So, I guess this is the start of another blog eh? Now, I did start one last summer which lasted all but 5 days. Even though this was a rather impressive run, I've decided to attempt to outlast it with this blog. Many of you probably saw that I was writing a blog and certain inappropriate words started floating through your head....LOSER....STUPID....FLAMER...PAJERO....you know the works, but all of you are mistaken. I am not any of these, although it would be cool to be insulted in Spanish again. Side note...do you ever get the urge to just hold down a key at the end of the word you are typing. It's almost like a way to protect yourself from having to write the next word, but there really is no pressure to bang it out. That probably didn't make any sense. However, I'm a wee bit excited again about the blog and it gives people at work an excuse to take a break.
Therefore, Summer '07 has officially begun down herrrr in DC. I moved in this past Saturday. The room was barren...all except for the random clothes in all my drawers and closet space. Pleasant surprise. Who's were they? I think you can guess. Rajkumar Singh's aka Divyam Singh. This surprise delayed the inevitable of unloading all of my clothes and hindered my goal of keeping my room clean. Yes, I am keeping it clean (not just Ryan standards but normal standards). Soon thereafter, Divyam himself made an appearance and moved his clothes (which by the way took the Indian smell out of the room). After the rents left, I was left alone with the Singhman for the night.
The week progressed with Singh studying for MCATs, the other roomates moving in, and me trying to lock down a job. However, something strange occurred to me. There was a surprising balance in the room. The balance I speak of is not in weight or mass but it is rather in skin color/origin. Apparently our room had some sort of affirmative action thing for this summer because there are 3 whites to 2 browns in the room this summer. Wowsa, more whites than browns but a balanced ratio nonetheless. This ratio is vastly different compared to the 4 to 1 ration usually present in the room....brown to white that is. I'm not quite sure if I'm happy or upset about this, but let's be honest...I'm pretty excited about it.
