Fabulous First Week in Seattle

It has been a day and a week after I landed in Seattle, the largest city in the pacific northwest and in the state of washington. I had a horrible journey consisting of multiple delays and one miss because of thunderstorms and immigration rush respectively. But apart from that, everything has been the opposite of horrible. September is one of the best times to arrive in Seattle in terms of the weather. People say it rains a lot and I have already seen almost all kinds of weather in my first week, but the weather is fantastic. It is very different from India and sweating is something that you will see only if you hike or cycle or do some physical exercise.

My first week was hosted by 2 Indian students here in the university. They are part of an organization that helps other Indian students with the initial accommodation and other things till the students find something for themselves. The word fabulous in the blog's title was added as a result of their hospitality and their good will. I really appreciate their efforts to pick students from the airport, accomodate the students, help them with apartment hunting, cooking, phone connection and what not.

The University campus is magical. It just grows on you and you feel like going back there again and again. Although my classes have not yet started, there is something or the other lined up almost everyday until the classes start. So, the pre-MBA time has just showed me what lies ahead of me. But the whole class and the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable. I met many of my class mates and they are all wonderful. It is really exciting to go to school again and interact with so many nice people. I will keep posting updates as and when I get the time. I really would like to write regularly but I am not sure if my schedule will permit me.
