I'm back

Finally - it's all done. Midterms, vivas, submissions, the project - the whole schmeer. It's probably been the most hectic couple of weeks I've ever had. The only way I could get any free time out of the last few days was to waste it, and that's rather hard to do with vivas and a project report to finish. Not surprisingly, it isn't all that hard, though.

Today's Robotics viva rocked, though we had to wait too damn long for it. Anyway, if you don't count the project presentation on the 30th, then this was my last ever engineering viva. I can feel all the devastating momentum of the last 2 weeks slowly seeping out of me. No wonder I feel so relaxed.

*Stretches like a cat anticipating a relaxing day ahead. Realizes it's night-time and switches to anticipating a relaxing night instead.*

Now, on to the really important things in life. I'm supposed to blog about the Google Code Jam finals - expect a post on that in the next couple of days. Until then, you can check out the video here. Yours truly makes a notable appearance messing with a Rubik's cube...

SRM 300 is on Friday at 6:30 AM. This will be my first early morning SRM in a long while. Plus I have a bit a of a rating slump to get out of. Perhaps that'll be this match. Plus I can practice a bit too - I'm feeling rusty.

Ok, so I'm always feeling rusty - that's part of the magic, really. You don't get good unless you permanently feel inadequate. You've still got to be pretty confident, though. Paradoxical, but true.

I should really put up some pics of my new iPod Nano. All hail Google - they really know how to treat engineers. It even says "Google Code Jam India 2006" on the back. Really comes in handy while travelling or writing boring assignments.

That's enough of a teaser for now. I think I'll sign off here and devote myself to relaxing full time for the rest of the day. Plus I've got some ice cream stashed away with my name on it. Time to chow down on it.

Wow, I almost sound like Garfield.
