Farewell to the Paid Holiday

Beginning of the end has started. Last night I was marking the exams till 4am... all done. With that, this being the last semester, my work commitments for the school are all pretty much completed. Now, it's time to concentrate on being the student. It's nice that I am on the payroll till the end of the September. Also, it is currently looking optimistic that I'll be able to keep my apartment for an extra month and half - till the end of the studies.

It was a fun year with dozen or so of us internationals mingling together at the Block 90, the friendly neighborhood (at times, 'Melrose Place', as Huge proclaimed it to be :). Tomorrow, the 1st one is leaving. The night calls for free flow of beer, and stupidity... there has been quite a few of those lately (again). By the time October starts most of us will be gone, with new ones coming in to take our place.

Couple of Saturdays ago (on the 16th) was the 'Level 8 party- The Finale' (#2, #1). It was a good one. It was nice that David came over from India for a weekend, and Shan joining, though Angilee, Dan and Kevin were on their respective travels. All in all, maybe not the best one, but surely worthy of being the last:

olby, i enjoyed it- thanks. it was certainly good to be back not just for the weekend but simply all the catching up. i could do it again and again. anyway at the risk of a reflection and in the pursuit of telling it from a single perspective aka my own thoughts, it was lovely- you, me, bhai, the place, aunty, uncle etc, the brother from shanghai and unquestionably the lovely ladies.
