Long Awaited

I know I have not been writing much lately. It is not that I am busy (I never am), just didn't feel like it. I hadn't been online much either, which led some people to believe that I was busy preparing for an interview. I have given up trying to correct others' misconception about my level of dedication. Anyway, the interview, like all interviews, came and went leaving me none the wiser.
The results were put up on the placement website today and three of my friends got selected. When I saw the notice I was ecstatic and called to congratulate them. The first person I called hadn't expected it and was happy beyond words. The second person had recovered enough to express regret that I hadn't made it and that I would surely land a job soon. That was when it hit me. Four months of interviews and I have nothing to show for it. Been feeling a little low since then.
On a happier note, I will be earning my masters degree soon. Was at the lab getting my report printed till late last night. That was quite an experience. Had a very late dinner at 12:30 am, which was fun, like picnics used to be when we were in school. :)
At times like these I sometimes wonder what my parents would think of me being out so late. I still have to remind myself sometimes that I am not in high school anymore, and they probably would think nothing of me staying out late to complete my work. You know, if you think about it, being an adult is really no fun at all. I may be wrong about that, maybe it's the mood talking. We will have to just wait and see...
I have a friend who is quite a fan of the 'ageing backwards' concept (popularized by a certain Mr. Button) and who feels that now would be a good time to start. I reserve judgement on that till I am in a better frame of mind to give an unbiased opinion. Still, I think I would like to be at least 35 before I age backwards. At least by then I will be nostalgic enough to appreciate the youth I'd be getting back. Frankly, right now, just before graduation, going back to school for 2+4+12+2 years doesn't seem like a very good idea!!
