party hard, study harder

today is my third week in my new college. i call it new coz i have just swaped colleges thanks to a system that upgrades my stream netime through out my first semester. so this is my new college-delhi college of engineering.
if you by any chance are wondering if the title of this post reflects my views and that i happen to be a "ghissu" then may i please take the liberty of simply saying that this doesnt happen to be my attitude but of those people that i ahev come to accept as my friends. for the uninitiated people who have nothing to do with engineering colleges in india and hence their lingo, "ghissu" is a derogatory form of a cross between a geek and a book-worm. and no one, may i repeat, no ones considers it a compliment but everyone becomes the long lost buddy of those few who are, at examination time.
so basically my new college requires me to travel a good two hrs daily one way and so my habit of making friends and studing unique samples of human life gets enough exposure. i have come to realise a few things about myself too. i, for one always divide people into categories of who and who not i can be on amicable terms with. and trust me my classification is best when instinctive and thankfully correct(mostly).
the ride to DCE in the morning is the best part. i happen to be the only female in the bus mostly and the for the guys i am like an unattainable piece of eve's descent! we have a university special bus and so all of them are either my batchmates or seniors, but still talking to a girl just like that is so unthinkable. sometimes i really wonder, does it say anywhere on my face that i'll gobble you up if u try n talk to me???? they seem to think so, and are shell shocked if you start a conversation with them. no. its a martal sin. guys here are just so incapable of a friendly chat with a girl.
the matters obviously differ when the girl is a bomb. then they'd talk to you to gather all the info they can abt her...building their databases you see. for future references
whatever said n done, i'm enjoying this place and there is always so much distance to walk that you can not get bored.
