almost a quitter
i dont even know what's going through my mind right now ...Nowadays all I think of is my future 5yrs from now (forget 10yrs). I'm supposed to be child of God with blind faith keeping me going, but I still worry like crazy. All I think of now is what is happenend in the past, what is going on right now in my life and what could be happening in my near future.
In 97, I was told CS was a good field and I went into it thinking that parents are usually right and they do probably know what they are talking about. So here I am in 2000, sitting with an almost completed degree in CS and a job straight from some company. Then the IT bubble bursts :( ... they dishonor the job-offer and delay it for like ever. I wait and wait and wait ... you know how it is.
By mid 2001, I'm analyzing my options. Again lots of people and friends are suggesting that an MS in US is the way to go. It is the great country and the easiest way to enter that great place. So here I go applying to schools here with my really stupid SOP. Surprisingly I get into 2 schools and pick the one closer to my cousin sis.
Now mid 2002, a few days before I'm set to leave for the US ... the company that had initially hired me gets back to me and says my joining date would be in less than 10 working days!! Yeah ... after spending approx.$1200 on applications to various schools another $600 for a one-way ticket from Bombay to Portland ... I'm supposed to even spend 5 secs to "think about it"!!! I don't think so ... I just threw the letter and concentrated on my shopping for my new student life in the US
I guess I would have to write the rest later ... work hours are over and I better leave ...
If someone was reading this ... sorry, but I'll write the rest later ...
