It's official, I'm dropping my History class. The last two weeks have been ridiculously busy. There wasn't a single day where I could do anything not related to school or clubs. Normally my weeks go by real fast. But this week has been so busy that it just doesn't seem to pass. The end of my Monday felt like it should've been a Thursday. I've just been running around going to classes and meetings and gym and homework and ocassionally some extra studying if there's any time left. I like my schedule this quarter because all my engineering classes are on MWF and my non-engineering classes are on TR. It's really cool cause I feel like I get to do something different everyday. And it also exercises both the sides of my brain every week. But lately I realized that there's no point for me to go to my History and Geological Science class because no matter how much I'm prepared I end up sleeping through the whole class. Especially in history class cause my professor just stands up there and tells us stories and everybody else just seems to know what to write down while I'm just interested in listening to him. The guy is really smart, and he doesn't just talk about history. He gives mini-lectures on so many different topics about economics, technology, pop culture, foreign policy, etc. Tomorrow I have a big quiz in there (15% of my grade.) I am not at all prepared for it because I don't take notes in class and I don't even have a book! Who the hell wants to pay $80 for a history book!? I don't have a book for Geo Sci either but I can still manage in there without one. But this class is just way to subjective for me at this point. Plus I don't really give a damn about who Louis XIV is. So tomorrow I'm going to my advisor and drop the class. I figured it's better to free up some time so I can work on my other classes rather than get a bad grade in a 5 credit-hour class. I'll probably take it next quarter.

I feel like a quitter. I really thought this time I was gonna make it through with 21 credits. And I know I can...it's not about the workload. But I'm still gonna try to rationalize it by saying that the class was too subjective and I didn't have a book. And although I'll only have 16 credits left, it's still a ton of work because 3 of those classes are ECE!!!

Anyways, that was my whinying for the week. I was trying to think of what to write for my next post and I thought hey why not do what people normally do on blogs? In other news, this Saturday is the India Festival at the Veteran's Memorial from 10AM to 10PM. I'm part of an Indian Fusion band called PARAM and this time I'm participating for one of the songs. So if you're around here come and check it out! There are going to be lots of other dance performances and there'll be a large variety of Indian food too. And if you're not interested in either of those then you can always just come to do what most Indians come there for: socialize with fellow desis.

That's it for tonight...I'll update with Garba pictures after this weekend sometime! Oh and I almost forgot....Happy Dasera!!!
