| Hey Lima!!
@Shreya and tetris: I think I might be spending more time in Europe. Actually, we plan to go there by late May, say around the 25th or something, as my aunt who lives there is expecting her first child, and my mother wishes to be there. Since, we were planning to go there anyway, we decided that I might as well accompany her. It might save a lot of logistics planning. Also, I have 3 uncles living there in the US. So it wouldnt really get boring.. |

| Europe is beautiful and you have so much to do there- especially now with the cheap flights from one European nation to another (some as cheap as 20 euro!). But the language thingie is a problem! As long as you speak broken French, German etc people are very nice but as soon as you switch to English something in their attitude changes.
But as long as you have a busy schedule you'll love it!
so Shruti you'll probably be speaking in American accent by the time i get there!

| Lol!  I am not very sure about that. My mom studied in Europe and has friends in most of the places there, so I guess that wouldnt be a big problem! But its a beautiful place! And we guys should meet up once you know, once all of us get there
Btw, Shreya, have you been to Europe? | |

| I know- this happenned exactly to my best friend- he couldn't go newhere at all for the past 2 years- and this will happen to my younger sister next year too. I feel so relieved.
But its worth it i guess if you do make it in with a brilliant rank.
Though i still don't know what to think about you giving jee even though you are sure that you are going to the US. | |

| Thank god I'm not giving the IITJEE. Although, like shruthi, I really want to drop a year and get into IIT-D just for the sake of it.  | |
