things in common with your culture. I think that you should consider marring an Indian girl." I was thinking about Taylor all the time he was talking about marriage.

One day wasting on my course project
In order to finish my parts of my course project, I spent the whole day today. I was very unhappy doing all these things because it was a complete waste. I expected them to do these things to learn something. I already knew all these things. In addition, I almost did all major parts of the project that is useful for the final grade. The rest of the project is like a hobby. They can easily do it by copying and pasting my codes. I don't want to spend more time on this project.
Looking for a new house
I decided not to stay in my current house. It is because my roommate is going to get another person for the summer. It means that I won't have my private bath, and I don't like it. Other people are not clean enough to share a bathroom with. In addition, my rent is 700$, and I can find a much cheaper place with shared bathroom. It means that in the case that I stay there in the summer I need to pay 200$ more than I get, and I don't like to do that. So, I am looking for another place.
I went to see another house today. The location was good and close to the campus.
However, the house was very dirty. It was 500$ with a shared bath with a female. Usually girls are clean, but this was different. I didn't like it.
The room was also very dark and dirty. He had two mischievous boys who were at school the time I got there. I think that he planned somehow for me to not to see his sons. I didn't even see that girl, but I heard she has a boyfriend. It is hard to find another place close to the university.
