Hello there. Long time again. And no I haven't been lazy. Whoever said final year is cool, my whole week goes in lab records and drawing sheets and weekends go by in the usual boring trips to the city and oh yea lots of just lazing around but not sleeping. So ultimately I still feel sleep-deprived and busy all the time!
So on things that have been up with me, there was our last Ganesh Chaturathi in college last weekend, and it was quite some fun. And oh oh before that was our last Onam too. Damn that was ages ago, now I realise I haven't posted in, well, ages!
And there have been placements. Loads and more.
And awesome weather. Finally the rains are here like first year, the way I like them.
And then there was the student body elections this Sunday, followed by loads of action!
And, I'm a little bored coz of having to spend a hell lot of time just by myself :( Sometimes I wanna get out of here really fast although time does seem to be flying by even faster in final year and hey I just realised, when I get done with this college, there can be no more Confessions@NITC. It's so soon compared to school which took forever to be over, and what am I gonna write about after college! Who'll wanna read about..well, I can't yet imagine what I'm gonna write about after college!

 
I realised today, I'm turning into a Google mania of sorts, and that too when I don't even like Google, I mean it's not allowed for I always wanted to end up in Microsoft though that may never happen now and anyways I use Bing most of the time; but all day, I find myself thinking, when the net comes at 2, 'I'm gonna google this and I'm gonna google that' though by the time it's 2, I forget what I had thought about and even if I do remember, I bing it!
But the issue isn't Google or Bing, the issue is since the realization dawned on me, I've been wondering if I'm getting closer to the definition of a freak!
The problem isn't with being a freak, there should be something worth (my definition and notions of worth) being a freak, and Google or even Bing for that matter just ain't those kinda things :P

I've had a long, tiring (make that stupidly tiring), pathetic and painful day.
Started with me waking up early to study IC!! And that wasn't the painful part.

Chose this t-shirt which had been drying on the line for the last two days, and after putting it on, realised it was full of ants! Took it off, shook it just once and the whole bathroom floor was full of ants!
Apparently they had tight-rope walked over the clothesline, and gathered in my t-shirt for their round-table conference 2009 chapter or some goddamn reason I don't even wanna understand!

Anyways, so that sent me back into the shower for the second time (two hours before the IC end-semester exam, trust me that is not the best way to pass time!). I was furious at the ants!!
And I saw for the first time in my life what ant-bites really look like. And learnt that they hurt a lot more than mosquito bites :(

Why is it then, that I don't think once before killing a mosquito, and often end up going out of my way to save ants from dying!!

For the rest of the day, I kept getting the feeling of ants crawling up my neck or arms! The IC test was pathetic, worse than I had expected it to be.

After that, I realised my towel was full of ants.
And I was painfully aware for the rest of the day of the ants strolling around my table, but like I said, I have no idea why I am so kind to them, I just let them be.

Dinner time, there was just one ant going in circles around my plate, but it made me furious.

Finally, at the end of the day, I found a book that seemed interesting and settled down in bed with it and realised my bed was full of ants now! That did it. That was 'the' limit.

I moved my table, moved my bed, took a broom and got rid of my 18-month collection of dust, spider webs, dead insects and long-lost and forgotten items from far under my bed. And then took that chalk thing you get to keep ants at bay, and put it everywhere I have ever seen an ant stroll in my part of the room.

Then I remembered the clothesline, and went to check out its end. And there, at the end, was a whole bunch of ants, waiting for some auspicious moment to start their trek I suppose!
Yes, I put chalk along the line. Right now, all I care about is an ant-free zone.
Finally I was done with the de-antification, and sat down on my bed.

And then I realised I had something in my mouth.
It was an ant!!!

Looks like a beautiful morning.
And outside my window, its full of wildflowers again :)

Yea yea I know I haven't blogged in a while; well, I've been kinda busy (and low). First there were the sessionals, then we went out to Ooty (amazing trip) and then, two weeks of being so low I didn't even know two weeks went by!!
Add to that four labs this week and three weeks of craving for a BIG cold coffee!!
So we finally decided enough was enough! And we went all the way to the city just to kill our cravings..
And it was awesome!! Just like my high school days :) >>
Three gals, hanging out at the mall, doing nothing except a BIG nice coffee from CCD :) Ok, the CCD is nothing like its supposed to be, even the coffee is not even half as good, but its as good as it gets here I guess. And it sent my mood sky rocketing so thank heavens CCD finally made it to Calicut, though just like me, it seems to have forgotten what its supposed to really be like after getting here :devil

Week 2: through
Congratulations folks..we did it!!

Its weekend already, pretty quick and must say, the week was a dream.
Just one class on thursday and now I strongly feel one day must be off every month just so we can pay our bills.
Anyway so weekend right; am so outta things to do; I hear half the things in Focus have closed down and with even LF gone, this place appears so freaking dead!!
Oh and I haven't had a first hour yet so am yet to catch a glimpse of the freshers. Like I care, I'm supposedly anti-ragging (lol)
Plus only two days of classes ain't sufficient to generate any gossip; dude there's really nothing to do then I guess.. apart from gaping at the Tathva poster (wassat!!)if you please!!

After my last post, I thought the inspiration for my last post's title deserves a post of its own!!
A Bug's Life is one of the best movies I've ever seen. In fact, many animation movies make more sense than the others these days, take Wall-e for example; I was truly and pleasantly surprised by that movie.
But this post is to A Bug's Life, so below is a walk down the memory lane for all those who went to watch the movie; and for the ones who didn't, the pics below look good right? Now go watch the movie!! :P
Flik - the hero!

The cutest!!

The flight...

The entertainers...

What they do the best ;)

Done with my classes for the day and have nearly a week of holidays stretching ahead and I have absolutely nothing to do, nowhere to go, just nothing! The hostel's already starting to feel empty, most locals will be gone by tomorrow morning.
By God's grace, the weather's been a teeny bit better than what it's been all semester and I'm getting lazy all the time as usual.
The latest unwanted development in my life is me getting addicted to computer games. The whole reason I never do them is because I have this tendency to get really addicted to them: the most dangerous one I ever had was NFS, that too at a very dangerous time - when I was supposed to be preparing for my entrances!! But after staying off them for like three years, I thought one innocent game wouldn't hurt; but that was me underestimating the game as well as myself!!
Btw, before I sign off - thanks for the inspiration krik krak ;) Been too engrossed in my games lately :P

Valentine's day is coming up again and with it comes that whole cards thing I wrote about last year. Someone just came by knocking at our doors to sell them to us - courtesy call - you gotta buy one for your sake!
This year they ain't as disgusting as last year but instead, are so damn cheesy I now think last year's was better. Anyways, like it makes any difference to me! In case anyone's interested, do keep coming back to this page. I will put up stuff if anything interesting happens; though I have a feeling you're gonna turn out to be hell lucky, nothing interesting will happen and I'll have nothing to write here and hence you'll be saved from reading anything!!

Hey its saturday night and am here, stuck in my room without a fan again (there is a fan but it doesn't work so as good as not being there!) And there's supposedly the biggest moon of the year out there in the sky tonight but I don't see any way that's going to affect my evening..
So more than a week into semester 4; I've heard this is supposed to be the toughest one for my branch, so what I'm happy about is that things can't get worse than they are now. But again, you never know, I might just do what everyone thinks is impossible (get worse than already am).
Hmmm classes, classes and more boring classes; the same stuff when read in my room from a book appears so much more interesting! (In case my last doesn't really go down with you I guess it's because I really do have some nerdy genes inside of me.)
Anyways I wrap up here; never heard of anyone who cares to read long blog posts. So have a great sunday and a great monday and a great everyday! (Have a great life!)

Damn my last post was so damn cheesy!! Like too much too too much of it! Like dude I'm already so stuffed up, more cheese is only gonna make things go from bad to worse to unimaginable extents!!!
Okay, I should start talking some sense now, too long you've been reading non-sense!
Actually, it's like when I study right, my mind like totally goes numb, and then when I start talking, the greater possibility is I have no idea what I'm talking! So, like right now, just finished my exams, that means been studying properly for the last two weeks and it's been a helluva two weeks; so my mind really needs some time to come back to atleast it's usual!
Hmmm, so end of the semester, going home tomorrow and this has been the best semester I've ever had; like I know it was only my third, five more to go; and it's been like so so much of work; yet I had an amazing time and many people from here would roll their eyes when they hear me say this but I do like my college; and c'mon I think this is the only one I'm ever gonna go to, so I'm allowed to say this!
So time to go home tomorrow; I can't believe it's time to go, like it's winter back home, and I'm gonna be home this christmas, like I'm so glad I'm gonna be dere; yet I wish I just wish wish wish, I could extend this semester like a chewing gum, like the best chewing gum that was ever made, and I could go on and on and on extending it forever...

Three weeks for the semester to end, the exam time blues are setting in again. Semester three's been one hell of a time; while college is finally somewhat like college, like this is the only one I have ever been to so this is what I believe it's supposed to be like; but inside the class, life has been hell. I never knew signing up for EEE at NITC officially meant signing up to get screwed; for that's what would initially happen to everybody in nearly every hour, then of course, we all grew used to getting shocked. But again, what I'm yet to get used to is getting shocked after every sessionals. Then, there are/were the labs: the ultimate experience - you gotta experience it to know it.
Yet, its been one hell of a lazy semester, getting on sluggishly, like finally falling into place in here I guess. But seems like time just flew this semester; first semester never seemed to end; and this S3 - I sorta wanted this to go on forever - is over so soon!
Of course, the end semesters remain: I know they're gonna be hell too, so just keeping my fingers crossed.

Its tathva, our college techfest.
And guess what job I landed: my dream job - playing diner girl!
Lol...if that left you stumped! But tell you what? One of my favorite fantasies is to own a beach cafe, somewhere down in the Latin Americas! So did I just get a step closer to my dream???
Lol...me and my fantasies!!!

The latest thing in my life, rather out of my life: we don't have a fan in our room.
We're living practically on the equator, in the middle of a drought; our room fan wasn't working properly and was making so much noise that the entire floor was complaining, and when we complained about it, they took the fan away and said 'sorry, no supply of fans right now'!!!

Less than two weeks left for our second sessionals and it's put me in the mood for blogging once again! Today's id so finally, all the restaraunts in town that have remained closed will finally opening, so we finally got somewhere in the city to go (there's nothing else to do in the city). But that doesn't mean we're going! Everyone's just too lazy to even get off their beds (neither have I yet!). After an extended week last week, these two days off feel like the weekend just got displaced by two days ;)
So me finally in a good mood, but as usual, in this place, there's a lack of things to do, so I'm afraid it may not take long for my high spirits to disappear!
Anyways for the time being, since I don't have any plans to get off the bed anytime soon, I'm gonna try giving my blog a (much needed, I think) new look!
