So another stint at home comes to an end. It’s funny how
time just keeps on rolling and rolling like a ball of yarn going down a slope. No
matter what happens, it just keeps on frickin’ rolling. My stay this time was
all about spending quality time with my sister before she flies off to
Singapore, watching Breaking Bad
relentlessly all night, trying to edit videos and dealing with all sorts of
technical stuff (I swear to god Premiere Pro is sucking the soul out of me.
What’s with all these codecs and softwares and formats and pixels?! Urgh! ) and
lots and lots of unhealthy food binges at night.
On an unrelated note, does anybody know how to get rid of
tummy fat without going through those painful sit up exercises? I just gulped
down two huge slices of cheese burst pizza WITH, mind you, WITH a big glass of
coke. Why can’t the fat just spread out over my arms and legs instead of
settling down in my stomach?
(The previous two lines were said with a lot of enunciation,
gesticulations and tone changes. I wish I could say it out here.)
This is my last night at home where I don’t have to
worry about the next day. And where I have uninterrupted internet access all
night. Back at the hostel, mostly all fun sites get blocked at 2 AM, so you
pretty much have to go and sleep. But I’m so looking forward to college. The
monsoons are in full swing there, what with those erratic rain showers and the
lush green valleys I so love. And the peacocks are dancing around and little
chocolate frogs are going to muck about in the pools of water! Fun!
I’m also looking forward to meeting everyone after so long,
listening to their internship experience, attending guest lectures again,
complaining about the time table and the whole shebang. Home is nice, but it
starts to get boring when you can’t complain about how busy you are and how you
don’t have time for yourself anymore. Taking time out for yourself then, is the
best time you can have.
Even though I worked quite a bit during my internship, most
of the times I was pretty much in this state:
My supervisor wrote that I need to be more outgoing in my evaluation
form. Me? Outgoing? How did that happen? I know the people at work were not the friendliest people in the world, but at one point of time I stopped trying. Completely. I need to break out of my shell. I
really do!
I want to go back with an empty mind. I want to experiences
things in a completely different way. I want to be a better person than I was last year.
I want to learn and grow. I have a good feeling about going back. Yeah I just
realized, I say that everytime, right? It’s like all my going-back-to-college
posts sound the same. And once I’m there, all the positivity and enthusiasm jumps
out the window in a matter of days. But no more! I’m seriously going to make
the most of this year. I’ll take part in everything I can, be pro-active and
build my portfolio. (Okay, one part of my brain is already shaking its head. Oh
boo! There’s no space for negativity this time!)
Okay fine, without making any grandiose promises to myself,
I’ll just do whatever I can in order to squeeze out every good thing this college
can offer me. And I will do a night out. And I will play at least one sport. (Does dancing count? No? Okay aerobics?) And I will visit the awesome plateau place everyone keeps talking about. Most
of all, I’ll be happy. I will, right? Yeah, I will. Will I? I will!
Goodbye till then!
P.S. My next post will be from up those spectacular hills.
And I’ll be sitting next to my window which hopefully (fingers and toes and
body crossed) will have the sensational view I want. And clouds will be
floating in. And my new roommate will get me a cup of hot chocolate (too hopeful? Okay man I'll make it. I just want the hot chocolate in the picture. And maybe some Nutella) and we’ll
share cookies together. And life will be goooooood :3
