After a year..


Time can create so much of changes in each one of us. This is my second post ever since I came to the United States, to the Dallas, for my Masters.

With a drive of passion and dreams about future and with aspirations of making my parents happier my journey to the land of Opportunities started on August 04, 2011. Phew, it all seemed to have happened just now and I have crossed almost a year in the process of getting used to staying away from home and Mom especially, for the first time.If you are thinking something like, "Yes, sounds just like another story of a young women who left her country for an MS in the USA", Well, it is one such story, but something i have gone through and never would regret the decision in future.

Grad school is always fun(The Tag Line) . Yeah, it is fun with self-cooking, care none about being responsible except for yourself, night out before exams and assignments, crazy hours of study, endorsing the dawn and dusk twice on the same day (considering the fact that you have not slept for two consecutive days !!! ). Self-cooking, of course, one of the disaster and best experiences as we experience the joy of victory when the dishes turn out edible and appreciable at times. New room mates, adjusting to people whom you even hardly know, remembering the days when you fight with siblings for using your room. Weekend games at the social clubs. New pictures and updates on facebook, unusually all of those on your friendlist liking the updates (evidently showing that.. We are watching you baby..!!! ), new friends, part-time jobs ( a toughest phase which taught many facts about life), weekend meet up with friends and seniors.

First few days of excitement about the new, with mixed emotions and opinions about the place which i expected to be as good as my undergrad college, for which i put a pause immediately after the school had started with assignments and projects. Indeed, the best and most unforgettable memories for life time in just 8 months. One moment is just not enough to be stated . Every moment and experience makes you better.
Beaming with happiness and rejections as well. We never realise the worth of something unless we long for it (hope it's not too long ).

Moments of joy and appreciation does happen quite often. In just a span of 10months, new friends, becoming best friends, room mates becoming part of family (skyping with your mom.. even when you are away :) ), celebration of seniors' graduation, exploring new places, making new friends, welcoming your friends for their first year at the grad school and lots more.... I'm not done yet..!!!! Taking it all offline with lots of memories and hopes ...!!!!!
