Grad life ver1.0

I'm broke. Well not exactly as I still have $3.73 in my account and $0.99 in cash, but thats the standard answer I have for anything that requires an investment of more than 25 cents.
And I am particularly not happy about my current state of finances because I can't go to watch this.
I read Great Expectations when I was in 11th std as part of my English course. And it had a great influence on me. The brilliance of the book lies in ease with which teens of that age relate to the book. I must have read it at least ten times, and every time I discovered something new which I had missed earlier!
Coming back to my present state of affairs, graduate life is sad, especially till you get your first paycheck. Though there have been fun moments too! Classes started on 24th, and the whole of the week is celebrated as "Welcome Week."
Now put 52000(approx) students in a university(which is the largest in US currently!) and celebration takes on a whole new meaning. It was one week of free food, free t-shirts, free time, music, DJ, dance. Add a brilliant weather and it feels like paradise.
Well that day I was talking to my mom and my sis and happened to mention oval which is sort of the center of all happenings around here. For some reason they both end up searching flickr for oval and end up with this result! I'm sure that if I didn't have a girlfriend already I'd have had a tough time explaining what I've been enjoying out here :P
