Done with exams!

It feels great to have completed all the exams... this week I am done with all the exams I will have to write for my Master's... Unofficially, I'm done with MS. Of course, I have my thesis to defend and I have to work on that - but I hope that should be okay! I have taken a short break now... just completed the grading of some reports - TA work!

Other than that, things are going pretty well. Yesterday, we went out and saw the movie - Basic Instinct II! Well, the plot line was good. Sharon Stone looks old; nothing like the first part. Anyway, it was a nice break to go out and watch a movie.

And finally, I have landed a job, in fact, 2 of them! It was really a tough decision to choose from the two. Finally, I went with my instinct and chose the one which I felt had better overall advantage. It was tough to reject the other job, but you have to do what you have to...

Now that I am almost settled, I want to have some fun... go out and see some places and stuff... let's see how this goes!

Well, I was just "browsing net" - the usual way to pass time, even when you are really busy; and I came across this site which has a quiz on all things about Harry Potter:

I, being a Harry Potter fan, just wanted to try out and test my knowledge.

Well, in the first few tries, I could hardly answer 4 to 5 questions, without going wrong thrice! What else would happen - imagine being asked "What time did Sirius ask Harry to meet him ...?" And the answers are :

• One thirty Saturday afternoon
• Two Saturday afternoon
• Two Sunday afternoon
• Six Sunday Afternoon

Well, you would hardly remember such details when you read a book... anyway, I got to know the answer after getting some of them wrong... And the maximum I could go upto was 11 questions! I was so happy, I decided to" challenge a friend" - an option that allows you to brag about your score to a friend, giving his e-mail ID.



I did that and the next day, in my mail box - I see that my fellow HP fan, Gururaj has beaten me by almost double my score! He scored a clean 25... I am thinking that either he had the HP books to refer and answer the questions (imagine how jobless anyone should be to do this!), or he should have made many many attempts to get to know some answers and he was damn lucky as well! Anyway, I will try to match him... maybe some day soon!
