Snow! We had enough!

It’s over. The craze for snow. I remember the first day it snowed and the excitement in people who had witnessed it for the first time. Yours truly was not that big an enthusiast to play with snowballs, dancing in the snow or taking a snap of the name written on snow and putting it up on the orkut profile, but it’s a fact that he was thrilled to see the snowed neighborhood nonetheless. However the zeal of the desi public has finally subsided and for good reason. Who likes to be out in a weather of -30C with the feet trapped in inches-deep show waiting for the bus which doesn’t show up in time! In addition, if you have ever slipped and fell on your back, while trying to move faster on the snow than you should, the snow-god had to bear the worst swearing ever invented by the people on earth. The welcome exclamations of “Wow! It’s snowing!” has been replaced with the cursing ones “WTF! It’s snowing again!”

Life as we know it

It’s going very normal. Bit of problems here and there but overall cruising through. I received an email from the graduate committee chairman today. Finally, the switching of advisors is officially accepted. Good way to start a Sunday morning. End of an episode in my life, I suppose; I hope. Have two exams next week, one on 14th Feb, one on the day after; what a coincidence. Getting along with a lovely relationship with the profs :D I hate that. Got some work in the lab too, the ‘fun’ days are over as they say it. I have actually heard that term quite a few times in my last job. Thankfully the fun days were never actually over until I, eventually, decided to end it. The qualifiers are in April. We have to take the exams in two areas, I have chosen controls and solid-state. I wish there was something with electrical circuits excluding computer architecture. Unfortunately that is not the case and I have to go by that. It’s a written exam and should not be TOO tough, only thing is that I need to study because I literally know nothing about them. But you know the typical engineering attitude!! No work till the deadline is due tomorrow. All the best to me …
