New Year and the Plan

As I'm sitting here listening to some sweet tunes on my Pandora - Somewhere In Time station (going to start a music blog). I felt it was appropriate to start this up again, and start it all right. So here's to the New Year and to the Plan (outlined further below)! I'm kind of excited for this semester, because I have lots of things to do, and I have yet to give up. I keep getting down because the running around gets intense, but I got this!!!

So what is this 'the Plan', well people may call it a resolution, but I think it's a bit to specific for being a resolution. Plus, when I say I'm doing 'the Plan' it just sounds cooler. I can just imagine people nodding their heads in disgust.

Anyways, the Plan:
  • Don't miss more than 1 day a week of classes
  • Pay attention in class, no surfing
  • Start homework as soon as its assigned
  • DO HOMEWORK!!
  • Do not drop out on your commitments (work/research/extracurriculars)
  • Have a blast!! Meet people, go out, do things!!
One sec folks a quick pep talk: so it's a really basic plan, but now that it's written, you MUST follow it Sravan, or else....the fist that doesn't like you (right or left?) is going to say "Hallo"...watch out.


Anyways, basic plan, tough to follow through. So here we go Spring 2011 and to the rest of life. Makin it happen!

Back at It - Recap Fall 10

It's been a while since I wrote anything. In fact, a New Year came by between the time I last wrote and now. I'm going to make this blog a summary of what happened between that time, essentially a recap. Firstly, last semester was by no means a spectacular, in fact it was pretty bad. It was hard to remake college friends, and I ended up spending a lot of time just me and Hulu.com. I think that's what really killed my social life, my grades, my extracurriculars. Life's a big huge classroom, isn't it?

Fall 10, was a pretty bad semester/half of the year, I didn't make many friends/kept in touch with old ones. I did horrible in all of my classes, not even just one, all of them. Broke my ties with my research group and spent soo much money on top of the tuition that my parents are paying for now. The worst part of it all, is that it's a record stuck there forever, and every time, I think of it...it was, to summarize, a very depressing semester. Nonetheless. New Year's (and semesters and even days) call for change. I haven't eaten Papa John's in forever (and I plan to keep it that way).

I'm actually glad I went through that, because now I had my time to suck it up. So better get to it. I'm going to start a new post for the New Year's plans.
