NCSU Finally

Posted: May 15, 2012 in MS

I know it’s been months since I wrote anything here. In fact, the day I picked up my old cam, I forgot if there was anything better than spending time clicking one or the other beautiful moment. But here I am again, feeling the need to write down about events which have transpired over the past few months. I have decided to go to NCSU for MS in CS. As of today, I have got admit from 4 univs and have been rejected by other 4. Does this make me feel bad? No, actually. I was hoping to get admission into NCSU, which is cheap and one of the best in Networking. So, I guess it all worked out well. I had an offer to go to babe’s univ but I let it pass as SB isn’t known for Networking. I have got I20 and today I will go for loan sanction. Once that is done, I will apply for Visa. Obtaining visa is the last step in the path to US. As I look back, I feel that perhaps I was meant for MS only. I cannot say if I was suited for MBA or I am suited for MS but yeah, I am destined for MS, for a life which is not Indian. I don’t hate my country, I love it but I hate the life here. Anyhow. Just 2.5 months left for the final date and approx 1.5 months left for me to tender my resignation letter. I have been dying to write one for as long as I am in the company. It would be my first resignation letter. I wrote one last year but you know what happened. I don’t feel like writing a detailed account of how I got admit from various univs and the exact feeling when I heard the news. Neither I feel like discussing how I felt when I got rejects from some dream univs. Life is a journey. The milestones aren’t life in themselves but indeed a way to remind ourselves that we are walking and we must keep on walking. There is no use in dwelling on past mistakes or achievements. And I am telling you, since the day I understood this little nugget of truth, my life has been much simpler, there are fewer confusions. I hope the visa things works out for me and I get to live a life I deserve, a life I have suffered so much for.
