Things Fall(-2009)ing into place

There must have been a lot of wind and gale as newcomers were preparing to arrive at the Windy city. Some had worries about who was going to pick him/her up. Others had worries like "How many would pick me up?" Needless to say another worry was "Is my host a nice person?"

Now these issues are done and dusted with most newcomers having a rough idea about where to move. For those who have already moved - great! For those who have never considered the topic, wake up or ask for help!

I really don't want to make this article a pain to read by referring to other things. I may write later about those. Some made it, some didn't yet.

The international orientation was done, and the few whom I met came up with not so great feedback. I'm surprised! Humans are never satisfied, eh?

With a few days to go until the start of the semester, what could one be looking forward to?

1 - A great academic session

2 - New style of learning

3 - Hot and/or pretty and/or humorous profs??? (Yes there are! Don't underestimate the profs...)

4 - Regular sports/gym activities

5 - Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ing cold of Chicago in the latter part of Fall semester. (New students should actually enjoy the extreme weather)

6 - UPass!!! (I fall short of words for this wonderful god-send)

7 - Birthday celebrations and other celebrations (You never know what all people may want to celebrate)

8 - Blame game between roomies and/or project partners. Rule: Blame/curse all but yourself for your ineffeciency. ;)

9 - Great grades (Phew!)

Here's what we at IGSA are planning, as most would have heard of, to kick start a great semester. We have sports week coming up. Keep watching this space and the incoming groups for updates. Participate in events and activities with vim and vigor! Other events to look forward to are:

Freshers' night

Taste of UIC

Diwali

We'll keep you posted for any other event that may come up. Suggestions are welcome.

To end this post, get ready for the start of a great phase of your lives in this land. Keep cheerful and "Let's Roxxx" as our pal Neeraj says! (Don't know why he says it though...)

Cheers!

NOTE: This should hopefully revive the dormant blog site. You should see frequent updates now.
