Projects Projects & Projects
Fall quarter was very project heavy for me. Almost all my classes had a project and I had to work in teams which was a great experience for me. I think something particularly challenging was attending college from India and coordinating meeting times with my teams in various classes. One thing I particularly appreciated was that my teams were very accommodating and we were able to work with my reduced availability due to the 13.5 hour time difference.
Zoom University Round 2
Fall quarter is over and it was an experience. With the time difference things were rather difficult to manage especially after DST since the time difference went from 12.5 to 13.5 hours. This quarter did take a toll on my sleep schedule and there were several days a week I was sleeping as late as 6 AM with my usual sleep time being 3 AM. It was an experience but not one I would want to go through again. I also felt a severe lack of motivation this quarter, I am not sure why but I think it was probably quarantine fatigue.
Overall, attending college during fall felt like an extreme sport and I wish that nobody has to go through this.

My Birthday
Among the more exciting parts of the year. I celebrated my birthday with my family but this year I could not call over any friends. I have a tradition with my friends from high school that we have a night over at my house every year on my birthday. Since we all go to different colleges in different countries, this is one of the times I get to see most of my friends from high school together.
This was the first time in five years we were not doing a night over but we met over zoom instead. Not as exciting but it was still kind of fun and nice to see my friends virtually.
