At Manipal

My laptop isn't here yet, so I'm posting from a cafe. Hopefully the laptops will be issued to us by next week, and it should get better then.

I've moved into hostel, its really nice, even though its the cheapest available. I have an attached bath which i have to share _just_ with my room mate. Who's this really nice chick doing Post Grad in Psychiatry, so she's never around. I've pretty much got the room to myself.

There are tons of people here that I know already. And R managed to get a transfer here from Mangalore.

Mom left last night. Dad called and said that they'd come visit some time next month, but I'm doing really well by myself here.

There is ragging here, except that its called an _interaction_. And it never gets worse than "Introduce yourself to us in hindi". I havent been ragged yet, and all this is just heresay. Part of the ragging includes not being able to visit the _very_ sexy library, which i think is mean and stupid on their part.

I have a white coat (called an apron) with a nice name plate and all. when we walk into the labs its like I'm already a doctor. it feels good.

Lectures are held in the "Interact" building, and the rooms inside AC, with internet points and projecter, and ccomputers etc. and the tables are arranged semi circular projectors with nice cushiony chairs. nice, huh?

Made a couple of friends.

Feels good to be online after so long. But I must go.
