LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
Thursday, March 01, 2007
Phew! Another quick breather before another wave of exams/quizzes and the ever-present stream of homework! Last Friday was one of the most stressful days I had, or so I thought. This is because I have a homework due, a midterm exam for one of my weaker subjects and a powerpoint presentation for my term paper for another module!! I was still struggling to do the slides and complete my homework into the wee hours of Friday morning itself!!!
Thank God! Whatever I studied for my exam came out, although I only managed to answer 3 out of 4 questions because I forgot what I studied…(Btw, I got back my results today, got 80/100 & still below class average!! Argghh!!! -_-"") And the presentation went well, or maybe it’s because I’m a foreigner, and they just close an eye. I got bombarded with questions, I felt I wasn’t up to the mark as I was rather ill prepared(if u count the slides as a form of preparation). But the customary applause (2 in fact! One after I ended my presentation and another after the Q&A) made myself feel a little better! Speaking in front of a professor, brilliant classmates, a few graduate students as well was indeed a harrowing but enriching experience!
However, things took a dramatic turn (for the better) once I returned to my apartment. My roommate, Robert, asked me along to watch a live fighting event (something similar to the one we saw on pay-per-view at Hooters) that evening. It is held at the Gwinnett Centre, about 20 miles away from Tech. He said that he got free tickets from a classmate of his. However, his classmate, Jennifer got only 2 tickets from a guy she served while waiting tables part time. So we figured we still need to buy 2 more (Me & Tommy, who went because I sportingly agreed to go with uncertainty of getting tickets!)
Once we were there, Robert tried to get us in but to no avail. So Tommy and I went to the box office to check out the prices. Alas, the tickets range from $127 to $47 for the furthest seat in the arena. Disappointed but not dejected, Tommy decided to approach a tout. Lo and behold, that Mexican guy we approached had tickets! And after aome bargaining, we managed to pay $20 each for… Front row seats (Row B, mind you! Just behind VIP section Actual price shd be ard 100 bucks!!!). We got to see the fighters, fights and celebrities up close!!! An amazing event to wrap up a happening day!!!!
Another road trip this weekend, now must do homework!!! Argh...
