"There might not be anyone who was born with a reason. I think that everyone might have to find one on their own. A reason for being born, a reason that it's okay to be alive, a reason to exist. I think everyone might have to find it for themselves, and decide it for themselves. It could be your dreams, your job, or a person. The reason you're looking for might be vague, unclear, and uncertain, but as long as you're alive, you have to keep searching for that reason."
- Tohru, fruits basket
Konnichiwa, mina-san. (Its japanese, look it up ). So, from the last time I wrote, the world has turned every day, and mine has moved a little forward. The first sessionals have gone by- my worst fear came true, and I DID get addicted to coffee 0.o It just u makes u feel so awake!! and in my case-well-happy. It was amazing what a powerful hold it had on me. It made me smile before a math exam!! However, in the end, it was just the high, and I learnt to my dismay that happiness bought in a cup doesn't last very long, and can't really compensate....
As for the sessionals, I messed up pretty bad. >.> apparently I'm better of procrastinating instead of studying ahead and then daydreaming just before the exam >.<.
Studies have taken a whole different meaning now. They... balance stuff out. In the middle of trying to find my centre, another lesson I learnt was that if there's something like studying to plague you regularly, your more inclined to appreciate the time you have to spend doing things you like.Its also a useful distraction for when you want to do fun stuff but are prevented from doing them.
Here is one of life's truth's - As hard as it is to accept something bad about yourself, sometimes its more difficult to learn something good about you.
There are times when the magic seems a little unbelievable, when its very easy to simply scoff and be moody. Times when you wish you simply didn't care.I also learn that the price comes later, and its certainly not worth it. I have barely gotten used to being 18, but somehow, I continue to try and grow everyday, while maintaining the wonder I always cherished. Fruits basket is an amazing support in such a case, with the most amazing advice and life philosophies.
I'm trying to move ahead, though I continue to be a little left of centre. Also, despite my best efforts, I caught myself thinking of the future. In just a few months, we'll be in our sencond year of college (and Saumy will be 20, as she hates to be reminded :P) There's so much to do, so very little time :D
Until the next blurb (blog),

Instant Noodles- College Staple Diet
"I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it." XD
*slinks into spot light and blinks owlishly* Okay, okay! So its been a long time since I last wrote, but hey! College is a whirlpool. You get caught and dragged into this whole new storm. I'm finally getting used to it, even if it did take me *cough* an entire semester. (ooh, I had the time to turn 18 too :D)
Its amazing though. I've had a lot of crazy, fun moments in my life, but I've never had so many so close together before. Classes aside (long hours of mind-numbing boredom) I love college. My friends are on various levels of crazy (we should have our own criteria!) There's always some event or the other going on. You meet more people every day (for an introvert like me, this a wonder second only to the concept of morning walks). You laugh more, learn more, live more. Its exhilarating.
There are some things, however, that are thrown into stark contrast when you live on your own in hostel. The never ending travesty of doing your own laundry, for example. oh, and mom's home cooked food. I must have complained a million times in my short life that mom's cooking became boring too soon, and that I must order food from outside. Life, being the evil sadist it is, makes me regret it now.
And missing your best friends? Now there's something that won't ever go away, no matter how much you enjoy yourself everyday. Its like a part of you.
Its still a little hard to believe that I'm already in my second semester of college. It started of with a bang (not a good one. More like an old car backfiring really) But its looking up now. Physics cycle- as it is appropriately described by generations of students- sucks. Workshop is a debacle I'd rather not talk about.
Surprisingly, the most interesting class turns out to be Engineering Graphics (or maybe its the fact that I'm actually not so much of a hopeless twit when it comes to E.G. :p ) Our B.E. teacher is Hades personal torturer, people. We pray a meteorite hits him soon.
Oh,ya! In the Grumpy's words, I am now an I-person. Yes, I have a brand new, 160 GB, BLACK Ipod classic!!! I love that slab of pure heaven. With all my songs and fav videos, its my life jacket in the sea of eternal teenage angst. My world revolves around it (along with my laptop that is. They're a binary system :p).
Current obsession- F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Yes, I know its so old that its almost passe. But I have a soft spot for Chandler *pouts*
Well, that's the end of this round of nonsense shots.Having re-discovered my pen, (and penchant for well-worded sarcasm) I'll probably be blogging again soon (yea, I'm talking to you, dust bunnies) There will be plenty of material here in M.I.T after all.
