What a Day!

Wanted to do something substantial in project today...So bunked class though I am running short of attendance...Necks will be slit if I go under attendance!(So teachers beware!)...Moreover didnt want to miss the final days of college...But circumstances made me bunk.(Iam innocent!)
All started around 12 at night...A throbing head and a sleepy eyes made me want to go sleep though I had two assignments to finish. A friend tried to keep me online but she did not see me drooping away every two minutes :-)). Anyway decided to go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 1:15.
Woke up! Throbbing head again and no one online :-( Started writing. Had no idea what I was doing and probably the second assignment is all shit. Finished up around 3 and went to bed. Wake up at 6:30 and a dash to Hary's place to give the assignments.
Woozy again. So had a tea from outside and then another after coming home. Had a breakfast and watched TV for a while...At 9:15 started sleeping again...interrupted by mom at 10:15 when she and Father were leaving. Changed my sleeping position to downstairs bedroom and slept blissfully till 12:30! So much for project:P
Then had lunch...went outside to take a walk and clear my head. Bad move! Too hot and became exhausted...Came back started doing project...well started...then error galore...some library files misssing...searched frantically...no avail...Started playing Morrowind (an excellent RPG) and Anand came. We did the UML diagrams for a while till evening. He left at 4 and me back to bed again...woke up at 5:30 when Mom came back. Lazed around...chatted with a friend on phone...played some loud music...and voila! brain wave at 9:30! Decided to correct my user problems in XP and I crashed the bloody thing. XP wont boot! To make matters worse I had removed Ubuntu Linux and installed SUSE linux in a bad way. So no Linux as well.Tried Ubuntu live and install CD's to get my PC up again and after several 100 tries (10 to be exact:P) Free CD's meant bad CD's I guess!
And now running on Ubuntu Live...what a beautiful day!

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Scholarship!

Found this is Friday Five and liked it. 1. If you were to have a scholarship created in your honor, what qualities would you look for in applicants (leadership, service, GPA, etc.)? GPA is bullshit. People with high GPA can be both muggers and geniuses. There can be people with no real "definitive talent" having a high GPA. Also, some can be flatout arses with no regard for the society. I would never create a scholarship in terms of GPA. Service is paramount. IQ and EQ both are equally important. Abstract thought counts. Creativity would be a defining factor. Enthusiasm is a must. There will be personal interviews. 2. Who would be eligible to apply for your scholarship (members of a certain major, ethnic group, sexuality, etc.)? No discrimination except there would be a weightage given to economically disadvantaged. Their need would be greater than that of a well to do kid. 3. Would it be need-based or not? Why? Need-based is contentious. Whose need? Some may need the money ...
