My Holiday

Finally done with all the studies! I got to complete the master's degree in the last week of may. It's been a very long time - 3 Years. I'm awaiting the results , might be out in July. So since last 15 days or so I am free. I haven't started working & have just taken some time off. I'll be joining with my current employer by next week. Have to meet them on wednesday for "talks". Hope everythings a breeze & goes as planned. Although I've been working here since last year I was a non employee & was completing an internship. Not the high paying job types, but allowed me time off work to complete studies & get those 1 1/2 months off before exams.

Well on the health front I'm really messed up. My lab tests were high last time. I haven't gone for even one appointment nor consulted anyone for second opinion. I guess I will have to do that after my paycheque arrives. For now although I'm feeling allright , I really get tired after working out. I had planned to use this break as a self improvement exercise which has gone horribly wrong from the one I had planned. I look as if I have gained some pounds but the weighing machine doesn't agree. My weight still remains constant but I look like I have gained some.

I had planned a very hectic exercise routine. But torrential rains have messed up all the plans. I had thought of jogging/walking for couple of hours each day. Sad part is I have yet to go out for a long jog even once. Although I go out a lot , it is mostly at night time with friends to hang out. All my friends are in town this month. One of them is returning to aussie land while the other one is going for higher studies! Whereas others are weary working 12 + hours. We enjoyed last couple of days. This may go on for till last week of june. Then we will be back to our routine. Saturday nights won't be the same there after.

It's rainy season out here n its been raining cats n dogs since last 10 days or so. Although I love goin out on a drive , weekend road trips. I'm avoiding driving at night time / when raining. Not too much fun I've to stretch my eye balls out of the sockets to view clearly. The alternative treatment for the optic nerve atrophy hasnt really helped. The only treatments we can find on websites is stem cell research which might take ages I guess. Try to be optimistic on that front , but its really frustrating. Although I still stay glued to the lcd to watch movies / tv.

I should really stop watching this stuff. I had gone crazy n watched lots n lots of movies. You name it n I have watched all the movies. I dun like to spend monie on movies that suck. But just couldn't help last couple of days. I won't write about the movies since its plain silly. I leave that too the learned imdb people. But might go n watch the happening this week. Heard its not so great , but cant avoid shyamlan's movies. Well I have nothing much happening to write home about since last month. Hope the exciting period starts now. After finishing with the "talks" on wednesday hoping to join the "corporate world" next week. Looking forward for the good times.


Ciao n Peace.
