They gave us our laptops yesterday evening. We went to Interact after Dissection class and entered 3d. We walked in and saw that each chair had this grey backpack sitting on it. I sat down somewhere and opened the one on my seat. It had my laptop (IBM thinkpad, R60) and the adaptor cord and charger and manual and stuff. WOW.
Even the bag is pretty cool. [EDIT: I was drunk on the laptop then. I realise now that neither the bag, nor the laptop are exceptionally special. No I take that back. The bag is exceptional in that its exceptionally UGLY and quite useless. 29th Feb 2008] Its a backpack, not a leather sling bag which is the type that people normally use to carry around their laptops. It has this special compartment that fits the comp, and apart from that there's place for other books and stuff. Its grey, and it has the Manipal logo on it and it also says "lenovo". Not bad at all.
Though the only bad part is that there are now atleast a thousand bags and laptops that are IDENTICAL. So if i carry this thing around with me, i have to make sure that I'm very careful. Thats not a very difficult thing for me.
So when I got to the library, to get someone to configure my comp for the wifi, i was told that the guy who knew how to do had already left and would be back only next day. WHOA. I was so disappointed...I had been WAITING to get online.
So i was like FUCK OFF, I'm gonna get this thing to work, and I sat there and switched the machine on and started looking for wifi related stuff. i found a lot of things, and eventually figured out how to get it to work! Like I was suddenly connected to the net, and my friends were like "SHOW ME HOW". So I did it for like 5 other people.
When stuff like this happens I feel so COOL!!!
HAHA
I'm just really really kicked about everything right now which is why I'm so hyperactive.
It feels so good to type man

hey md!
good to see your comment.
its really cool, that you guys get laptops these days. and the wifi on campus.... ooooh! We were quite lucky to get our hands on a crappy 56kbps shared line at the student internet center!! Have fun :-D
Since you have just started at KMC, you'll have at least five years to soak in the Manipal climate.
All said and done, Manipal's a kickass place to study (who does that?) I am sure you'll enjoy your stay!
Take care...
Wow! That's nice.. :) I guess you have already blended in with the new environment at Manipal. :)
I have some few questions for you,
Q1. How is the food at the mess? Do they offer non-veg? What do they serve for both veg and non-veg?
Q2. How is the teaching faculty? Do they use English as the medium of instruction at all times?
Q3. How is the hostel room? Are there any power cut-off or water shortage? Does the hostel building have a power generator??
