Being high at SOFTEC !!
Come SOFTEC 2006 and it's time to travel to Lahore ( and get high !! ).
We had an awesome third position at SOFTEC 2005, so it was like this time, we were expected to win, or else get our asses whacked.
And guess what ? We won SOFTEC 2006 !!

One heck of a year!
Man !! That could keep me going for years !!
T.E. at NED was a mess. I did all sorts of things, except studies, which I hated ( my transcript makes this more visible, if you are not convinced ).
The first new great thing that I explored was going to programming competitions. Man !! That was awesome. We had three competitions, and we were like fourth, third and second, in the first, second and third competitions. So it was quite an improvement.
I had a great unexpected win in a software competition also !
BILL !! You gotta come up with a better pickup line, or else, asking her SAT score is definitely not going to do it.
I did a couple of nice projects, wrote a couple of paper-like things, enjoyed hanging around with friends after school, and getting high ( not literally ;) ) !!
Exams ? What are you talking about ? I'm high !!
