From Carbondale

It is so cool to blog from my new university. Looking back, I just realized that I have crossed some of the hardest times in my recent past which many others may not be ready to consider passing through. Being on OPT, writing two papers, the "trip" to New jersy, back to India and, ofcourse the VISA interview. I am quite happy that I have managed so far and hope that I continue to do better. Carbondale is huge. So far I have seen only the engineering and sciences buildings (actually I walk by them...to many to enter and explore). There is still the business school, medicine, library, Law and many others. It is tiring to walk such distances but hope that once I settle down, I need not walk back and forth. The campus has a bus service which takes you all sorts of places and it is free for SIU students. Not yet shifted to my apt. still looking for it. Guess I will decide about the housing today. Have my class at 2pm. I have taken digital VLSI, microprocessor and wireless communications. Hope I do well in my courses. That's all for now. Will write soon!!!!!
