Busy living


Four weeks pass by quietly since the semester started. Did nothing much really. Attended all the lectures.
I will tell you what. I wrote that previous line last few weeks and then stopped writing. Now again only changed two to three, then four. I didn't mean to change it to four.

Two bike trips, as many movies in theater (at University), a lot many assignments. Suddenly lots of things are happening. It is good to get busy living. Better than having nothing to do. I've also bought a new squash racquet and pair of shoes. Saturday is squash day. Meanwhile studying a lot too. And watched a movie named Dasvidaniya, which reminded me of my own list at 43things.com.Link

Eleventh one

I had half a score of them already. And it's yet another academic semester of life. This one is towards the so called highest level of education. At the time of writing I feel that I am among the very few opportune people who have a chance to reach this level. What percentage of people back in our country get to go to high school? and then undergrad school? and then grad school? And then another grad school?

Anyways, the point is I am studying it bit too far :D. The semester has only started and I feel like its going to be hectic workload. Professors here have the habit of giving non-copy-able assignments every week. And coming with master's degree I am supposed to take oral pre-Ph.D. exams right in first semester which means November end! So its 3 more subjects for orals.

So far the start seems good. Haven't started studying much :) Place is very campus like. Like the one I had been previously. But unlike in many aspects. Lots of bars and drunkards around. A walk to campus from my home on friday or saturday night tells the tale. A particular Saturday night while returning from university, two un-shyly dressed, drunk girls proceeded towards us and mumbled something. We were waiting for walk signal at lights. Luckily we got the pass just then and started walking hurriedly. Recollecting, they were asking 'Is chilly billy open tonight'? Chilly billy is half blocks from university main entrance. Anyways the point is there are many drunkards around. And they love to throw bear bottles from the cars. So we have punctured tyres following week. So you see being rich doesn't solve the problems. It only changes your problems.
