The Year gone by...

In a very introspective mood, I look back at the year 2005, a year of definite highs and lows both globally and in my personal life, it has definitely been one more enlightening year. So, as a beginning to my ranting, thought I would go by the past year and see what happened..

January: Not a bad start to the new year, as I went back to toronto and the basic fact that i passed CIV 101 - structures and material design... man undoubtedly this comes a close 3rd on the list of worst courses i've taken so far (there have been only 15!) here in 3 semesters at U of T... BAD BAD BAD and i think its the prof that made it 10 times worse! Passing thing was the best thing to happen this month... and ummm maybe the pool on republic day at New College, that was fun too!

February: Midterm season for second semester started with some ok-ok midterms and some lousy ones, however it was a good month. First with the Havana Lounge party, probably first time we all went out clubbing, who cares it was a lousy club and who cares if we were stuck downstairs doing nothing, but it was a fun night... esp at chestnut with saurabh and his wonderful 'comments' about all of us and the whole vikram sharma's expression and I think my first all nighter at uni!!! then the reading week, it flew so fast that it was before it started, best part of the week being me colouring my hair (ya..thts how sad it got!) but the best part of the whole month had to be going to windsor to see Sandeep and Lyz and meeting Prashant there who had taken all the trouble to come from UMich just to meet us...It was fun at windsor, us 4 and Meher. We gals sure had fun kicking the guy's ass at poker!!

March: Started B A D, what with prashant leaving and me getting results of MIE100 Dynamics midterm and my first and second APS103 (i forgot the name of the course now!) back.. it was worse than bad, it was a disaster !! Dynamics or Mechanics was such a bad course that I am glad its over, it comes 2nd in the worst courses... it is also reputed at u of t for being one of the most flunked course, boy I know why... That course made me hate newton with a burning passion! and as for APS103, it was such a bad course that it tops the list...I still dont get the point of that course.. it begins by saying that engineering is useless and then concludes saying that world is useless without engineers!!! We were lucky that we got Karimi inplace of Vanderburg, who had a great reputation for flunking half his class... and the best part fo this course were classes in con hall, atleast we can sleep in peace!! Month ended on a great note

April: Exams and more exams... have nothing more to say about this month!! Oh, the highlight was the ping pong ball tournament between Raihan and Poornima vs Gaurav and Me.. Killer game!!

May: Hmm... so many things in this one month..went to US.. West Virginia.. beautiful place.. felt like I was on heaven... trip to the US was uneventful.. and then with in 24 hrs, made a 24 hr journey back to Dubai!! It was great to be back home after 4 months especially after meeting every1 at sandeep's place and then at BITs.. I still remember sandeep's pulao !! May was a good month...

June - August: Had to group them together, coz they were holidays and pretty boring as they were long... not to mention that I was ridiculously busy with Work at City Times first and then at Oceanic, and ofcourse my driving debacle...but then...there were moments of fun... Anju's b'day... sleep over at Nandi's place... and ofcourse the 'party of the year' at Anju's house before every1 left was awesome...the summer break was a great way to get back into the 2nd year groove... Love u guys for making the summer break SO special!

Sept: Back to toronto, for Second year... more on that in future blogs !!!
