Getting warmed up!


Hi ppl. After a lot of laziness and a 15 hr sleep, i have decided to begin my preparations for study.
As a matter of fact, i wasted my holidays (not all of them, but many...) playing Ghost Recon and AOE on lan.
Lan gaming is a really addicting experience, once you get hooked, there's no going back.

I have my semester exams in NIIT this 28th.
My college starts from the 23rd.
My Cat classes have already started.

All these mean only one thing to me.. more exams .. more study.. more fun..

My NIIT
---------
The course which i am pursuing at NIIT is a "two and a half " year course, attractively named
" Integrated ANIIT for Engineers". There are five Semesters in the course, which covers all the topics from
C# to ado.net,core & advanced java,data structures, sql srvr, testing tools and windows application development.
We have exams at the end of every semester, apart from paper presentations, project work and seminars.
My primary purpose of joining NIIT was vendor certifications. Yes, international certifications from Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, Cisco and Red Hat.

About certifications
--------------------
Everyone in the computer field has to understand one fact... the technology keeps changing on a daily basis, and we cant keep track of each and every change. We wont be proficient in any field if we dont update ourselves and prove potential employers that we are well worth it. blah blah blah

Thats what everyone else would say! but not me. I believe in a factor called "self satisfaction". I would like to be a microsoft certified developer, because, apart from looking good on my profile, it also increases the satisfaction of the customer . It would open up a whole new range of possiblities. well. this is my point of view.

Other Interests
---------------,
At present i have started learning Japanese actively. Hopefully I will be bloging in jap in a few months(just kidding). It is a self study from the materials online , but having watched over 500 hrs of japanese , i feel that is is not hard to speak at all. Writing is a different issue altogether. Hoping for the best results.Let's wait and see..


My accessories
---------------
Apart from my Dell XPS, the only other electronic gadgets i own are An LG bullet mobile and a tattered PC (P4
240 gb,1.24 gb ram, 845 motherboard.)
I spend almost all of my time in front of the pc, but i do take breaks to talk. And when i start talking, the conversations extend to a greater part of 30 min when others make a call, and an obscene 30 to 40 sec whenever i call( if it is really urgent :) )
I am not particularly stingy, but only when it comes to mobiles bcos i am too lazy to go and buy a recharge card.
I never purchased a single one till now, and i own my mobile for nearly an year now !
