My current occupation prevents me from writing about anything that happens to me on a daily basis. Everything is a damned threat to security, so it's easier to avoid the risk by not making any entries at all, but it has been such a long while since i've come here and i just felt like blabbering. It's a new environment, new faces and a new system, most of it i am still coming to terms with. I hope that sentence was not a breach of security. The SYF consumed half my weekend. Seems like once again, i have allowed band to consume what meager free time i have. The circumstances are such that i am unable to find a new past time as substitute. It's interesting to observe the effect women have on this male dominated work place. They are without a doubt intelligent and outspoken, if not they would not have taken this challenging career path. It must be difficult to be in their shoes though, living with so many men must be quite daunting. I am supposed to return Home able to leap as far as 243cm...failure to do so would have dire circumstances. High expectations for me, although i honestly feel very little pride in being here. Maybe i'm just so jaded with things around me that, little can be found to impress me right now. I don't think i'm particularly special for having made it into this premier institute, even if they keep trying to drive home the fact that we are the best our batch has to offer. I had to leave home early to return to camp. They were having a dinner party at home which was pot luck. I didn't know we were hosting a party till this afternoon. The occasion was my mom's farewell party because she's leaving her company this month. the nature of her job is such that most of her colleagues are foreigners, so today i sat at a table with people from france, colombia, holland, and zimbabwe...It was like the UN...and the world gourmet summit as well. That has to be the most wonderful thing about having friends from around the world, the cultural exchanges are bound to be enriching. If you wanted to go to their native land, you'd be able to find a place to crash or sound advice on where to crash. Both my parents have European friends and it's frankly a really cool thing. Tonight, I had for the first time...caviar!! And i gorged myself on magnificent cheesecake and quiche made by a french lady - i think that fact alone makes it more authentic -
