Geekology

This is it. Last Semester. It feels like yesterday when four of us met over lunch just to decide what classes we were gonna take. This is my first week of classes. It is only this week you can pick and choose the classes you are going to stick with for the rest of the semester. It's a pain coz you need to be very careful. If you miss you the opportunity, you can mess up your graduation plan.

I don't regret leaving the corporate world. I know I'll be back in it..in no time. But getting my Masters degree was the best decision I've ever made. This blog is not about that. It's about what I did today that makes me so happy.

The first day of the semester, I came in as a Computer Science Major. Listening to the different options I had in this degree I freaked about this particular course called Principles Of Operating Systems. It wasn't the course that freaked me out really... it was the pre test that allows me to take the course or not. I thought to myself, I know for a fact I want to take classes which were available as a Computer Engineering Major, so why go through this trauma. The next minute I changed my major. I still think it was a good decision. But, that guilt of freaking out about this test made me feel like a failure. But, today .... yes yes ..I'll get to the point. Today is the day I gave that pre-test. I studied for it.. well kinda. But I did. May be the fact that I dont have to do that whole course, I was relaxed while writing the paper. But it felt awesome. I felt so happy.

Ok ok all that is fine, but how do you go to the professor and tell him, listen up yo. .. this is my answer sheet. Please grade it and email me the answers. :p Turns out ... he was more than happy to do it. Initially he looked astonished by the fact that some fool would take tests for fun. But he doesnt know what it meant to me.

Also, today is the day I got offered a teaching assistant ship. Friggin awesome ain't it. I always wanted to be that.. I considered TA's as really smart people. So transitivity rules. . All in all... the stars are changing.

p.s. also I dropped my favorite pendant and it was sitting there in the same place I left it. What are the chances. Hopefully good days are here to stay.

I've lost love that was impossible

I'm out of da-nile . Now I'm certain I've lost you. I waited and waited ..I've lost my patience. I thought we were gonna be together. Certainly not for ever...coz this was getting old. But I took good care of us. Yes I did. Four years was a long time right. And you went away..just like that. I didn't even realize. If only I knew that this was the last time I'd see you.. we could have had a proper goodbye. Every time I hear a phone ringing with our song... I think of you. But, now you are gone and you've taken all my memories with it. I wish I could take a backup .. yeah like save all those memories. But no.. you couldn't let me have that could you. I cannot believe just the day before, I thought I achieved a level in our relationship. Now, I cant even claim that we were there, you disappeared.

I hope you are in better hands now. Hope you've moved on. Hope she takes better care of you... or whoever it is that fancies you. Because of you I fought with my family... because of you I lost a dear friend. I can play the blame game all day. I hate you.. But I love you in brackets.

We both know you had to go someday. May be this happened for the best. The strums ringtone is out of my head now... tanatanatanatang .. is that how it sounds. I can move onto a new model. You always knew I had a thing for droid. It lets me install my apps.. faster than you. Goodbye Apple IPhone.. or as you were rightly known .. JIPhone. Hello Android. :)

p.s. Just a day before I lost my phone.. I finished the game of Angry birds with nearly 245 levels. Even before I could boast I did it. It was gone. And then there is ..contacts.. photos..messages. Talk about losing it all eh.

Wow a month passed by...without blabbering on the internet

Here I am ... blogging again. So much to write .. so much time too...yet trying to compartmentalize ...fitting things to do at the right time. Now I'm just blabbering. It just helps me establish the fact that I am not mute but mostly it's a little annoying. It's sad that I can switch topics or talk about single most unimportant thing for the longest time or just tell stories and take forever to finish. I can also be straight to the point but only if the situation demands.
Fine I'll stop. We went to Disney World... yay. They say you haveta do it once in a lifetime ... well I plan to do it once in a lifetime only. And you wonder why ... it's so freaking expensive..thats why! But the time I had with my family was precious. It's not everyday that four generations of your family can have a successful trip together. It was great. Well, my dad sponsored the whole thing so I shouldn't be cribbing about the expenses. He worked on his impulse and presented himself all the way here from India.. in a matter of weeks.
So for now that is pretty much it, working hard at work ... making things happen. I like it. I have full control and I am gonna make the best of it..
Before I forget to put this down, I learned to do the hula hoop thingy! It took a while at first but I was a pro in a day. Thank you YouTube for helping me learn so many exciting things..some idiotic but some that saved me a lotta time and money.

hula hula toodles,
me

p.s. note to myself for future reference: you can hula hoop so go grab one..like now.
