Back!! and Bitching!!

by Maryam

Yeah loong time no see, i know.

a) We've been busy. what with mids, then assignments n vivas then quizzes, the forthcoming FYP presentation (abt which, btw, evrybdy seems to be totally cluless...including our project supervisor...) and what not.

b) We've been lazy. yeah, i know, coming from a major victim of ADD, ds sounds funny bt all i seem to want to do these days is either sleep or...urm....or.... well, thats all i really want to do these days. Sleep!

c) Nuffin's been happening. its jst not us, bt post eid (s), nffinz really happend at uni worth blogging about. except the very mundane evryday stuff...

Come Oct/Nov/Dec.... and every single day you find yourself wishing birthdays n celebrating. Thank God for FB, now i don't need to spend half of my life apologizing to people for forgetting to wish em. same goz 4 zaf. I finally got A Case Of Exploding Mangoes as a birthday present from friends...:-D (brilliant novel, btw.) Since then, we've celebrated noman's, waqas's and awais's birthdays. Oh, and we've shifted from cakes to pastries now. Less messy and more eco friendly.

Helpful Note on b'day celebrations: when u shove cake down someone's throat, make sure they don't bite you. it's not cool.

As if life at UET wasn't bad enough....the clouds opened up and God said," Maryam, I hate you." and He chucked the meanest, creepiest, lamest 05 guys as TA's right on top of us.

(If you will sh*t me in class, i will sh*t you on my blog haha.... )

Tradionally, i've sucked badly at vivas. Throw a simple question at me (What day is it?) but throw it randomly, and you've lost me. And, trust me, me n zaf carry a bad, bad jinx. Any piece of equipment within a one meter radius of us refuses to function as expected. Call it Murphy's Law of Maryam-and-Zaf-The-Anti-Machine-Bitches.

Murphy's Law of Maryam-and-Zaf-The-Anti-Machine-Bitches:

If a machine will not crash even if you run it down with a truck, Maryam and Zaf will be able to crash it with their mere presence in the same room.

Teachers are genuienly baffled by this anomaly but we are pretty used to it now. Today we completed our microwave manual before anybody else and i nearly died with surprise. (Come to think of it, it just might have been because we weren't alone.... sahar was with us...hmmm. thats why..!!!) Predictibly the teacher refused to believe the ingenuinity of our work and and we had to revert to our you-frigging-think-we-frigging-bother-to-frigging-lie-to-you-!!! tones to force him to grade us. He still looked unconvinced later on but he dare not take us upfront and i harassed him into shutting up. Reminds me, he graded me really low on the assignment although it was the exact copy of (ok, not exact, but pretty much same as) zaf's, who incidently got full credit. What the...?! I wudda raised hell but i've got far more serious problems going on right now. Like a gpa which if my mom dear comes to know about, she's gonna disown me, and thats for starters. And an acute inability to memorize the impossible terms in Networks. And a major back log of Microwave...(holy crap...i got a quiz tomorow and i have NOT the faintest idea exactly how i am gonna be able to cover the 3-msgs long course content noman has just texted me....)

The last ten or so lecs of microwave (yes, we've had just that many microwave lecs lately..!!) have been Greek to me. I mainly spend my time in class either texting or laughing at the funny hairstyles of people or catching up on my sleep. When my guilty-as-hell conscience does manage to nudge me i just copy out what ever zahra zulfiqar has been studiously jotting down all through the lecture. Don't blame me.... listening to the microwave teacher is just about as interesting as watching a mosquito sleep. And there is just so much my ultra short attention span can hold...!

And I'm not even thinking about DSP. Oh, and it happens to be the only subject in which i apparently got an A in the mid. There is something almost sickeningly funny about it.....

And will somebody please tell me exactly why we are studying Operating Systems..?? I mean apart from the geeks and nerds and irritating know-it-alls, the whole course, and the teacher, is just going nowhere. Once upon a happier time, we used to have regular labs, now they are gone too. The whole thing is a goddamn joke. One that has stopped being funny.

Well, well. have i been complaining a lot?? There's more.

On Dec, 5th, Saturday night, UET IBM freshies arranged a welcome bonfire for themselves. Had a friggin party!! Anyone rem that quiz we had in the name of a welcome?? I shudda known then, my social life was about to be mercilessly finished.

Congrats to da EE team, and esp to all my friends who played on it, for beating the crap out of mechanical at football.

*BIG ROAR OF APPLAUSE*

Have been reading Life of Pi. Interesting read, so far.

Have been listening to Good Life by OneRepublic. The whole album is great. Check it out.

(p.s. No i don't like Susan Boyle..!!)

Paranormal Activity, saturday night. Can't wait. Who gives a sh*t about New Moon..?!

ciao.

p.s. To everybody i've managed to somehow offend lately: peace.

p.p.s In case you didn't notice, I've been working on my spellings.

RUMOUR MILL

by zaf

So one of the interesting feature of 7th sem has been the insanely and i mean insanelyy hot gossip/rumours..now my experiance and i can safely vouch for mrym too,we come to knw about stuff really late...according to ppl this is bcoz we are really oblivious to thngs around us,mast and live in our own little bubble..but alot of times we do keep pace with the time.as far as i m concerned i am not an actively social person and hav limited no. of frnds out of my immediate frnds..but still i do get my hands on some news..there ws a time when i used to get new gossip every thursday but that was alot of semesters ago..good ole days.


mrym tends to get a good amount of gossip thanks to her 'other' frnds..and these other frnds of her hav something against me becoz they hav the audacity to tell her kai "zaf ko na batana"!!..i mean seriously!..anyways i like to believe that mrym DOES tell me most of the stuff if not everything..so that is one of the rezns i dnt hav a soft spot for her 'other' frnds.


ZZ has alot of scandalous rumours/gossip at her disposal too but there are times when her story is half-baked or the key issue gets lost in the extremely detailed story.she sure has a panache for detail.
and as far as the guys are concerned.sometimes they bring stuff on the table which we are not anticipating at all..


coming back to rumours most of the rumours are based on the following topics e.g


-who is interested in whom

-who is hitting on whom

-who actually did hit on whom

-who is hooking up with whom

-who is in virtuality with whom..(for virtuality consult previous posts)

-the evergreen phaddas among ppl

-the real story behind the phadda

-the real real story behind the phadda

-image recreation (both frm left to right and right to left)

-young stud muffin teacher rumours (cant get enuf of that)

and lastly those damaging rumours which the whole university knws about,but talks about in a really hush hush tone..


so i do hear alot of rumours about other ppl..and in between i hear some rumours about myelf too..in the beginning when i cam here there ws a guy (nt of elect dept) who told me or rather warned that alot of rumours r circulating about me,turns out he (though he vehmently denied hs involvement) so hs frnds were involved in rumour spreading business too and well i ws pretty naive back then..(though not much better now either).

now the rumours mostly heard in uet are the sort of rumours which are most easy to create and spread really quickly too..and those r...which 2 ppl are a 'thing' or in crude term 'hookin up'.which brings me to another point that there is not even a single legitimate-by-all-standards couple in our class i.e former sec D!!,hell there is not even a single couple in whole 06 elect!.and i m talkin about those public couples everyone knws about,or there is a really strong chance that they r sumthin.there can be alot of lets keep it private couples but even when u hear sumthin about them u r not sure if its yet another rumour or is it for real.

now since this is the final year,lets see whether we get to hear about any marriage proposals..coz well i heard that ppl do tend to propose in final year.actually i already have heard about a couple of marriage proposals,not divulging into details but the proposal went flat before it even had a chance to truly blossom.so now hoping for a successful marriage proposal.we r actually starting a secret bet pool,u cn bet on ppl who will be proposing in final year (anyone interested!)

ok so now i m diverting from the topic..so thats it for now,u cn place ur bets (not kidding)...to all the rumour sources thanx for making uninteresting ppl suddenly noteworthy and letting us gossip about them (gossiping isnt a sin u knw,who m i kidding 'sigh')..and lastly goodluck to all the people who are planning to DO sumthin in the final year,cz well u need all the luck in the world.

UNIVERSITY AGAIN (other side of the story)

by Zaf

ok so 2nd last semester.i chose different subjects.i was really happy about the choice bcoz for the first time i actually thought that i mite get a good gpa (wishful thinking) but still...so everyone knows the usual story..me and mrym both dnt like to go to uni,dint want our hols to end and...so on.so i enter the dept,the lobby is loaded with people.i already knw that my section is different coz of the mixed subject thing but i m still hoping that i mite hav classes wid mrym and the guys..but then my hopes got shattered.and instead i had all my classes wid section A.

so mryms first 2 lecs wer with sir zubair and i was free.those 2 hrs wer one of the worst new semester first day experiance..first i sat in lobby,then i went to gcr,then i went to mumtaz lib,then i again went to lobby but all seats wer occupied,again went to mumtaz lib,after a while again checkd lobby still seats occupied,so finally back in mumtaz library.so i kept roaming between mumtaz lib,gcr and lobby for about an hour!!..now in third period telecom ppl are free but i hav dsp class with sir kauser..but he dint come now sec E had only one sec D girl apart frm me and all other girls wer of sec A...sec D guys must hav been 8 or 9...to tell the truth sec A girls are really friendly but its jst difficult to make new frnds at this stage..

so no dsp lec and i m free now.waqas and ad wer having their high voltage lab so i waited for like 15-20 min for them in main block..(coz i cudnt walk alot in my new shoes or clothes :D)..nyways sat wid my frnds for awhile and tried to figure out if they r missing me or not and then they had OS.i tried to attend the OS lec but it was pretty boring so left the class..the moment of the day was when i accidently said DNA loudly while the OS sir was passing..i hope he is not reading but he is cald DNA apparently..so the first day was boring and tiring but i still wasnt thinkin about changing my section yet.i thot that with time i mite settle in but hate to admit it i missed hangin out with my frnds.

the 2nd day i had my labs and my PSA lec too...my class was wid sec D.honestly there r way too many students in power and i mean way too many..!!.there wasnt even space in class for ppl to sit..the teacher was ok nuthin much to write about hm...And while in differernt section most of the txting consisted of this...kahan ho?,free kab hona hai?,loby mai,farigh nahi hona!!,i m free,i hav a class,busy,or simply ????.

ok now the moment when i realized that i need to change my section was when i was in the dsp lab and despite talkin to other ppl i still felt lonely and though i knew that i can settle in my sec with time,i jst wasnt willing to make the effort..(wht an emotional outpour!)

so that day i decided to change my subject in order to get in sec B..not gona lie but i m still bummed about dropping psa for microwave..and if i get a bad grade in microwave i m gonna bitch about it in my heart (not publicly but i knw i wont be able to help it)..so i still sometimes thnk if choosing microwave is the rite thing or not but thats the way it is...initially i had decided on pure power,then changed it to mix and now comm...i really dint thnk that i wud go for comm,i was really hell bent on goin in power but well thngs dnt always turn out the way u plan them..

so now in sec B finally i.e telecom (uet ki c----- qaum!!telecom telecom) lol its kinda funny.no comments about fan club frm me!!!.Bcoz i believe that PPL CHANGE THEIR SECTION/SUBJECTS COZ THEY WANT TOO!!..on another note section B is really boring everyone jst studies all the time...and to my former section D i knw i wasnt kind in assessing u but i hav to admit u wer really alot better and fun then the present section...the only ppl who say 'bus' is well the girls.


good things about changing my section,frnds ofcourse and zz's scandalous gossip/rumours cant get enuf of it..and lastly today i attended my first microwave lec and widout a doubt it was a bigggg Snoozefest!!!..

nyways this is pretty much for rite now...and last thing ppl it wudnt hurt to follow us!!.

ps
@ mrym i dint knw that u missed me so much (overwhelmed!)

University Again

by Maryam

(If ur offended after reading this; thats ok with me.)

Seventh semster has started and is well into it's second week. Predictibly it felt perfectly horrible to have to come back, ruined my last weekend cz i wz bz mournin da end o hols.

Mondays have a tendency to be especially nasty, and when its the first monday after a 3 month long break it feels perticulaly bad. Following tradition me n zaf endured thru one of the worst first days back ever.

Awais picked me up in the morn, (late as usual) as i dint hav the heart nor the stomach to actually go on the route the very first day. It was raining nd since i hv a very specific aversion to rain (im a sun person inside out) it did nothing to improve my mood. Wz welcomed by the unwelcome sight of a crowd o ppl gathered in the dppt lobby (evrybdy pretending to figure out thr time tables from the notice board bt actually chkin out evrybdy elz, new hairstyles, new clothes etc etc). I felt too miserable to do nefin beside smiling n waving half heartedly at some of the familiar faces. Soon ran into a harassed zaf who furthur dampened my spirits by telling me we wr in diff sections nd wd hav none o r lecs togethr. Blow!!

First lec wz computer networks. Dragged my self into da class n plopped down wd ZZ. Thank gosh a friendly somebody wz in da same class. Noman n Awais cald me frm behind n lo n behold, Micheal's new haircut....!!! :D (that lifted my spirits...!!! u rock, mike! ) The lec itself wz boring. (i wish smbdy wd ban da use of slides by the teachers... thy r such a drag..i like a moving teacher.. rem dr. irfan?? nd it dint hurt he wz cute too ;-) ) I half slept,half doodled away the hour, nd thankfully the teacher let us off early.

Wasn't spozzd to take da DSP lab tht day, bt staying wd guys ( my mantra: guys r dumb) jams my brains too. So i stupidly followed them to da lab wdout first chkin wd my timetable. Thr a couple o odr *innocent* gals lyk me also sat, oblivious to the fact tht we wr not sppozed to be thr at al- it wz da odr half of the class's lab. Neway it turned out to be ok, the lab i mean. were let off early again n predictibly da young geeky guy calling himself r teacher told us he'd workd on da lab for barely a month nd he hoped to learn along wd us. (now y dz tht remind me o a certain charming somebdy *wink wink*......)

Wr free 4 an hour before OS now. Us frnds got togthr for a catch-up, da guys tellin me i lukd evn more ill tempered thn i normally do n id better do sffin abtit else it myt permanently disfigure my face. OS ws a disaster. i like C, n i noe it too, n i don need a teacher who mumbles or grumbles (take ur pick) to lead me thru C lyk a novice. Three fourth of the class walked out within da first 15 mins bt the teacher, God bless him, dint flinch. He bored us all for the whole o the two hours n i cd barely keep my eyes open at the end of it.

All in all, a bad, bad first day.

People had been harpin on abt da DSP prof, the seniors sayin he ws one o da best thr wr, swearin by his brilliance bt personally i think tht genius by no means equates to gud teaching skills. The students in his first lec the next day, practically sat in awe of the great one. Oh, not that he's a bad teacher at all. we'v jst had one double lec so, frankly, cant say mch.

Microwave engg is dead boring too.What a surprize. I cdnt keep track of the lec at all, gud for u if u did. Microwave and Networks lab wr both one hour, intro affairs. the teachers dn seem tht bad either. They r both polite nd dn luk lyk thier main aim in lyf is to not give you an A. Fingers crossed.

Being in da same sec as the guys from C is both amusing n annoying. First it came as a shock

tht ppl wr actually answerin questions. For three years, D hd been the laziest imaginable crowd. We wd brazenly stare, glass eyed while the teachers wd try all tricks in da book to shake us all out of

our unholy trance. Answering questions was a taboo, especially if u actually knew the correct answer. So mostly the trend was, u let the teacher get into a hysterical state of frustration before some of the girls wd pluck the courage to answer. The art we perfected as a group, however, was to steer class discussions as far away from the actual topic as possible.We thrived on irrelevance.

Crash nd boom. Enter the nerds o C who ask questions they very well know the answer to, just to a) humliate the rest of the class or/and b) show off thier knowledge.

Ha, screw you, we don' care..!!

Zaf changed her subjects so tht thankfully, shez ended up in the same section as me nd im happily bk to enjoyin her sullen, attitude ridden company in class. I like ZZ a lot too, bt i cant tell her my cheap jokes. I hated being alone during free lecs (oh, i love da guys i hang out wd bt guys dn chk out guys - n wn thy do i do not wanna c it..!! - so i guess i missed the usual ogling that happens in the radius of 3~4 meters of wrever my pretty frnd is :-) ) So, goody good, shez back where I belong!

Her fanclub has been religiously following her around as she scurries from one section to another, n changes her subjects evry odr day. The poor kids r apparently terrible at makin up thr own minds abt wt exactly thy wana study so thy either ask her abt her latest/current/future prefrences or make thr own guesses abt wt she myt choose on good faith. (Note to the fanclub nd doz wd disturbingly similar ideas: listen guys, guess wt, she still aint goin out wd u. Trust me. ) I hav told her of havin a bit of fun by tellin them something else and doin something else and then to sit back n enjoy the show bt she has finally leant to distrust, and hence keep away from, my cheap shots. (That makes her boring, tho. Nebdy els interestd?? ) Still, gud to hav da love-struck lot bk in class. Id say, they r really not as dumb as they luk. Nobody could be.

Am missin waqas n adnan, who'v moved to da odr sec. :-( Don gt to c a lot o em nemor. Miss the

fun.

Woah woah. i hadnt meant to write so much. guess, will get bk after eid nw. ciao, n happy uet!!

p.s. Lukin 4 a copy of A Case of Exploding Mangoes by M. Hanif. The hardcopy is still expensiv n paperbacks havent come yet. Neone who could lend me..?? You cd borrow ds excellent Mossad non fiction im reading dz days (By Way Of Deception by C. Hoy and V. Ostrovsky), in turn.

Phadda at the Presentation Day - What Really Happened

by Maryam

dedicated to H.S.

who convinced me thr wz anothr syd to da story too

In case you've forgotten (and thrz a high chance ud hv since it wz SUCH a long tym bk...) ds post is abt da big phadda tht happnd da day v hd our comm skills presenations in 4th semester. Most o u ppl wd hv a rough idea o wt happend and thr wd b some God fearing souls who wd nt hv a clue o exactly wt im tawkin abt (skip da post thn..u wnt hv ne idea evn by da end).

Here's what happened as i know it.

For me it was a screwed day since morn. i argued wd frnds as we drove to da uni (late as usual, thx 2 awais), zahra wz frantically txtin me 2 ask wr i was since ours wz da first group to present and i jst wasnt feelin tht gr8, neway. Talk abt bad vibes.

Thn it wz presenation tym. it wznt al tht bad. v had da qs/ans sessions too. (rem...??!! i enjoyed that!) and al in al, v winded up rather nicely. i was feelin slightly better by tht tym. One by one the presenations continued, some wr boring, some wr funny and some wr brilliant.

As the day passed things started gettin out of hand. the teacher got wierder and wierder; da guys started havin fun; the fun got mean; i forgot to mind my own business and managed to piss da teacher off with my unwelcome remarks and ostentatious support for my friends tht actually ended up creating more trouble for them (haha). still, it cudda ended as a not so bad day... but poor little me, no.

A friend o myn, a uet senior, lets call him X, txtd me a hwdy. i told him i was havin a bad tym wd da teacher n he txtd bk to tel me to keep him postd. i busied muself in txtin n generally ignoring the teacher as he ranted on abt hw ill mannered i was ( no news to me :p ). i swear i stil don noe wt happend next. the teacher's rant was still on n he sd sffin tht hit me lyk a bullet n DAMN, i lost my cool then. u noe wn i get mad, i scare evn myself. so i jst got up n walked out o da class. Apparently the teacher lost his cool then too. He swore he'd get back at me n teach me a lesson in manners. (My amma's bn tryin tht for 20 years).

Now most o da above u'd noe alrdy cz u wr probably in class tht day, havin a gud tym n laffin n wonderin y i wz makin sch a fuss neway. This is the inside scoop now.

As soon as i was out, X cald n askd wt hd happnd. i told him my whole sorry tale, swore n cussed at da teacher n cried foul play. X got worked up, told me to stay exactly wr i was until he cd himslf come along n investegate. On da way he pikd up anothr frnd, lets call him Y, n together thy promised me they'd get me out o da shit id landed myslf into as soon as possible.

Y went n tawked to the teacher who was, well, not exactly pleased by my attitude. He sd he'd leave me alone if id jst say sorry. I refused point blank. I dunno wt story Y cooked up, bt the teacher cooled off a lot. In da mean while my odr frnds wishd me luck n went home. after Y had managed to nag the taecher into leaving me well alone he came to me n told me (check ds out:) tht da guys o my class wr hanging out wd da teacher n urging him to take action against me n my frnds. Acc to Y da guys said sm seriously nasty stuff abt me. i was furious. X n Y told me da guys o my class wr simply havin fun at my expense. Later,X drove us both home n i vowed to myslf id get back at da guys wn ds business was over.

The teacher wz not such a soft cushion after al. he rang up one o my frnds who sd sffin 2 him whch he wznt suppozd to say...and da teacher got mad once again. The next day he rang up Y n told him he wz ready to take da whole thing to da chairman. Y was caught off guard. Next thing we knew, the teacher hd rung up Y's father n complained abt hz beahviour. Y's father was bewildered. Y freaked out n told me trouble wz at hand.

Now as this whole thing wz goin on, the teacher ( had he NOTHING else to do at tht tym..?! wasting hz time on a lowly student..?! honestly!!) also got in touch wd da clsss CR n askd him to mk me tawk to him. the CR tried to tawk to me bt i wz mad at him n hz frnds since, apparently thy hd bad mouthed me last nyt. Y kept tellin me tht da CR n da odr guys of my class wr jst creatin mor n mor trble, thy wr tawkin to the teacher, hell, thy wr spyin on us (whch wz dumb). i wz gettin freaked out by now. i got hold o da poor CR after lec one day n yelled my head off at him. The guy listend pateintly n tried to put across hz point bt i dint let him. I'm sorry i did tht.

As soon as i hd vented out my anger, i got anxious to bury da mess. Y told me to act smart, blame da guys n get out before any real harm wz done. By ds tym i wz ready 4 almst nefin so i agreed. Y turned up in class one day, the teacher listened to us both and i patched togethr a bunch o half truths n half lies n acted da part o da damsel in distress while Y coaxed da teacher into giving up. and so da teacher happily patted me on da head n sd it wz alryt.

We all (tried to) live happily evr after.

Moral o the story: Stay away frm tht God damned, nut case madhouse teacher.

i dunno wt wz true, wt wznt. n i dn care. if smbdy did indeed act mean tht day n nyt, thy wr nt alone cz i wz a mean bitch too (always am). Lookin back, it wz fun n funny, n if things lyk ds dint happen lyf wd b terribly boring.

FIRST ENCOUNTER

by Zaf

first of all @ mrym
doin great work at ur internship.i hope ur supervisior sees u doin this.

ok the physical encounters r mostly covered now...though they r definately more fun and more embarrassing.
one random encounter which i remember gz somthin like this...


The day of the ENTRY TEST

me and my frnd(not maryam!) waitin for the classes to be set up.some random guy checkin us put but we r too preoccupied to give much attention.

test finishes we cum out and i start finding my dad..meanwhile random guy cums

guy: aoa
me: walaikum us salam (do i knw hm or anythin...is he frm that star academy or sumthin)

guy keeps on asking how was the test and which college r u frm and blah blah and i keep answering while my frnd is stonily staring at me...
guy keeps on asking questions and then i spot my dad coming frm behind hm.i wave my dad and guy spots my dad too.

guy: aoa uncle!
dad: walaikum...?!!
guy: ok phir allah hafiz hope aap ka admission ho jaye.
dad: lets go then
frnd: zahra aisay logoon sai baat nai kia karo..pata nahi kahan sai a jatay...my sis told me kai aisay cheap laug hotay hai.......

university of error and terror?!?!

by Zaf

well my turn now...at last
since mrym has already explained the blog is abt uet and all thngs related to it..the good,the bad,the ugly,the sucky and the effed up..bt its not gonna mess up my sanity as badly as mryms..and xcuse me bt (selfishness==pragmatism)!!!.bt the princess is ready to face any shots so bring it on..!.

so here i go now i wont go as far as to say that i hate uet coz in the words of plain white ts.."hate is a strong word but i really really really dnt like u"(do check out the song btw).so thats the way it is for me.

i wud jst to like to say that mrym shud thank me coz i did allow her to write the first post and that was becoz american idol rerun was on..:D...other ppl will be discussed later bt still thanx to them with slightly altered rezns. i need to see greys anatomy now..

peace
