A gOOd wEEkEnD

The friday night started with watching of the moive 'Indiana Jones and....'
Reached there quite some time before so was roaming here and there...was thinking what to do..
had FREE popcorn and soda...then from 0-1-2-1-0 floors...saw people learning salsa..my current interest :P...was fun watching them...
the movie finally started at 9...indeed it was a good time pass..better than sitting at home and doing absolutely nothing...movie ended and then we went to the ballroom where more of our friends joined us...
Played bowling for the first time...thinking that the games in the gameroom were free that night..
played one game 9 of us and when we were returning the shoes we got to know that we had to pay..
well we were 9 so oer head came up to be $2 only :phew:
it was already 2 in the night and we were still in the university few of the people have gone for the free morning breakfast..so we were waiting for them to return...sitting near the open auditorium side heard some guy playing guitar and sitting...which reminded me of my friend..i called him up but useless guys...instead of asking how am i were worried about my mexican roommate....hopeless they are...anyways talked to them...and then went to walmart for i had to buy something...

Next day we had to go to the ichetucknee river...got up by 9.30 and got ready for the trip...it was fun...tubing in that stream of water...i dint know swimming so did not come out of the tube...even paddling was tough for me...always went to the edges and then someone had to push me from there to the center...all in all it was amazing fun...after an hour of floating in water all were tired and damn hungry...on way back to home stopped at a gas station and there ordered pizza and had chips in the shop there...then went to the hare-krishna temple thinking that lunch served there would be free...lol...we again had pizza and desserts but had to pay for it...
though the place was nice...silent, beautiful, green and aesthetically wonderful...

took us around an hour or so to return home and then made onion delicious onion pakoda, along with fried snacks, mint chutney and tea....awesome combination and delicious eatables...ate and ate and then played phase 10...it was already 8 and we had to go for the raquet ball also...got ready and went for that...it was also fun..played for the first time and willing to play more and more..though i really sucked at it :D

was really tired by that time and came back home, had dinner and then direct to bed..slept and slept...got up in the morning and then sunday passed just like that...with little bit of study!

And now the week as usual...the lectures,assignments and studies with playing and dancing in the evening times!!

Its not that bad over here either....

Another weekEND ended

With the assignments and submissions in the coming up week, this weekend went off with pretty much hectic schedule...
Probability gave pains but finally with the help of others, we were able to solve the problem.
Image processing was easy and so was DSP...3 assignments in a row...but finally done with them phew!
Watching the lecture videos for the pop-quiz and doing the reading assignments...seems so much of work..indeed it is!

The bad part was my unusual schedule of sleeping and getting up..yesterday only I slept at 9.30 in night and got up at 1 and then damn hungry...what can one eat at that point of time..talking to my 'jat' friend who was giving me weird ideas of looking outside the window and counting the stars and blah blah, suddenly clicked to me to make maggi...there I go..maggi at 2 in night and the unusual bakar with jat..it was yummie...added to it was lemon and butter(thanks for the idea)..delicious!!

The assignment kept me awake for an hour or so and then finally I decided to doze off and get up in time in the morning..so did I...cleaning the room, made food(aloo paratha again and sucked at it) and then studies..the daily sunday schedule...

The only good thing of this sunday was the 'malai kofta' in dinner...my roomie made it pretty well and we had friends over dinner...so all in all it was good dinner and finally a happy ending of the day as all the assignments were done by now!

As they say---------"All is well that ends well"

When I did not sleep in the IP class.......

One more usual day passed..the only thing that was good was I was wide awake in the image processing class :P
That is something seriously unusual, for this was the first class when I found myself not sleeping by the end of the class...
after the class as usual, went for the bus and for no reasons went for bus#12 but after waiting there for around 15 minutes came back for bus#1..the weather has changed completely and it has started raining and I did not have an umbrella so I was almost completely wet...
This damn bus stopped at some place for around half an hour for some unknown reasons...
Finally I reached home in an hour and then ate something and as usually went for sleep and now its 1 in the night and am up at this unusual time...
Was hungry so ate frozen aloo paratha...yeah too lazy to cook something on my own...told my roomie to wake me up by 9 at any cost if she finds me sleeping else I will be missing my dinners as usually...I hope I dont follow this stupid routine from today!!

Well, hope is the anchor of the soul...so is mine!

ASSignment DAY 1...

Submission on september 11th and am struggling a little bit with the assginment not because am not getting the answers but for I dont know the answers..so waiting for one of my friends so that I could discuss the answers..discussed the answers and then suddenly came the new announcement that the submission date has been postponed for the next week...well what could I do then...completed it with the touch of an engineer...one question still pending!!
By the end of that I was pretty much hungry so decided to go back home...
waiting at the bus stop alone for the BUS#1 to come..and bloody bus came after 20 minutes..
and god knows why these people have such a bad habit of keeping the ac temperature low...neither do they wear much clothes nor do they keep temperature high...I was shivering in full sleeves and those in bits and bites were having fun...
Unusally, today did not get down at the stop from where I had to walk quite a distance but got down at the stop from where my home was just in front..obviously at the expense of some time and my hunger!!

Reached home and first thing that I did was fried rice for myself...
And the rest as they say 'forget it'

Last but not the least---
for my friends in India who are starting with their new job..."ALL THE BEST TO THEM"

A Typical DAIICTian

My first official night out in US..so that I shall not miss the 9.35 lecture in the morning!
Now that sounds like back to college..night outs not one but 3-4 in a go..and then almost dozing off
in the lectures..
Late in the night it was hard to pass time so decided upon watching something online because if i would have taken the studying something part then definitely I would have gone off to sleep.
Anyways, now what to watch..FRIENDS or some movie..??
ROCK ON was something that I had heard from many of my friends and got good reviews..so I went for it.
Watching that movie remined me of one of my close friends(lead singer, a guitarist and a big music fan;i owe my music collection and interest in music to him). Have seen him adding lines to his originals and he explaining me the meaning of them but I still don't remember :sigh:
Well, the movie was good and it ended at 4.30 in the morning..now the question was what shall I do to keep myself awake until 8 in morning...
Luckily one of my friends buzzed me and there I go, my favorite timepass---chatting...
Talked to friends and all and somehow passed time..though took a small nap for an hour or so too.
In the morning, was getting ready that I received a message from my music fan friend..wow what a coincidence..
A new day has started and it had a good beginning..the rest of the day was pretty much usual..
lectures and then back to home and sleeping :)
Now assignment time...
