My New Hobby!

My New Hobby:

I've been riding around town a lot in this awesome new bike that I just bought (Feb 4th, 2008). I've been trying to think of what to name it, but unfortunately, I cant think of anything. It feels rather amazing to be able to get anywhere I want so easily. And it's a great workout too, you know, when I ride to Harvard.

It's a beauty, and I am actually considering joining the bikers club in Boston (just so I can actually keep up with the laters rides and everything), but lets see how that goes along. I'll keep you guys posted if I come across a good biking team/club. I have some pictures of the beauty, take a look. Im calling it "the Bikey" now. If you have a better suggestion, let me know.

Okay, so naming the bike is, so, totally lame, but I remember when I had my first bike back in Chennai, India (Where I was born). I named it, and it was pretty much like a pet to me (Im not a big fan of having animals as pets, but maybe a dog, someday)

And if you wanna go biking around town, you know who to call. Also, if you have suggestions on a name for the bike, leave me a comment!

Thoughts about the first week @ Harvard

So after my first week @ HES, I think I have a basic feel of how classes actually are conducted. I think it is rather interesting that all my professors are great and all my teaching assistants are complete dumbasses. This TA from one of my classes is absolutely retarded, lets take for example this following transcript:

Student: Can you explain more about the Keynesian Theory?
TA: What exactly is it, uh, that, uh, you want to know (pauses) about this, uh theory?
Student: You know, just what it is...
TA: Oh, okay? but what specifically?

All I could say was... wow!

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about them giving us a regularly scheduled TA meeting, Im just pissed off that there's no point actually going to the meeting.

Okay, enough of that -- The bottom line is that the in class activities are awesome, and the teachers are funny. Outside of the classroom, It's amazing to be in Cambridge, regardless. Maybe this is because of the new atmosphere, and I like change. Even though it's cold, one could just sit in the lawn and people watch -- There's always people walking around and it's always lively. I should take some pictures

Next class is tomorrow, and honestly, I am looking forward to it.
