I Don't Share Chocolate

There are three things men can do with women: love them, suffer for them, or turn them into literature.
-Stephen Stills
I waited all through the week to hear from the University of Texas at Arlington about my application's status. They started with informing me that they have not received one of my transcripts. Then they declared not having any of the transcripts. I had to mail them several times before calling up their office. I was asked to resend the complete sets. But then when I was leaving for bed early morning today I received a mail from them acknowledging the possession of all my documents and also letting me know that my application has been sent to the next level of processing. It was a positive reply providing a relief. When I finally woke up today it was 2 pm and I greeted my father home.

My preferred university is the University of Texas at Dallas. It has one of the best infrastructure and faculty for Computer Science in the whole of the United States. I satisfy all their requirements including GPA, GRE and TOEFL scores. It's all just wait-and-see. I am confident of getting admits from New York Institute of Technology and University of Houston at Clearlake. I would love to stay in New York if it was softer on my pocket. Houston would be perfection just that the university is just about average. Though I have also applied to a university in Chicago, I am not keen to go there. But of course, it's the visa processing that will have the final say. Allah will decide.

We are supposed to submit our projects on April 2nd but our project-guide himself took up the date of 5th. He is being too kind for us helping us with almost everything. We only have the implementation part left which initially seemed to be the biggest hurdle. A casual attitude all these days gave us only one thing - support from our lecturer. I only hope that we get decent marks for the documentation and a respectable grade in it's viva. It's just another subject to be cleared. I happened to refresh Rational Rose, spend more time on Visual Studio and get myself comfortable with Visual Basic. I am sure I am not going to keep this for long with me. Knowledge too gets stale.
