It’s Sunday night and as I bid farewell to this interesting week of ups and downs (in a sinusoidal fashion) I thought I’d just summarize it here on the blog as well. I mentioned in the last post about the start of Spanish classes, which I was looking forward to, perhaps to inject some discipline in my erratic post-exam life. The classes have begun, and I must say, apart from being hard, learning a language is really fun. The improvisations to churn out a legible sentence, juggling up words and verbs and pronouncing the “rolled-R” (errrrrrrr) is quite fascinating.

Also, I managed to start working on my project, which is mostly reading about stuff. The pace has been slow, but nonetheless, progress is what counts. A commenter asked for the project details which I shall post up soon. In fact, I worked last for three days to make a simple web space to keep track of my project. I will post the link as soon as I finalize it, and that will contain everything about the project, from details to daily progress.

Web development remained one of my top priorities throughout the week as I continued to work on my personal web (and blog), tweaking the designs, and implementing everything that I dreamt about during the exam preparation. Honestly, most creative ideas spring out at such times (when they are NOT required :D).

I’m still undecided on my vacation and home trip plans and this is something that’s bothering me. I really feel the need to take a break, but travelling for eight hours and then a return trip within few days doesn’t sound like a relaxing break to me. Its more like torture in the sky. So unless I have enough days to spare, I don’t think I will be able to go back home and it is pretty sad :(

Oh, and by the way, I’ve been neglecting the blog quite a lot lately (although this particular is getting most of my attention so you can imagine how others are being treated), but due to a comment by Zafer, I won the blogging incentive of this month :D So a big hand for Zafer *claps*

The weather is strange - it’s hot! There’s plenty of sunshine, but for some reason I feel that the burning sensation of sun is much stronger here than that at home. It may be the result of experiencing this high temperature after a break, but really temps above 20C doesn’t attract me - I’m not liking it!!! I spent the Saturday at Hyde Park where most of the people were enjoying the sun, and poor me trying to sit under the shade of a huge tree. I had KFC for the first time here on Saturday, since they have put some branches on halal trial. I never liked KFC back home, nor did I enjoy it here. Those guys really need to improve:D

Finally, I applied for a provisional driving license and as soon as I am getting it, I’m gonna take the real test and hit the road (ofcourse I will pass in the first attempt!!).

Looking back, the week was quite good, but I’m anticipating the next one to be even better. Will keep you guys posted.

Adios!

Glad to help :)

I’m looking forward to reading about your final project; I’m impressed that you’ve managed to find enough free time to set up a dedicated website for it!
