Change of Season...The End of Something...

…and just like that, semester one was officially over, at the engineering student hub, with me sliding my final assignment of the semester into the assignment box…it was rather an anti-climactic end. In my head, the whole thing played out so differently…I had imagined the day with the sun shining brightly…and as I walked up the stairs in the ES building, the music of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture began to play…as I slip my assignment into the box…a huge BANG!! Followed by confetti falling from the ceiling…none of those happened…in fact it was a cold gloomy late afternoon…and not a person in sight at the student hub…Still, I couldn’t help feeling a sense of accomplishment as I turned my last assignment in…I MADE IT!!...after 13 weeks…it was done…surreal at times…I have to rub my eyes to make sure it really was over…I prayed to God that somehow I’ll make it through this semester…AND I DID!!!...what a feeling…now it’s time to gear up for exams…


During the beginning of the semester:
So full of enthusiasm, ready for any challege... I'll take you on MAN...!!
(that's Bob's reflection on the mirror)
That's what a full semester can do to a man...sure took the wind out of me.

I'm not usually one who takes self-portraits...but since Dad bought me such a good camera, Mom and Dad probably expected me to use it once in a while...plus, it's probably good if they had some idea how i looked like now...behold Mum and Dad...I give you...your Son...rather rugged looking i would say...hahahahahah
