School's out

So I finally, finally, finally am done with this semester. God, it's been a rollercoaster ride, especially since my wingman for projects got himself some major employment which cut down on time that was available for project work, plus another chum totally blew us off at the end of the year. The last day was monday, and what a shitty one it was. After seeing how much work other groups got done while mine was sadly understaffed was frustrating to say to the least. The fact that our report was one of the best ones and could have scored more marks had we the full implimentation included in it was even more frustrating. Today, however, thanks to staying up half the night to catch up on work that I was delaying due to projects and having a long napping session, I'm so ready for the new semester to begin.

Why does it seem like everyone's getting married these days? A 20-year old male friend is getting married this year. When I finally got a chance to catch up, he asked the single most annoying question combination anyone can ask me: "kitna parhogi? kia karogi itna parh ke? shaadi kab karogi?". I have to restrain myself from stuffing a pair of dirty socks in his mouth. Honestly, what is the big deal about wanting to actually study instead of leaping onto the first available male that walks by and heading to the nearest qazi? Why is it so strange that I may want to get at at least a Masters degree and see a bit of the world before I commit myself to ruining some poor SOB's life?

On a positive note, two great ladies have birthdays today. One would be the brilliant and always entertaining fellow blogger Hira/Heewa and the second would be my favorite Canadian schoolchum. I realize there's no way she would be reading this, but we miss you, Fraulien!
