In other news, I have a 2-month summer internship offer from SWIFT (PHP/Oracle). I don't know if I should be taking it or continue with my RA work (throughout summer and hopefully even in Fall). Both are full time, 40hrs/week and both pay almost the same. Any suggestions? |

So, I moved out of my sister's place and shifted to the one place in Fairfax where the desi grad student population is the most. Whenever we go to the baseball ground to play cricket on holidays/weekends, there will be atleast 15-20 people. That way, its a lot of fun. I moved into a town house in the same apartment complex, a duplex house with 4 bedrooms (technically 3 bedrooms, 1 den). We are 7 people now and planning to get one more person in because the house rent is ridiculously high. Life is good as of now, i'm pretty busy with assignments/projects almost all the time. Lots of beah. Scam wireless internet rules ;)
There seems to be no openings for TA/RA positions in both the CS and ISE departments this semester, so no chances of funding :( But I got a part time job as a programmer in the System Architectures Lab which is paying me $11 an hour as of now which is pretty good for a non-TA/RA student wage position. This job is only for 10hrs a week, so the remaining 10hrs, I plan to work in the food court. Work starts from tomorrow so life will be very hectic. I will not be on YIM/AIM/Skype/GTalk very often so the best way to get in touch with me is to send an email to sgajula2 at gmu dot edu
And also, I got a new phone, a free piece with the Sprint connection. Ping me and i'll give you my number. |

How do I start? Well, the flight journey was good. I flew Air France and this was my first time flight experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a 6 hours gap in the Charles De Gaulle airport in Paris so I went around the whole place twice and accidentally bumped into the only other person in the airport who looked like he was from the Indian subcontinent. The man was about 35 years old and I later found out that he was a Pakistani by birth and now a US Permanent Resident. He also claimed to be the nephew of some random minister in Pakistan. He was also taking the same flight to Washington DC, so we hung out together (lol!) and then sat together in the flight and all :p I landed in the Washington Dulles International airport at 5:30PM and the same night, we went to see the GMU Fairfax Campus. I have no jetlag whatsoever probably because i was used to sleeping really late back in India.
The day after I landed, I went to the university to finish all the important immigration, checking in and immunization work. And because my scores in B.Tech suck, I didn't get any financial aid/assistanship. Luckily for me, on the same day, the food court guy was on a hiring spree and I got myself a part time on-campus job in Sodexho Campus Services. I'll still keep trying for other jobs though and will plan to keep this as a backup. The next day, I met _aks_ in school and we both went to his apartment. I had some real good time there. It felt really nice to be in a group of telugu speaking guys who were all watching some random Junior NTR movie together. It was fun.
So, as of now, i'm staying with my sister in Oakton, Virginia. It's not very close to the university, I have to take 2 buses (almost 45mins) to get to school. This is one reason why I want to move out. And here, its almost as good as being at home with almost everything taken care of, by my sister. One more reason to move out. Yesterday was my birthday, so my sister and her (our) roommate/friend took me out to an Italian restaurant, Olive Garden for lunch and then to Regal cinemas where we watched Wedding Crashers. My sister bought me Megadeth Greatest Hits and the DVD Almost Famous. All in all, I had a very good birthday, it was way better than what I expected.
So, life is good in Virginia as of now. But I know that there are real tough times ahead. I'm not feeling very homesick as of now but i'm really missing my friends and anything even remotely related to Hyderabad. |
