I shall not begin with my usual apologies for being absent yet again from the blogosphere. I’m NOT sorry, for a change! I have been kept really busy (and happy) in the last few weeks. For once, breathing felt good! You may start wondering why am I so happy. Even if you don’t I will enlighten the reader with the happenings of the past few weeks.

Right, so after kickstarting my project and then being consumed by the cricket fever, I got back to my desk and started playing around with my toy (the microcontroller). The project work started off smoothly and life assumed a nice routine involving regular visits to gym. Everything was going well until I hit a hair-pulling obstacle in my project. Five days went by without any success. I was forced to leave it at that because my father was in town for four days. A visit to Birmingham, Coventry, Manchester and another place (forgot the name) really helped me forget about the project. I also got hold of a (yet another) new phone - yes the sleek and sexy N97. Actually its not a phone - its a multimedia computer! (I can go on and on praising the phone). Anyway, some shopping, and meeting relatives with dad on the final day before his return back home.

Reluctantly I returned to work knowing how badly I was stuck. Another few days went by without any success and just when left with no choices, suddenly, the brain worked and I realized how small the problem was - or so it looked after locating it.

The project is now on track. I am deliberately not going in to the details of it here - the interested reader may visit a dedicated page at http://project.anasimtiaz.com - If you think that I should be writing the tech stuff here then please do chip in with a comment.

I’m starting the next stage of the project where I will be working with some EEG data on epilepsy. Sounds real fun! Also, I’m scheduled for a theory test for driving license on Monday, which I think should be pretty easy.

Also, there is news that Tuesday will be the R-day —>> Results Day. After being delayed twice, no one really believes that :D

That ends my lovely story and I shall now return to enjoy the good time that I’m having.

Adios

I am a student who has currently appeared in the Olevel exams during the July 2009 session. I have always wanted to join Impereal University due to its high prestige and it being Number1 University in the world. I have recently acquired valuable information that i should start applying for university as soon as my Olevel results have arrived and not wait until my Alevel are over. As i have told that i wanted to join MIT, i wanted to as you that what is the procedure i should follow to send my Olevel result through email. Also what other files should i send with the Olevel result? Please can you help and advise me or can you send me the email of the person who can advise me now as i am bemused and confused. I also want to know that previously i had appeared for 6Olevel subjects in which English language was included. I have known that students who want to study abroad in USA,UK or CANADA need to give certain tests like TOEFL,SAT,IELTS etc. I had gotten an A in the English language exam in November 2008 session, so can you inform me which tests would i have to give even after the A that i had gotten? Also do I have to sign up on the imperial admissions site so as to send my result online? I will be very pleased that you answer my request and i am sorry for any spelling mistake that might have occurred. Thank You.

@hannan: The website of Imperial College provides all the necessary information and contact details for admissions. But I’d make your life easier here - you CANNOT apply for admissions with O-level results, NO WAY!! You need to have atleast 3 A-level A’s to get in the EEE dept for your undergraduate. So just sit tight, go for your A-levels, work hard, and then apply :)

@S: Sorry, but I haven’t been through this. My course didn’t involve any sort of interview nor did it require BMAT.
