My November

Everytime I felt offended or irritated by a person, I learnt how to stay quite. I don't take the credit for any effort I may be putting to stop myself from getting enraged, I thank Allah for every awareness of my emotions He gave me and also for the knowledge that helps me remain calm. Yesterday I was tested. Perhaps I learned even more. I remained calm.

I was teased by 2 of my closest friends. I didn't mind that. But because they intentionally did it in front of 'some people' so that I am seen by 'them' under such a situation, so that they laugh at me, so that I am a ind of insulted in front of 'them' ... I was angry with a smile on my face. I need to learn something more - to shout back at my friends when they hurt me without thinking of what it may result in. I also need to lear to say 'no', not just to my friends, but to everybody.

Yesterday's lab external was amazing. First I was given a program on triggers. I had not prepared for it so I asked the lecturer for something else. I was asked to create a table for students with their marks in 2 subjects. Then I had to write a PL/SQL program to calculate the total of the marks, average and give grades to the students with respect to their marks. I had to do these updations in the already created table. When I saw the question, I thought I couldn't do it. I somehow started. From nowhere (Alhamdulillah), I thought of using cursors. I wrote the code after thinking a lot. It was signaled as correct by the lecturer. I started the execution and with a little debugging, I ran it successfully. When I opened the table to see if the changes have been made, I was surprised to see I had done it correctly. I couldn't believe I did it. This was the first time I had done such a program in the semister - in the lab external!

The viva was not that great. I was hardly asked anything. A few things on attributes and constraints and a query. The extnal incharge himself was helping. He was the best of the 3 who took viva in these exams. He was friendly and made everybody feel comfortable. To be precise, he had respect for the students.

Later in the evening we went to have Grilled chicken at Kababish. We were 6 people and each of us had half a chicken each. Then I walked from Masab Tank to my grandparents house in Murad Nagar. I did wait for the bus for sometime but I felt I was wasting time so I walked. I took me 25 minutes to reach the place. I liked walking.

Yesterday or I guess it is today, I slept at 2:45 am. Though I was feeling sleepy, I didn't want to sleep. I don't know why! In the morning I woke up at 9:30 am, had some tea, and slept again till a friend woke me up at 11:30 am. I had my breakfast at 1 pm. It was 7 slices of bread with tea. I am fresh now. I have read many articles on the net since then. I updated some old blogs with what Ihave read. I just copied some articles. I will write some shortly now that I can relax till 13th. I do have to read a lot and get myself ready.

I am too relaxed already. Tomorrow I will be going to the college. There is no much reason for that, just have to take my records. And my friends were talking about going to a movie, so may be I will join them - even when I don't feel like going.

November 14th marks the end of one year since I have started my first blog, Flowing Emotions. The first post was something I kept only for a few day then deleted. The rest, everything I posted after that, is still there.
