Within Temptation

There was a time when I scoffed at those who listened to rock music, hard metal, etc. But here I am now, obsessed with a song by a Gothic rock group and I have been, for a rather long time now, listening, to what I once termed as noise, with great affection several rock and metal groups. No, I do not want to go for any concert or such, because that is noise and I can’t stand people screaming and howling. Not a very nice place to be stuck in. I am content just listening to music over head/ear phones.

I have begun writing again, with renewed intensity that I typed and wrote about fifteen pages yesterday. I couldn’t stop !! I was delighted, because it’s been a very long time since I’ve written part of my novel. Over ten months I suppose. And now… sigh, I’m back to normal. I’ve begun writing during class hours again, and it’s good. The emotion that oozes out of the pages is really remarkable. I don’t think I’ve written anything like it before. I’m glad.

Not wanting to gloat or anything but seems like I’ve another ‘dad’ !! In a very diplomatic sense, please ladies and gentlemen. Maybe I should retract and say, dad-like person. Yeah, that’s better. No revelations will be done since people might tend to get the idea that I get favored by this person, blah blah. We’re close on a very professional basis and it feels nice to have someone other than my family supporting me through all decisions that I make as far as my career is concerned.

The rounds of tests have begun. Next week will mean the dawn of our final internal assessment papers and then within a week or so we shall be done. Three years of engineering have passed by in the blink of an eye !!! Come June and Dad (and Mum) will complete one year of being away from me Oh, I’ll be visiting in July. As soon as my exams are over on the 13th, I’ll take two days to pack and do some shopping and I’m off !!!! For maybe three weeks. If I can stay four weeks, GREAT !! I saw them both last in December, when they’d come down and after that, in the past two months, maybe three or four times while chatting I was able to catch a few glimpses of them… But otherwise, it’s just their voices in my head. I’m not paranoid.

Gotta go study now. If I can manage it. Loads of love and luck.
