It's been a week now. I'm home, and while it's not entirely an unhappy feeling, it is weird. Still, if you asked me if I miss IIT, I'd probably not say yes immediately, and that's because it still hasn't sunk in that it is actually over. Yeah, I have a delayed response to all major events in my life, particularly the anticipated ones. I still remember that the fact that I was going to Sweden for exchange for a whole semester did not sink in till I woke up there on my second morning. It is a funny thing though, if you consider how I over-react to so many little things in life.
Anyway, yeah, I quit the HT intern despite everyone advising me not to. It really wasn't doing any value-add (it wasn't as if I was getting any of the girls), and going at 3 in the afternoon heat fora month to do grammar-check wasn't worth it, especially since I'd have to find something for July and Aug neverthless. I always wanted an opportuniy where I could write some, so maybe the area local newspaper would have to do, because learning photoshopping (actually, Quarkpressing) wasn't helping. So am looking for another intern, and meanwhile killing my time with little things at home. Have started gymming though, even started enjoying the daily hour of workout now, so hpefully all that extra flab I collected will begin to melt in a few weeks :)
Will go to IIT tomorrow. This feeling needs to hit me now, before I find myself struggling with Mumbai monsoon alone in a place far, far away.

Welcome to the club of "going to office but still feeling we never did anything constructive" this is just the beginning!
When the Mumbai Monsoon hits you, you won't be alone :D So I'm guessing you're in Powai today?
Regarding your passion for writing, don't limit yoruself to the local papers. There are various fields where you can nurture this passion too, like advertising (what me is doing *grin*), publication houses etc. There's also the big F - Freelancing :)
All the very best !
Hope you do find the internship soon..
:)
((hugs))
I have that feeling too, about getting the hit from things in a matrix style delayed motion. I also did a 5 years integrated course, I know the feeling. and during that five years, no matter where I went, I was always with the insurance that no matter, I always have IIITM to go back to. Without realising it, it has become a safe haven for me. But during the last week of those five years, I wanted to go, leave the place and not take a second glance back, not because I hate the place, but because I will miss the security of the place that was my home for almost a quarter of the life I have lived, and to take a glance back would have broken my spirit. ( cross posted to my blog )
It's only been two years for me but can you believe it, I am not willing to complete the no dues process yet because it will mean end of IIT!
And feels weird when your friends are still working ...sudden freedom can get boring.
I concur with the part of late reactions to major incidents - I personally have seen people acting to out-of-the-blue marriage proposals with a poker face at that moment, yet bringing the whole house down just because of a harmless lizard.. :P :P
And, come on, be a little more considerate, at least you could have spent some more time at the HT place and got the details of the girls for the parched souls like us - Well, what's over is over, at least please keep us in mind, when you start of on your next internship at a place swarmed by b'ful lasses - ok? :)
Gymming! Well thats probably last thing I can think for someone like u.
By the way, what about the dance class idea?
