Go Manipal!

Finally all the proceedures done!
It took about a month for everything to get over!... and finally I am a student of Manipal University! I can remember how I packed my bags and rushed to Bangalore leaving myself unaffected by the wedding fervour! Here's a detailed account of all the running around that led me to getting admissions in Manipal finally!

12th May : Downloaded the application form and took prinouts, filled them since the next day was (thirteenth)!!
14th May: Scanned and sent a copy fearing the courier may not reach in a day.. Couriered the form with the DD and everything through DTDC
16th May: Received the hall ticket for the entrance exam on 7th!

... a brief pause of 15 days till i started 'mock' preparations for the test using GRE manual!

5th June : Left for Manipal
6th June: Went and saw Manipal institute of Communication, talked to the Director, explored whole of the Campus
7th June : D-Day for examinees, gave the 'oh-so-difficult' examand eagerly waitied for results
8th June: The results were out and I got rank Three [yay!]
9th June: Packed bags back to Bangalore while in the process of mentally preparing myself for everything every minute! :(
11th June: Got the admission and estimate notice to pay fees and confirm admission
18th June: Paid the fees and confirmed my seat at MIC...

Now that all that's said and done and done with!... I have to remind myself time and again not to let parents pamper swo much, lest I feel so weak to actually leave them and go. Perhaps the excitement of the course will take over the fear. Perhaps the excitement of shopping new clothes will overcome everything...
Perhaps the excitement stays till I waive a good-bye to Bangalore and begin my Masters in Manipal from July 27th 2009!
...
Perhaps!......
