this feels somewhat odd, as i did so much this semester, it felt so long, yet it felt like it passed too quickly. i put it a lot to my academics and job hunting early on in the semester, i guess, by spring break, i was wearing out. by the time it was finals, i think i got a little complacent with the fact that i had only 2 finals, with MSE virtually guaranteed a B, and CS at least a B. in that sense, i might not have done as well as i should have, because, as i said, it has been a very long semester and i just wanted to get it done and over with. i hope that it doesn't backfire on me.
but then think about it, i have done a lot. i secured a housing staff job for the next year, a co-operative internship for the summer, and am still doing well academically.
i just hope that my GPA is above 3.5 for this semester so that my overall GPA improves. i intend to raise it higher as time passes.
it sounds weird, but though im done being a freshman, i was done being a freshman by my first semester. right now, im just 5 credit hours away from being classified as a junior, and by the time im done with my second year, i should be only 2 or 3 credit hours from being a senior.
if i thought this semester was rough, the fall semester will be worse. im taking 5 solid classes, and am probably looking at taking 5 final exams for all 5 subjects. 3 of them will be core classes for my major, and the other two will still take as much time as well. plus, i gotta be on top of my things, more than ever as compared to this semester.
in anycase, i can rejoice that its all over for now. ive more or less cleared my table, half done packing, just gotta do a last round of laundry before i pack everything off.
as i promised, here are some pictures from the crystal method gig i attended on saturday.
first up, some from the guest DJs, evil nine, and i forgot the duo who were before them.
i didnt intend for the effects, but it came out pretty nicely.
and now for the duo of the night, the crystal method
eventually, dan, karun and i were right in front of the DJs, just grooving to the fantastic music. karun somehow sneaked out and got the vinyl record, and actually got the both of them to sign on them. like i did with jamie cullum, i shook both their hands to thank them for a fantastic night.
it was weird, as i expect more younger people to be there. most were either in their late 20's or middle aged people. there were crazy stuff happening behind us, but we ignored it and just had a good time to ourselves. usual stuff happening in clubs, im not really surprised. but the funniest part of the night was when some random guy put his arm around dan's waist, thinking he was a chick (dan sports long curly hair, i cant blame people if they think he's a girl by just looking at him from behind) and i was surprised, and obviously, the guy realized, took his arms up, apologized and moved on swiftly to some other chick, and both dan and i were just laughing so loud, but our laughter was nullified by the huge speakers that was right infront of us.
i saw one of the members of crytal method as we were walking back to campus (it's a mere 15 minutes walk from our campus, isnt that sweet?) as he was being driven back to wherever that he was going, and i recognized him instinctively, and put my thumbs up, and he waved back, but karun apparantly didn't even see him, which was funny since he was right there with me the whole night and even got them to sign his vinyl record.
it was a good night, save for the fact that dawar pulled out the night before, and we couldnt find a replacement, which meant us having to cover for his cost, or forcing him to pay (he eventually agreed to pay) and i kinda felt back coz rich and hunter left prematurely, as they didnt seem to enjoy the music as much as we did. part of the reason could have been that we came way too early, (at 9, when the gates opened) and crystal method started performing around 12. add to that, they consumed some substance before heading out, and that might have gotten to them with all the lighting and the music at the club. can't blame them for that.
it was a nice little place. im feeling like im experiencing a completely new life here in atlanta with the college life and the hotspots in downtown atlanta. good music, good concerts, great venues, all that i need to start checking out are other fine food places other than fogo de chao. i really feel like im a twentysomething now. it seems fitful to say that as i am approaching to be 21 over the summer, and its only gonna get better, as i will be working over the summer, so i will have plenty of time to do a lot of things after work. damn, i gotta start planning what to do, aside from watching a lot of movies, obviously.
