Seasonal Change
As my summer draws to a close, so must some episodes in my life. The beauty of it all is that with an end there's always a new beginnings which one must look forward to. I had my last day at work last Friday. My goodbyes were bittersweet (excuse the cliche!). Quite happy to go back to doing what I like best - my mathematics - but also sad to say bid farewell to the characters that played interesting roles in this summer fanfare. I was pretty chuffed that my boss's boss came over to my cubicle to say Thank You. I also has some words with a lady in HR and I might find myself joining their graduate program next year.It's now all back to the books. I was back on campus this morning - Fresher's Week. I'm employed by the university on a small stint helping a fresher with a learning disability starting his joint honours degree in maths and drama get settled in. Jay's a really cool kid, very personable and I'm sure he'll excel. Today we did all the laborious task of getting the enrolment paper trail out the way. Wednesday and Thursday will be insightful as far as his course is concerned and Friday will introduce him to the debauchery of student life - the excessive indulgence in all things improper at the Freshers' Fair.
Classes begin next Monday. Campus has been transformed in my absence. New Village, State-of-the-Art Gym, transformed Student Union, a touchy-feely central zone with chic styled lounges complete with brand new leather furniture. With this iPod generation, let's just see how long this will last?
