Day 9: 29th June, 2009

First day of classes. Woke up early. The weather had suddenly become very chilly! Got out of my bed and realised that it was raining... boy, that was welcome! :D Took a bath in the cold water (no hot water in my hostel it seems). Got dressed, had breakfast and went for classes.

Nothing much to talk about the classes. One of the good looking girls is in my section, so that is a good thing :-D . Also we have pre alloted seating arrangements. I sit in the 2nd last row, but at the corner of the bench... basically a position where I can't hide at all from the profs :-( . Not that it has any affect on my sleep though, mainly because sleep has become kind of an involuntary activity during classes... one can't help but doze off a little, no matter what.

The rains had a good effect of bringing the heat down. But along with that came a downside. (Dual aspect of natural accounting perhaps :-p). Insects!! Many of them!! Actually this was a litle anticipated and hence I had locked the doors and windows of my room when I left, but even then when I returned there were so many flying creatures in my room. All those bloody attracted-to-light insects. If I switched off the tubelight, they would even come near the laptop, so rather have the tubelight on. Anyways, I switched off the tubelight, laptop, etc and cleared my cot a little and sat down. After a while, I wanted to go to fill my bottle with water. I wore my slippers as I stepped out of the bed (fortunately). The first step I took after that ... crunch! ... casualty #1... some insect dead. I just brushed it aside and took another step and ... crunch! ... casualty #2. Swept them both out of my room with my foot and stepped out of the room to close the door when another ... crunch! ... casualty #3!! THAT was the number of insects there were around!
