Jobless, yet busy

Taking inspiration from Sid's post which said, even if you have nothing to say, then just blog about it, I am now doing the exact same thing. Maybe to account for at least one post a month. :P I am here again playing stickcricket online and since the last so many days I have been trying to defeat this one team (Sri Lanka). Finally I did it today! They were the number 4 team in the World Domination list (all this is stickcricket.com lingo). With a target of 507 in 20 overs, it was a tough ask. I punched my fist in air when I won :)

It was a cold winter morning. With heavy snowfall last evening, the roads in Rapid City were decorated with snow and it got worse when the roads started becoming slippery. My Nissan Altima with its front-wheel-drive merely could manage to get me to School. Before I get to School everyday I remind myself of the pile of work I need to wrap-up before it gets too late but once I am at School, I am sleepy! I had a class at 1, and then I had all the time in the world to play stickcricket.

I had been struggling to defeat Sri Lanka because of the huge target of over 500 in 20 overs. I could barely reach 470 in earlier attempts against this team. Today was 'the' day. Everything went on perfect- a perfect start, a perfect 368-run 1st wicket partnership, a whopping run-rate of over 28 runs an over, and lots of sixes! I was so elated to see just 15 runs required off the last over, that I knew I had made it. Every other time I needed over 70 runs off the last over! Anyways, I finished it off with a six, and with 2 balls to spare in the last over! (psst...)

Now with only about a fortnight remaining for the semester to end, I have the following tasks to complete. 5 assignments, a project, 2 final exams and research briefing. Yet another year is coming to an end, and I just keep reflecting upon myself how hard this year has been for me. Just so much alone with none by my side to walk hand-in-hand and share all the sad and the success stories. Guess that's what's life, and yeah, as some say, "grow up; life moves on!".
