All work and no play

Ooops.. is it already 20th.. I just can't believe it !!!
I just realised that its been around two weeks since I updated my blog..

Its the same assignments, class work , midterms... Having a totally dysfunctional routine... Can't remember when I last got up.. when I last went home.. when I last ate and stuff.. Ofcourse, I am taking utmost care to keep myself in good health... as instructed by almost everyone of those who has contacted me.. :)

The only off-campus event that I was involved in the past fortnight was one trip to the Mall of America... The bus is a 40 minute drive from my campus and is located near the Airport.
The trip as such was really "delightful".It was a semi rainy day and was already half hour into the journey did we realise that we were heading the entire opposite direction. We landed there some one hour later than we were supposed to be. It was me, Prahlad and Vivek.
It was very obvious why it was supposed to be the biggest mall in America. The first thing that we saw about was the parking spot where I couldn't see both the ends standing on one side. And this was just one of the six parking levels. And this was the one on the east side and there was one on the west side too.

It would take someone 15 minutes to walk on the circular corridor of one level - i.e. if you are not gazing into the shops or buying anything. There are four such levels and you name something and you would have it there. As usual we went window shopping the "spencers style" inspite of the fact that I had received the first pay for my project on that day. When we came back it was midnight. Take a look at the pictures that I have added to my yahoo photos. Shall put more photos incase I get some actually good ones.. :P

The computer at home is getting healthier by the day.. now with the new speakers that Prahlad has added to it.

Went to the temple one day in between. I don't remember if I told you about the temple here. The Hindu Mandir. It is actually a remodelled church and you would be surprised to find that there are so many Indians who come there.

The only other exciting event that happened apart from all this was the "so called snow" this sunday. We could see some small flakes and little ice cubicles at around 5 pm. A bunch of us were busily working on our assignments when we heard the information about the snow. The way we rushed to the road with our jerkins on was the typical "pattikattan patnatha patha" style.. People were looking at us mysteriously... their looks almost said "Wait guys.. few months from now I will definitely hear you screaming "NO MORE SNOW"... " .. It generaly snows until mid march starting mid november itseems. Phew...

There has been absolutely no progress with regards to the assistantship.. Something that could have taken a lot off the shoulders... If there is anything positive, the lack of it has made me be so busy that I have had little time to be home sick.

Things shall move on... Shall update the blog more frequently..
