Yeeeelo!
Game of Thrones reference? Anybody? No? Okay :/
I don't know if I ever thanked you for your previous post. It definitely ranks in the Top 5 in the list of the nicest things people have done for me. This one time I was caught by a cop and almost got a ticket, but he let me slide with a warning. I think that has settled in quite well at #1 on the list. But many thanks! I am glad I could positively influence your life and introduce it to some of my favourite things. Also you flatter me with all those awesome things. One thing...max two...of the list are probably true :)
So how has your year been? Mine seemed to go by a lot quicker than the last. This year saw my social life die a natural death. I mostly hung out with the same few people but I am glad I have them in my life. You chose well past Akshay, you chose well. Apart from Dexter and the Walking Dead I haven't been really been keeping up with "my stories". I think I have more than made up for the lack of tv watching and sleep in the past week and a half that I have spent in UAQ.
I started my first few real hardcore MechEng classes this year and realised I wasn't half bad in them. I also realised how ridiculously bland my resume was. But that wasn't until well into my fourth semester (when I was applying for summer internships). I now know that having a high GPA just isn't going to cut it. I need to find me some good hands on experience. Talking about design and manufacturing experience, last semester I had my first actual MechEng design project based class. We had to make this robot/car thing and compete in this competition. The objective of the game is to collect more balls than your opponents. The balls vary in weight and the heavier they are the harder they are to get to and the more points they are worth. We had to regularly record our progress in the form of blog posts. Of course we forgot about the blog after the first few posts and then went into a frenzy on the last few days and put up a bunch of posts and I coded out the timestamps and inserted fake ones. Yayy for engineering ethics.

My friends from school are finally coming back into town and I am going meet a few tomorrow. Probably going for Avenger. It grossed a record breaking 207M + in the first few days. Goddayemmm.What would you do with 200M dollars? Have you heard of Louie C. K.? He is a stand up comedian and at this point you should YouTube his bit about what he would do with the amount of money Bill Gates has.
In a couple weeks time my cousins are coming down from Chennai, India. That should be fun. Have you been to Ferrari World? Apparently tickets are 250AED a pop? Gees. I will be heading back to India with them in the first week of June. I will be interning with Volvo for two months. Lets hope the have enough to keep me occupied for that long and preferably something more challenging than making coffee.
Well there you have it. My summer plans. What do you have in store for the next few months?
UAQ is a sad, lonely place.
