Go with the flow...

That's what X always told me to do... Go with the flow. I took her advice. I'm now caught in a current, unable to get out of it, and being swept towards that big waterfall right there...

It all began with one harmless fancy. I wondered what it'd be like to take the GRE. So, the last time i was home, I went out and bought PrincetonReview's 'Cracking the GRE'. I had no intentions of actually taking the exam... I just wanted to see what the big deal was about GRE.

I was wrong. One thing led to another- since I can actually prepare for the GRE, why not take it? Since I'm taking the GRE, why not apply to a couple of Univs abroad? Ah. You want to apply? Sure, go ahead. Get your transcripts ready. Get your essay written. Find professors who'd willingly write recommendation letters for you. NACES. Financial documents. Bank statements. TOEFL. So on and so forth. All because of one harmless book.

Sorry, this isn't really a post. Just a very lengthy and vague excuse for not putting up anything new on my blog for a while. I WON'T be blogging for several weeks more, there's that too.

In essence, I'm busy, and shall be unable to update my blog. That's all!

@sandeep-
visa interview is far far away. right now, i'm just keeping my fingers crossed.. REAL tight!

@avinash-
it WAS sudden! so sudden i didn't even have enough time to get ready for it. but it's done, and done well, so that's that!

@laasya-
you have NO idea how useful that research paper would be. but i guess lots of ppl have 'done papers' on similar lines. maybe you should do something on the SYMPTOMS of cold?
Lucky ister, that's what you are... grumble grumble
