Friends and fun

This blog post is going to be about today.

I had a lot of fun today. The last week was a tiring one for me. Wake up early in the morning (4 AM to be precise), keep an eye on the pups, do some stuff on PC, get ready for college, fall asleep during the journey and keep yawning during the lectures. This daily routine made me feel dull and sleepy all the time. I hadn't watched a movie in a long time. As a result, I was getting bored and felt down, eventually looking forward to the weekend.

Thursday: We have been given assignments and must submit them within the next week. I groaned; I had forgotten about the fun in working together. Falling asleep almost everyday while travelling from home to college and vice versa, lack of sleep, noisy and messy pups and load shedding had really made me grouchy. But this time I thought it would be fun to hang out with friends for a change. Besides, there wouldn't be electricity at home anyway. And add the 'back to normal' slow net again. So I decided to hang out with friends after college; went to their room, booted up Smash bros Melee and had a blast! I also watched the movie 'One missed call'. That got me back in the mood for watching movies again. Lost count of time. But it was really fun. Multiplayer gaming, eating snacks, sipping sugar cane juice, fooling around. Wow, I need to do this more often and ligthen up.

Friday: Was planning to get together and work on assignments but I needed sleep so was in sleep mode for almost the whole day. Slept like a log! "Screw the world, I wanna sleep!" kinda sleep.

Saturday: I was quite fresh today. Normally, I'd grumble about going to a place near college on a holiday but today felt different. So anyway, I went to the friends' room. I really had no clue about Maya so I asked them to teach me a bit. We are supposed to make a robot in Maya using basic shapes, so I drew a sketch of a robot, while my friends made it in Maya and showed me how it was done. I kinda find Maya's interface and shortcuts confusing, because of 3Ds Max, but I'll adjust.

After that was done, we played some Super Smash Bros Melee. Awesome as always. An hour later, MSEB played spoilsport. We were getting hungry and I hadn't eaten lunch , so we went to this place near Meghdoot hotel and had chocolate toast! It was delicious! I had no idea how it was meant to be eaten (haha just like normal toast right? but with chocolate sauce) and got my fingers all  sticky with chocolate sauce, while Gaurav's hands were clean and he sucked his fingers. That's something I don't do hehe. ^^; Well anyway, I was reluctant to wash my hands here for fear of static shock. I had a feeling I'd get one. And yes I did get one as soon as I was going to pick up the tissue paper. Damn, I hate static shock! 

I was still hungry so Gaurav and I went and had some pizza at a nearby restaurant along with some cold sugarcane juice. Ah, that was awesome! The power got restored by then, so we got to work. Our assignment was almost done and so I wondered if I should spend the night there or take the 8 o clock train. It was 7:15 PM, and I got a call from Karan. The poor guy was waiting at my house. I told him if he would wait some more I'd take the 8 o clock local and get there. He okayed it. It was 7:24. I was beginning to doubt if I'd reach the station and get the train on time. Then I thought "Let me think positive. I will get the local! I will get the local!" Had to do some running but got to sit in the local. Relieved, I smsed Karan that I'd be there. The poor guy had been waiting there for one and a half hour. He sat for a while at my place, browsed through Gamespot and then left. Poor fellow...

Well that's for this blog post. I think I'm gonna go to bed soon. Good night y'all!
