2005

I see that almost everybody looks through the past year and judges whether it has been good, bad or ugly. And at this time of the year, I can't stop thinking about it either. I think, 2005 in comparison with 2004 was far much better for me. Better in all its senses really. 2004 was just plainly a bad year and it ended even uglier on 31st night at a horrible party in Atlanta, GA
It ended soo bad that I had shaded a sad picture for 2005 as well
But then these are some of the events that made 2005 a year better, and I think a year to remember.

Winter Quarter:

- getting to know Bhavik and living with him in the same apartment! his life stories.....haha!

- Physics 112 class with Namrata, Sonal and Mikey...I actually didn't enjoy that class, and all that icecream I had to treat Namrata for helping me in HWs got me to the edge of my budget ;)
-Accounting 211 class with Johny.....I'll remember those looong nights matching numbers and calling Deepa in the end for help!
-Randomly sitting around at Namrata and Sonal's apartment, begging for their home food.
-Rooming with Anuj.......all I can say is 'sigh'
-Coming up with ideas for Srujan MCing......sitting around talking about it in Ankit's room
-oh yeah, getting shocked watching Ankit first time after his hep A weight loss! (actually, I saw his photo....he seemed like he went to prison or something.)
-painful dance practice for apdi pode dance under Deepa's strict code.
-Rohit randomly coming down to our apartment.
-Becoming a Bappi Laheri fan after hearing Disco 82....thanks Ankit for introducing me to it!
-Going to the gym with Rohit and Bhavik and occasionally Anuj!

Went to India for spring break!! I couldn't believe myself for doing this....but then my dad was getting an award and I didn't want to miss it....Plus I had loads of fun celebrating Holi in Delhi.
