It has been over 2 months since the woman ( yes I had to say it) took the next big step. It has been a challenging journey to say the least. Time has certainly flown by. Now I am here in Raleigh on a Sunday evening( Oh wait.. 10pm is actually considered night isn't it? Well in graduate life the night has just started!) listening to Wake Up Sid songs on repeat mode, introspecting over the decision made.
It started off with the longgg tiring journey from Bangalore to Raleigh. A group of 20 slightly familiar yet unknown faces set out to take on this trip. Together we experienced a plethora of emotions.. The grief of leaving family and friends behind, the excitement of starting a new phase of life, the satisfaction of making it this far, the happiness of making new friends, the fear of the unknown, wondering if things will ever be the same after this..
The first few weeks went by in a whiff..
Setting up bank accounts, getting student IDs, house lease, electricity, water phew... Things that were taken care of automatically back at home were a pain here. Then came the shopping spree. From home decor to bare essentials, from staple foods to exotic fruits, from sleeping bags to frozen vegetables a whole variety of new commodities..
Some first impressions..
As I was taking a break from the madness I just realized its been a wonderful 2 months. Full of ups and downs.. Some days there seem to be no time to study.. some days even to think..But it feels really good to be back again in the learning curve..It is a dream come true to be learning it the right way.. Away from all the mugging into the world of real application. Hopefully this curve goes up for another year!
