Today I completed 1 whole month in Sydney!!
How's it been then? Well, I would say its been great!!!
Time does flies away... surely...
One down, twenty three more to go!!!
Today we planned to go to the beach... first time since I arrived in sydney, but sadly the weather played a spoilsport... :(
Its been raining continuously for more than an hour now..
Its such an atmosphere that its getting terribly boring... cant study too... :(
What is needed now is nice garam garam kanda bhaji and kadak chaha!!!!! Just dreaming of the good old days...

Uni starts
This is the second week of my Uni life...
Uni started last week and all the work too.
Firstly apologies to all, I mentioned I will write about the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House but I am writing about the Uni...!!!
Duh, how boring, you will say... Sorry!!
Aso, the schedule is such that I need to go to the Uni only for 2 days... but those 2 days are long, I mean really long.
I am already out of touch of attending lectures and here I have to sit for two lectures on both the days of 3 hours each!! And that too at 2 in the afternoon!!
I thought it would really be very difficult for me. Actually, it wasn't... The lectures were fun and the topics interesting! So, I really enjoyed my first week of the Uni.
I got to meet a lot of new people, with varied backgrounds. It is nice that we are only 4-5 Indian students in a batch of 40 for two subjects... the rest are a mix of Australians, Europeans, Chinese, Middle East countries and so on...
I start the second week from tomorrow and have a lot of homework to be completed still... They say right, old habits die hard... well, old engineering habits of completing things at the last moments are still with me... Will need to get over them soon though...
Things are really different here. What I liked most is that a lot of importance is given to your thoughts and understanding. You have to put everything that you learn in your own words. Even in the exams, they test your knowledge and not retention, as is normally the case in our institutes.
Looking forward to the next few weeks...
