Junior Year

I just woke up at 6 am having slept at 5 am. Not a thing you do normally, but at the end of the most wild and insane quarter and equally so year, it is no surprise. A near impossible quarter was conquered last night before I danced away at an EBF party till 3 am and later watched a movie with my beloved Varvex and Vanya.

All of this came after a quarter that had :

Battle of the Bands at Phi Psi and calling the Swiss Consulate at 1 am.

A lab assignment that just refused to work for 15 days and got done epically in 5 hours once a reset signal was fixed.

Special Dinner 5-2.

An impossible RF project that Prof. Tom Lee conceded was impossible and one which took up 150+ hours.

Two 300 level classes. My first foray into the 300s.

A considerable shoot in partying.

Quarter-Finals of IM Footy -best ever in spring.

More than 20 all nighters. A record for the quarter.

The end of Lost =(

Soaking in the life on Montogomery St. in San Fransisco.

Lots of logistical nightmare.

3 monster final projects.

Much less time in my room, much more time in Packard.

Being the 2nd official castaway in the original draw group of 1933.

BOB (#314) for 2010-2011. \m/

Back to being the playa!

United dethroned after 3 years. Sigh.

The historic treble by the Special One.

Nadal rightfully reclaimed his throne at Roland Garros.

Home, Family, Friends and the World Cup! (soon =P)

Its been an epic quarter and I have loved every bit of it! Junior year of spring will definitely go down as the most intense, fast-paced yet fun quarter at Stanford. And I know, I have claimed every quarter has been this way, but this one is second to none.

Quoting Pablo Neruda - "You can cut all the flowers, but you can't stop spring from coming."

And Oh boy! didn't spring come like never before =)

  2. Just saw this, JD =)
    It was a rush of feelings after the year ended and this was written probably an hour before I turned in the keys and left for home.
