Got my first pay check today :). In other news, worked on some code for the picture page. Shaping up well, though I don’t have any pictures yet.

Disconnected desi? Is that a good thing? I think yes. I should have been here much earlier. Somehow I fit in easier here than where I should be logically. Weird but true.

Not entered anything for the past 10 days or so. Nothing major happening. Had last Monday “off”, it being M.L.K (Martin Luther King) day. There were some events organized, though I had some work to get done. The theme for this year’s celebrations […]

Site’s moved out of beta and the transition seems complete. Now I’m officially a GSRA at the ME department :D. My brother can dream of college and my parents needn’t end up on the streets.

Fridays are good. No classes no nothing. Not really nothing, but pretty much. Had my first “meeting” as a GSRA and have my work cut out for me over the weekend. Heard that my B.E degree certificate has arrived. Cool, I’m officially an […]

Haven’t had the time to updated this in a while. Decided to do it while calculating some Green’s function gradients for strain. Anyway, Mathematica still bugs me at times.
Finished most of […]

Told amma and appa about the suddenly improved financial situation. They seem very happy.
But, is it only me who manages to see things in the negative, ok, not so positive way […]

Saw this dialogue on a sitcom yesterday. Have to add it to my “safe”, it sounds like it’ll come in handy someday.
“Saw this and thought of you. See everything and think […]

Told my roomies the news last night. I had to, it came up in a conversation. Not yet told Amma and Appa though, won’t until I see it “physically” in wolverine access. In another weird money making scheme, you’d expect the fine on […]

Already missed one day on these journal updates. Yes, I’m a busy man. Getting all excited thinking about the prospects of financial assistantship and hope this isn’t a false alarm like last time. I really do. Anyway, feeling all good with myself and […]

My second sem begins at the U of M. Taking the initial weeks of low(er) work to recode the guts of the site. It’s currently in beta and complete operation is not guaranteed.

First day of my second semester here at the U of M. It wasn’t as exciting as my first day, which is obvious I suppose. Had two classes today, and I’m definitely dropping the second one. This leaves me with just the three […]

Another slow day. Spent most of the day messing around with the college of engineering course bulletin, wolverine access and pestering people in an attempt to figure out my courses for next term. Currently, I’ve sort of finalized ME - 512 - Theory […]

Back in college. Writing this from the (not so) famous grad. lounge (a room, but it’s got an Ethernet port and that’s all that matters). Return signifies work and should cause me to hmm.. react in a very different way from what I […]

Finally convinced myself to attempt to maintain one of these again. It’s a new year, and I figured why not make some changes? Well, let’s just see how long I can keep this up once school starts. Yes it’s a day or two […]
