Tennis Finally @ SB

The weather is getting better, and I finally put my racquet to use today. I got a tennis raquet within the first couple of weeks. But I hardly got a chance to play because I could not find someone who could teach me (I cant play tennis), and after I played for the first time, I realized I cant play for nuts.






So today, temp being arnd 8 degree, and having managed to convince a friends to play with me, I implemented my tennis skills I learnt from my TV gurus :p. We played for one whole hour, both were running a lot, I was trying to reach the ball everytime and my friend was running behind the ball which I was consistently hitting outside the courts. The only thing I could manage to do well was to spin the ball (hitting the ball slowly close to the net with the raq held at an angle is what I call __spin__).

Tiring game.. too tired.. good night!!

Cake desperation

Last night I did something which I would not have done, had I been in India.
It was a friend's b'day (by the end, you will realize who he was) and my labmate was gonna "cake bake". And then, when he described what all he was gonna add, my mouth started watering. So he suggested that I come for the b'day.

Now all I knew about the birthday boy was his name. And I still decided to go and wish him. However, before I wished him, I had to introduce myself :p. And then I had MY SHARE of the cake.

dont rely on the free goodies

Last week I was very excited about the job fair, not for the companies/interns/etc., but because of the goodies I would get. I had high hopes since I missed it all the prev sem, untill I was told that the main funda of the job fair was to collect as much as goodies as possible.

So I reached the fair on time, just when it started. I collected many things ;). But then when I sat to see the loot, I was quite upset. I got two USB, the one which looked good was 250Mb, and the other which looked horrible was 1Gb. Anyways, all good.

I got a couple of T-shirts, one read S, which I changed to M (M was the largest they had). When I tried to wear them the next day, I had a feeling I was putting on weight.

The worst part is this. I was in my lab early today, was debugging some assembly code and had to note down some memory addresses. All the pens I found handly, dint work, they just left some scatch marks on the paper. And needless to say, all these pens I got from the JOB FAIR!!!

adjusting to daylight

Had a tough time today with the time moving an hour ahead because of Daylight saving, something I am still to understand. My submission was pre-poned by an hour [a bliss ;) ] and then had to force my self to sleep an hour early so that I could get up early and go to the lab.

Nothing worked out well today.. no sleep, no proper lunch, no dinner. :(
