and its done!

Cant believe how fast time flies!

I have already come to the end of my B.Ed.... keep thinking this is a dream, and I'm going to wake up and it will be time to go for the inauguration ceremony...

As I sit in my sari, waiting to leave, this past year has been filled up highs and lows, laughter and tears and everything else which comes as a side order with LIFE!

Today is the Valedictory ceremony, we dint take part in the official college convocation ceremony because our semester started later. So next year May if I'm still in Bangalore, I will do the walk, with the whole gown hat etc.

But for now this is my graduation!!!! I know I still have my exams left, but this a big deal! I did it!

Survived!!!!

Christ University is interesting to say the least. It was hard to get back to the whole being a student thing and especially in a place which is such a stickler for rules and regulations..

Looking back at my blog, I realize I never really did a post on college life etc.

Well here goes :)

Being a student was fun again, but honestly I like being on the other side of the table. And now my degree allows me to do that! Can you say Teacher aunty?

I took part in my fair share of events in college - Mono Act, Dumb Charades (yes I am the drama diva)

I became the official designer for the department, worked on the newsletters, brochures, posters etc for the School of Education.

Thanks to all my experience in Kodai and BY's amazing design skills I did learn some thing...

We went on trips, we attended classes, we bunked classes, we submitted assignments (late but never the less), went to the library, googled every thing!

Made friends with people I never expected to do!

All in all, apart from what I was taught in class I learnt a lot...

learnt how to use the Indian loo! (seriously major accomplishment!)

learnt how to wear a sari (properly and now can say I can put on a sari in 8 minutes!)

felt domesticated at times - making my lunch, packing it, watering the plants all in a sari...

felt like crap at times

Frustrated at times...

But overall I'm happy its done!

Dee, Pinks, WC and N came for the function! Surrounded my friends and family I am happy.

While every one else brought one or two guests I came with my whole posse and as one of the teachers very politely put it "They are quite the lively bunch aren't they?"

From taking a million pictures to hooting every time my picture came up on the screen, it was a fun day..

After which we went to our favourite watering hole, High Note for a lovely lunch.

The party continued on at WC's place in the evening, going into the early hours of the morning (as usual :))

I finally came home today 5 days later, after hours of WII and cooking for the boys, the past week has been a blast..

Toodles from the graduate

Teaching aids, a teachers best friend!

and what a weekend it was...

Ah Monday nights, enjoying some down time, with Chinese food, chilled beer at home... this weekend has been packed to say the least!

Friday night, I was official baby sitter for Akku and we had quite the blast. Watched a movie, made Dee's birthday cake and chilled :) I got done with that at 11 and headed to WC's house for what I thought was a quiet evening of poker with the

guys... Walked in the house to find 25 people there and the party in full swing.

Lots of laughter, poker and drinks later, the party finally ended at 9am. Breakfast, movies and

some Xbox later, finally managed to get some sleep at 3pm... only to be woken up at 5 for the next party.

And while I slept the boys played cricket on the xbox... will the fascination for cricket never stop. From playing on the roads, to the comfort of thy home. Technology never ceases to amaze me.

Saturday was Dee's birthday and we had the first official Above The Knee's Party at our place. The party was destined to be great, because I found two day

s earlier I had won a radio competition (yes I do take part in them a lot!)

And what did I win, the alcohol being sponsored for the party!

I do love Radio Indigo... so we were all set for the party...

It was a blast, expected! And around 10pm, in walked in Kenny Jones and SriRam with our goodies...drum roll please...

3 bottles of whiskey

3 bottles of rum

3 bottles of vodka

1 crate beer

1 crate energy drinks

2 hard rock tshirts

2 CD's

and other indigo goodies!!!

Now we were set to Partaaay!!!

Had a blast with the radio indigo RJ's and after a whole lot of drinks, jokes and laughter it was time to bring in the Birthday girls birthday!

The party finally wound up at 3am and I headed back to Ian's with the gang...

Finally some sleep at 5am, after making Maggie and peanut butter sandwiches for all LOL

Sunday was relaxed, waking up at 2 and then spending the rest of the day in bed watching random stuff on TV... just what the doctor ordered.

And the week begins again, my last week in Christ Univers

ity. Graduation is on Friday! WOHOO

Off to bed now at a reasonable hour for once!

And here some pictures from the Winner of the first Radio Indigo Party Patrol :):)
