Post Sem3 Vacations: Day 1

Finally, the third and the most backbreaking semester (yet) has come to an end. As for academics, well my cg has improved ever so slightly. I have moved out of the 8.6 bracket and scored an 8.7755 this semester. It would have been better if I hadn’t missed an 8 in EEL 201 (Digital Electronics) by a whisker. I do take some plus points from this sem. I finally have a steady quizzing team (me, Sidharth and Gaurav aka Gainda) and we have started making the cut in most non-comp events in IITD. And, my pool skills showed vast improvement towards the end of this sem. Also, I have put on some weight this semester, though I still think it is not enough for people to start calling me pregnant.

Anyways, after a grueling December, i have finally found time to update my blog, maybe i will make this a daily thing this vacations. So here goes the first of my daily digest :

I’d start off with what I love the most when I come home i.e eating and sleeping. So, after sleeping for more than 10 hours, I had my favorite Dal Parathas for breakfast, complete with malai and milk. For lunch, I had authentic Punjabi Sarson ka Saag and Makki ki roti, with adrak ka achar and gur (just thinking of it is making my mouth water). And dinner, was of awesome seviyan that i ate too much of for my own good. The rest of the day was interspersed with me having generous doses of pinniyan.

Ok, now for the rest of the day. First, found out that for some reason internet is not working on my ubuntu even though it is connected to the wireless network. Maybe, i will fix that tomorrow. Then spent the morning and afternoon watching season 1 of The Bing Bang Theory. Really liked the characters-ultimate nerdy. Sheldon is a real laugh. Though Raj has stereotype written all over him. Will catch up with the rest of the episodes in the days to come.

Read some linear algebra in the evening. Hopefully, will be done with binomial forms in a couple of days. Will start with Hilbert spaces after that. The night was spent writing this entry and chatting with friends.

I think that I beginning to like the pattern emerging. Maybe I will add a nap in the afternoon. I’d like to time it to match the hour long power cut. Thats all for today.

ToDo for tomorrow:

  • Wake up for gym
  • Solve internet problem in Ubuntu
  • Get a haircut
  • Register for TOEFL
  • Start with Bilinear Forms
  • Start looking for summer interns
