Wasting my time

I'm just wasting a lot of time in the internet, by blogging, checking mails and chatting. So I'm going to stop all of that till my exams get over. Wow! So I'm not gonna be logging on to the internet for almost 3 weeks! I have no idea how exactly I'll be able to manage it, but I'm gonna try.

So see you all after my exams (and c'mon wish me luck!) .

Oh, and since I wont be coming online, I wish you all a happy new year!!

Take care everybody! And party!

(everybody is like 3 people.. *sigh*)

Merry Christmas!!

Hey.. merry christmas everybody! Have fun and enjoy your holidays :-)


(unlike me)

Holidays/ Movies

While everyone is enjoying the festival season and their holidays, I will be spending this week studying. Why?? Because some stupid guy decided that starting the exams from 2nd Jan is an awesome idea. Yeah, you read that right. Its 2nd Jan. Its really irritating when I see all of my cousins having real fun during the holidays, and I'm stuck studying.

I can't even watch movies. Why is it that whenever I have exams, cable TV decides to show some movies that I've always wanted to watch? HBO is showing lord of the rings and Bourne Supremacy.Star movies is showing I, robot. And I can't watch any of those, because all of the good ones come just before the New Year's eve.

All of the Christmas movies are being aired now. I'm sitting at home, thinking if I should be studying, or watching movies. I have no idea why, but I just love the christmas movies. Just 2 or 3 days back, I saw the Santa Claus 2. Awesome one.

I also saw that monkey trouble and dunsten checks in was coming. But have too much to study so I can't sit and watch movies now. So didn't watch those movies.

I'm listening to Bon Jovi's song Have a nice day. I guess this day is going pretty well, except that I am a little irritated about the exams.

Finally got my cell phone back. I went to the principal's office at 10:30. He made me wait till 1:30!!! He had a meeting going on. Now, if he had a meeting at 10:30, why the heck did he tell me to go at 10:30? Crazy nut. He probably thinks that we students have nothing to do. Luckily I had predicted that I will have to wait for atleast an hour, so I had taken a text book along with me. So I didn't totally waste my time. I was sitting and studying.

Oh well, I should be studying now. Just a week for exams. Still have lots to study.

Last lab! Yippie!

Today was the last lab of my engineering. We don't have labs in the last semester. It went well. I got the easiest experiment ever. I'm so happy.

Actually labs are easy. I don't hate them or anything. But there is too much to mug, which I hate. I cannot even mug a single line, no matter how much I try. This is why I found this time's computer lab a little tough. Anyway, its all over now. Finally.

PS: I'll be getting my phone on saturday.

Phone update

Yup, I still didn't get my phone back. :(

I went to the college in the morning, hoping to catch the principal when he was not busy. But unfortunately he was. He didn't want to meet any student 'so early'. It was already 10:30. That was apparently early, as told to me by his secretary. So, I had to wait for him for an hour. Finally, I was told that I could go and talk to him.

I went in and asked him,"Sir, you took my phone yesterday."
He looks at me like I am from another planet (I guess he didn't recognize me) and tells me," Very good... Don't worry, I didn't use your phone."

What the hell??

"Will I get it back?"
"Yes, you will. We don't need your phone."

Then I asked him when I could get it back. And what does he do? He gets up and walks out of the door! No response at all. Nothing. And I was standing there in his room, wondering if he was going to come back, or if I should go after him. I chose the latter. So I asked him again. He didn't even look at me, he was just walking as fast as he can. Crazy.

He met some lecturer on the way, and he started talking with him. After 15 minutes, when he finished talking, I asked him again. Now, he looks at me and just nods.

"When will I get it back?"
"Hmmm, that's the question."

Well, what's the answer!?!

"Sir when?"
"In a week maybe".

Maybe. A week. I have no clue how to live without a phone. I'm addicted to messaging. I woke up late, coz I don't even have an alarm. The phone was my alarm. Damn. A week. That's crazy. Maybe I should have pleaded and begged for my phone...

I'm going to college on Thursday. I'll go and ask for it again. If he does not give it, I'll have to take my parents to meet him.

The worst day ever?

I had my lab today. We get two experiments, one to write a C program, and another a hardware experiment. I got the C program, but not the hardware. I did a stupid mistake of not including a library file( I included the wrong one, stupid me. No one can get more stupider than that. It totally sucks), and it was not getting compiled properly. Atleast the viva was kind of easy. I KNEW that I was gonna screw up the lab, and i did it. Yay me.

Then after the lab, I was just sitting outside the lab waiting for my friends. The principal came, and he asked me if I have a cell phone. Now, in my college there is this stupid rule which tells that students are not allowed to carry phones. And yes, obviously I had one in my bag. (Another stupid mistake. When there is a rule follow it! Grrrr) . So I just grinned. Then he asked me again," Do you have a phone with you?!". So I had to tell yes. I could have lied and told him that I dont have it with me, but he has checked bags before. And it could be worse for me if I lied and then caught with the phone in my bag.

He asked me to hand over the phone to him. I looked at him with a sad face, telling him I was sorry and that I would NEVER bring it again to college. THEN, my HOD comes along. The Princi asked him to take my phone. The HOD kind of hates me I guess, he looked at me and told me to give the phone to him. And I did. My HOD then walked off (with my phone) with the princi (they are like best buddys or something). Sucks for me.

Later when I found the HOD alone, I went up to him and asked him if I would get my phone back. He said "No way. No, no, no. The princiPAL took it from you, no??( his fav word is no).
"No sir, you took it".
"Yes, yes... I did, But I gave it to him."
"Ughhhh, ok. So should I go and talk to him."
"No no, dont go today. Go tomorrow. He will be in a good mood tomorrow."

So that was it about the phone.

So thats it, you think?? NO. Thats not all. While coming back home I was so tensed about losing my phone and not getting the exp, that I forgot to fill petrol. And yes, the tank became empty on the way and I had to push it till the nearest petrol bunk.

I told my parents about me losing the phone. Dad told me that I was irresponsible. Yup. Thats me. Why the hell did I take it?? I dont take it usually with me, I just keep it in my Kinetic. But today I took it with me. Dumb, dumb mistake.

So this was the worst day ever. Well, not "ever". Atleast I am lucky that I am still alive? Whatever.

Just an update

I had internals going on, which is why I haven't been blogging in like 3 days. Which is a little weird, coz I am somewhat addicted to it already. So the internals: it was ok. I guess I could have done better. Even though I had studied everything the previous night, I managed to forget half of the things. Its a wonder, really. How can I forget when I studied the whole night? Yeah. Right. I should have studied before. I've made this promise to myself so many times, that I'll study the same day when that topic is tought in college. But it didnt happen. And it wont happen either. (*Sigh*)

My lab exams are on monday. And I still have to mug up the programs. I should be doing that tonight. (haha, I am burning the midnight lamp... or the tubelight, whatever) But will I really study tonight? NO. I wont. So what will I be doing then? Waste time (By probably messaging and asking friends if they have studied anything, and coz they have not done anything, even I wont. Simple as that). Obviously. And when will I study? When panic mode sets in my head. (Oh my god! I don't know any program and there is only a day left! How will I finish everything in one day!) Oh well hopefully I'll come to my senses now and study.

This whole post is made up of the word 'study'. Damn. Someone reading this blog must think I am a nerd.

College is fun...

... when we don't attend classes! Its fun otherwise also, but its much better when there are no classes.

There is this ma'am who takes a subject for us. Everybody just hates her. It seems like her hobby is to screw student's lives. For example, she does not give marks if the handwriting is not good. Which is ridiculous. She does not allow students to enter the class once she enters the class, even if you are one second late! But its totally fine if she comes late by half an hour and keeps us waiting for her. She is also very stupid. To explain one simple thing that everybody already knows, she will take half an hour, but for something that nobody knows, she needs just 5 minutes.

So me and 4 of my friends decided to do something to irritate her today. She had entered the computer lab and left her shoes outside. Now, outside our lab, there is a notice board. We put one of her shoes there. The other shoe was put behind a table, where she could not see the shoe. Ha!! So when she would come out, she would find one of the shoe on display on the notice board, and she would not find the other. Damn. I just wish we could be standing there to see her reaction. It would have been awesome. But we were too scared to be hanging outside the lab, where she could see us. So we all went back home.

I will miss college when I finish it. Just 4 more months more. It seems like life would get monotonous when we start working. I'm not sure about this, coz obviously I've not done it yet. But it can't be better than college life.

Done with college for this sem

So college is over. By that I mean, I will stop going to college, so that I can study at home. From tomorrow.

But then again I have to go to college on friday because I have to do the lab. We should have finished all the lab work by now, but we got all the programs and the kits yesterday. This really sucks. Now I have just a week to mug up those programs (don't have time to understand them. I still have to learn the syntax.) What I don't understand is that why my department didn't give all of this when college started when we had time to do the lab. Whats the point of doing a lab at the last moment. Now I'll just mug those programs(around 15 of them... some running upto 3 pages) and vomit all of it in the lab. We have a great education system running here. Don't even get me started on the exams.

Yeah, I am in a bad mood. Dunno why. Maybe coz of all the tension thats around me. Sometimes, even if I am relatively calm without worrying about anything, people around me can say something - and WHAM!! I get tensed. Its what happened today. We were just doing the lab, when one of my friends started talking about how big the programs are, and how many programs are there. I just freaked after coming back home. Not in college, but at home. Its weird, I was fine the whole day in college. I worry for no reason. And I know it.

I'm Sick :(

Yes, I caught a cold yesterday. Suddenly. I just started sneezing, and could not stop. And with it I also got headache. The headache's so bad that it even hurts to blink my eyes. I know, I know, I should probably see a doc, but I hate taking medicines. So I guess I'll just wait until it goes away.

Now, why did I have to get sick now? And how did I catch that cold? I didn't even eat anything outside. And as far as I know, no one I talked to had a cold. I just hope it goes away soon. I should be happy that I don't get sick too often. Touch-wood. Did you touch any wood? Touch it now!! Lol.

Guinness World Records

I was watching the guinness world records on axn today, and I realised what a waste of time it is. Then I browsed their website, and read about a guy who memorized 2,808 playing cards which were shuffled! He took 11 hours 42 minutes to memorize them, and 3 hours 30 minutes to recite them in the exact sequence with just 8 errors. Whats the whole point?! Yeah, sure he can remember the order of the cards. But what exactly did this guy achieve by doing that? He could have done so much more in that amount of time. I admit though... he must be having loads of patience. I could never do it.

Exams / Kinetic

Exams are from 2nd Jan. And I have not studied anything. Effectively I have 20 days left, coz I also have internals and practicals before that. 20 days, that is just 3 days per subject.(have 6 subjects) I have no idea how I will finish the portions. Gotta finish 100 marks by then. On top of it, all the subjects that I have this semester are theory, so I'll be needing more time to even read them. Forget learning them. This semester too, just like the ones before, I've managed not to study. Atleast if I start now, I can manage to finish everything. All a waste. Most of the subjects that we study in engineering is a total waste. I'm hoping to start studying today itself. (Yeah, I have high hopes :D)

On other news, I got my kinetic from servicing, and that guy has totally screwed it up. Now, whenever I slow down and apply brakes, the engine switches off! This problem was not there earlier before I gave it for servicing. So have to go and give it for servicing again tomorrow. Another day of buses and auto's. Hopefully I'll get it back in 15 minutes or so...

Gonna start studying now.

Bad day

Yeah, today was a bad day. I got ready to college, and was about to leave home. [ I go to college by Kinetic]. And I see that my kinetic is like stuck there! It just would not move. I mean, when you lock a 2 wheeler, you turn the front part to the left. I could not make it straight. Weird.

So anyways, had to catch 2 buses to finally reach college. Missed a class coz of that. Missing a class does not really sound bad, but I lost attendance :( . That sucks.

The bus ride was so horrible. There were so many people in that damn bus. I was standing in the edge of the step. I almost thought I would fall down. And that stupid conductor was telling me to go inside. Where was I supposed to go? Should I go and stand on those people (who are already jam packed)? It was ridiculous. I could have taken another bus. But I was already late. And the bus was stopping at every stop, to take more people. Crazy.

We need more buses. Maybe they should make smaller buses that those long ones. Atleast the traffic would move faster then.

Credit Card

Yup. Got my very own credit card today (*dances*). I'm excited. I wanna go shopping now. Hehehe.

So, I got a job, AND a credit card. What else do I need!

Right. I have to study (*sigh*)

Rasmus is coming here!

One of my favourite bands, Rasmus, is coming here!!! Too bad, my parents won't let me go. Only coz it'll get too late by the time I go to their concert and get back home. Not fair. Oh well, if I could, I would go. Wanna stand in the front row, and enjoy a damn concert. It would be a really cool thing to do.



I've heard only 1 album:Dead letters, and its great!

My favourite Rasmus songs:
First day of my life
Still standing
In my life...

Oh ok! I like the WHOLE album. Can't help it. Its really good!

I love alternative rock. Rasmus is one of the bands who do an awesome job at it. Their concert would be really amazing. Damn, I wish I could go.

I got placed!

Yeah! I rock!

After interviews for so many companies... I finally got placed yesterday. Hmmm, nice feeling.

I wrote the test, hoping that I would pass it. I did. Then came the interview part. I was a little nervous, but I had told myself that I could not screw this one up. I had to do it right. So anyways, had 2 interviews. The 1st one was ok. They asked me a puzzle. Didn't get it right. But I gave an answer that was not technically correct, but it was an answer I guess. It made them laugh. Funny. And me. Hehe... Normally I would have never said it, I don't even know why I said it. But I did. Weird. They then told me to wait outside. After 2 minutes, a guy came and told me that I had cleared the 1st interview, and that I had to go in for the next one.

So, I went in. By this time, I was a little more confident. He told me to get inside the room. He asked me general questions. He asked me about my studies, and I was telling him about it. Suddenly, he interrupted me and said, "We will be offering you the job". And he proceeded to write my name in the offer letter. All this while, I just wanted to get up and jump and scream.

Then he said so many things, half of which I hardly remember. I am so elated even now. I started smiling then, and I'm STILL smiling. After almost 22 hours. Awesome feeling. Finally a job. So, anyway, then I got out of the interview room... and my friends were waiting outside. And then treat. Though I could hardly eat. I guess I was in some other world. Went back home. Called some more friends.

Wow. Nice feeling. Damn. Can't stop saying it. Hehe...

I have waited a long time for this moment. This is my time.

I saved a life!!

Well, not really. But I donated blood today in my college. Feeling good. Arm's paining a little though. I guess that's normal. I have always wanted to do something like this. Could not donate before coz I was underweight (*Ahem*). Ah. Feels nice. Somebody's life is saved coz I donated blood today.

Life is so unfair

He wanted to be a painter. His father did not approve, and he made it clear to his son. But he went on and became a painter anyway. Years pass by, and the two don't talk to each other. The son becomes a very famous painter.

And one fine day, the father dies. The son does not want to even go to his father's funeral. His step mom asks him to go to his father house one last time to pay the final respects. So the son goes. He enters his father's room and sees that the room is filled with his paintings! He looks at his step mom with tears in his eyes. She tells him that his father has been buying them ever since he started painting. He asks her why his father didn't tell him about it. She says that he wanted to, he just thought that there is more time left before he died. He just hugs her and cries his heart out.

Funny classmate

This happened in college a few days back:

We were all talking about Google earth, and I was telling how I saw my house in it. So this classmate of mine (who's not really dumb, well, you can say she is not computer literate...lol. ), asks me how to install it in the computer etc, etc.. So I told her.
She went back home.
She "tried" to install it.
She FINALLY installed it.
And she calls me.

Friend: Hey, I can see the globe. Now what to do?
Me (really bored): You have to zoom in.
Friend: How??
Me: You see the plus sign there?
Friend:Yeah
Me: click on it...
Friend: Oh. ok

So she puts the phone down. And I guess she tried it out.
Later (after about 10 minutes) she calls me again!

Friend: Hey I'm not finding my house da.
Me: huh???
Friend: I'm not finding my house!!!
Me: I dunno where you stay so I can't really tell you.
Friend (very disappointed): Oh ok...

And the phone is put down.

Next day she comes to me and says, "Thanks for telling me all about it... it was really cool". So I said that it was not a problem. Then she tells me that she finally found her house. And then she told me: (get this!), "It was so real. I told my brother to go on the terrace and wave.If I had a high tech computer, I could have seen him !!!!"

Yeah! I died laughing!

The computer

Yes!! The computer is still here. I guess my parents were just trying to scare me, by telling that they'll move it to their room. Oh! I got really scared alright! It manages to scare me every damn time.

I'm gonna go and study now...

Tests

Like I already said, I have my tests from thursday. I have 6 subjects. Out of this, I have managed to study only one. ONE!! Only one. I have no clue as to how I will be finishing the portions. But I know its gonna be a tough time.I have to complete 5 subjects in 2 days. Impossible task??? Not for me it isn't!!! I have no choice but to do it, and finish it. Times like this, I feel I should have taken an easy branch. But its fine. Just one more year to go anyway. I can't wait for this to get over. Can't wait.

Pissed

Yeah, I'm pissed. My parents are moving the computer to their room, coz I apparently spend too much time on it. It sucks. Apparently I don't study enough. So no more playing pool on the net, no more getting online whenever I want, and no more listening to songs. Damn.

So I have a test on thursday. Still have to study for that. Dunno when I'll do it though. I didnt do well last time, so I'll have to study and do well this time atleast. But I guess it'll go fine, coz there will be no computer to distract me. Oh well. I'm still pissed.

I'm gonna sleep now.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Yay! I'm so happy that F.R.I.E.N.D.S season 10 is gonna be aired on tv soon. I can't wait. Its one of my favourite shows. I still watch the reruns of the show- even though I've seen them so many times already.

My Lifestyle

I just thought I'd say why the blog is called "My Lifestyle". Its really stupid. I was listening to a song called lifestyles of the rich and famous by Good Charlotte while I was getting the blog. The song was like stuck in my head! I know, I know it does not make any sense. But at that moment it made perfect sense. Love that song though.

I'm freeze. Don't even ask why. You don't wanna know.

My First Post!

Yes!!! I finally got a blog!

I've been reading blogs for quite a while now, and I finally decided to start one of my own. Its gonna be all about my lifestyle, what I do, what I like, blah blah blah...

Oh well... I'm so excited!! Wheeeeee!!!

Ya all, please leave comments! I need to know what you think about my blog.
