Hey friends,
The time has come again for the schools to start and the only way I can define it is by saying that it's going to be a big storm this semester. The moments right now are just the calm before the actual storm hits :p. Well I was enjoying my one month break and going back to classes just seems ....somewhat hard...specially knowing that I will be taking 3 courses this semester including my masters project that too with full time work...Yikes! Yes, yes...I know I am little crazy but I am almost done people. If I finish these 3 things with good grades, I will be graduating with my masters degree this May 2010. When I started my masters, I didn't know when and how I was going to finish it, I didn't even know if I was going to continue after the first 2 semesters assuming I wouldn't be really into going back to school. But believe me, time has flown by and I'm into my 5th semester...I can't imagine how fast all these semesters have gone by. Once I started classes in Spring 2007, I realized how much I missed the college...the classroom environment...meeting new people and making new friends....No..I didn't miss the homeworks, exams, quizes...etc. But I loved going back and that's what made these 4 semesters fun and exciting with my friends whom I met from my first 2 semesters. I just need to get through these 4 months now and I will be like a free bird :)...sorta.
So I have taken somewhat advantage of this 1 month break from school. I watched Avatar in 3D, great movie, great experience. This movie makes you realize how humans torture and destroy the mother nature for their own selfishness. If you haven't seen it, go ahead and experience it yourself. I also watched 3 idiots in the same weekend with my brother....great movie, great laughter, even better performances and for more read my entry on 3 idiots movie and music review. My dear friend had come from Seattle so got some time to catch up with her and we went to see Sherlock Holmes. Another good movie, Robert Downey Jr. is a great actor and really funny. I haven't seen any of his other movies but I am sure he's just as fantastic and sarcastic as he seems in this one....he seems very natural and specially got to love the way he moves when he talks....I think I am getting carried away...but do catch him in Sherlock Holmes when you get the chance. Ohh and btw, he won the best actor award at Golden Globe Awards on Sunday Jan. 17th where his speech was amazingly funny so you don't want to miss that.
Um...what else? The season 8 of 24 (last season) started on Sunday too....well I was switching back and forth between the 24 and golden globe awards...I hate it when they have two things you want to watch at the same time ...grrr. Well I managed to catch both of them...or at least 24 for sure and caught the right parts of golden globe :p. 24 this time has the plot in New York for a change and it's def. got a different feel to it. Anil Kapoor is playing the President of Middle East and was looking dashing as President Omar Hassan. Jack Bauer is back in action. I'm not liking the new team of CTU specially the head of CTU who has done nothing but made wrong decisions that has merely killed people...luckily Chloe is there to save the day. Renae is brought back to run an undercover operation and she has seem to taken the role of Jack for being ruthless agent who would go to any limits to torture the suspect. I am sensing that if the team of CTU is not up to their marks, Chloe, Jack and Renae are enough to take over and run their way. Sorry folks if you are not into 24, the last paragraph might sound like a foreign language to you, but I'm into this show and I have seen all of its seasons and I also am anxiously awaiting for the movie that will basically close the 24 show. But let's not go there!
That's it for now. I will keep you posted on how the classes go and how my days are with ups and downs of new classes. Take care and keep reading :).
