Mickey Mak:

No body deserves it better than you man
yash gupta:

I don't know about that...
yash gupta:

Mickey Mak:

I'm very curious about something. How does it feel to have been rejected times by Sheridan? I don't know if I would have been able to take it.
yash gupta:

feels like they are such jerks
yash gupta:

I've seen their system, and it's Flawed, with a bold F!
Mickey Mak:

really how so
yash gupta:

I know this guy kyle, who is a really fine artist. I've seen him work on his portfolio for months!
yash gupta:

probably all year long, way longer than I have
yash gupta:

Mickey Mak:

Honestly now that you're experience Canada and a little bit of the US which do you like best?
Mickey Mak:

Mickey Mak:

yash gupta:

I like it where I have friends
yash gupta:

Mickey Mak:

What does this mean? You like Canada, India, and America equally?
Mickey Mak:

Am I keeping you away from something?
yash gupta:

I just got distracted
yash gupta:

there are things I'd like to get going on..
yash gupta:

but to answer that question, I don't think I can say yet
yash gupta:

I've only lived in USA for less than a month
yash gupta:

in different places
yash gupta:

out of it all, phoenix seemed the most to be my kind of place.
Mickey Mak:

just so you know living in a country is at least months
Mickey Mak:

you were on vacation
Mickey Mak:

lol
yash gupta:

would definitely like to stay in phoenix more
yash gupta:

San francisco, the city, the people, seemed cold. distant
yash gupta:

Mansfield Ohio, was a small town.. countryside.. worse than oakville
yash gupta:

Toronto, seems cool. but again, I haven't lived there
yash gupta:

akola, pune, I'd be like, "fucking don't make me live there!"
yash gupta:

atleast until they come out of the dark ages
Mickey Mak:

worse than Oakville I didn't know that existed
Mickey Mak:

lol
yash gupta:

hehe
yash gupta:

you could drive for a few minutes before you see any traffic lights!
yash gupta:

doesn't sound so bad in that sentence..
Mickey Mak:

when you look back from when you first came to Sheridan. DO you have any regrets (This sounds like an intervew lol)
yash gupta:

I didn't exaggerate it
yash gupta:

could I go ahead and put it on my blog?
Mickey Mak:

sure
Mickey Mak:

lol
yash gupta:

I wouldn't have met so many great friends if I didn't come to sheridan.
yash gupta:

we wouldn't be talking if I hadn't come to sheridan. so yeah, I would regret not coming to sheridan most of all!
Mickey Mak:

But I mean do you regret not applying to SCAD after you first Sheridan rejection?
yash gupta:

uh.. yeah, a little bit maybe. I think I should have pursued SCAD like I did sheridan.
yash gupta:

but wait.. maybe after my nd rejection
yash gupta:

my first rejection was no even my best attempt
Mickey Mak:

True
yash gupta:

I was SO BAD back then.
Mickey Mak:

So this is new adventure for you. Are you gonna miss Canada?
yash gupta:

I was talking to friends about coming back to canada for christmas.
yash gupta:

:)
yash gupta:

I didn't tell you about the adventures we had out in the snowstorm!
yash gupta:

or did I?
Mickey Mak:

I don't think so
