An Outlet: Part 4

19 September, 2018.

I did it! I saw Bon Voyage Season 3 Episode 1!

Not the full thing tho. I could find a proper video of the first 24 minutes and the rest were all too corrupted for me to understand what was going on.

But howmuchever I saw was entertaining too! Showed them packing- JK packing only black and grey stuff, Jin with the toiletries, JHope with his and Jimin's freshly washed pyjamas, RM with his colourful outfits and V and Suga doing their own thing.

V had a personal emergency which is why he will join a couple of days late. Gives me deja vu feelings for Bon Voyage Season 1 where V had a gala time trying to reach the other members while getting lost in the midst.

Jin took his board in his backpack, this cool kid. Everyone made fun of Jin cause he forgot that batteries weren't allowed in luggage. I'm going to excuse him because I myself have no clue about the do's and don'ts of luggages.

They reached Malta and Jin rented a car for himself and JK. It's interesting to see the oldest and youngest drive. Jungkook, Jhope and RM were in one car while Jin, Suga and Jimin were in the other.

I saw their ride towards their hotels and their parking dilemma. Hilarious! They seem a bit more free this season. Maybe they were always this free? I don't know. They seem very relaxed now and that's what counts.

Okay I found another video. It's still giving me a lot of pain but I realised that the previous video that I watched cut some parts in the middle. Woah, it didn't look too edited to me but okay.

Today Gurtley and I visited a community Ganpati on our way to college. We had decided to do so even before the festival began. We went inside, took the lord's blessings and also checked out the dengue awareness installation and messages that they had put up. I think that's a very good initiative. People will primarily come to visit the Ganpati but some people (like me) would be curious to check out the other things as well so I think that was a very good thought.

We had a cost accounting lecture today and it was very productive. I had missed a couple of his classes the past few weeks so I was worried I'll be completely lost in the class. But I caught up fast because the chapter wasn't that difficult.

After the lecture, two (good) girls approached us to ask if any of us would want to work with them for the IAPM project. I think that solves our problem now. We are anyways 6 of us and we have to make groups of 4. So Gurtley and I joined these two and the rest four became one group. I was happy when one of those two girls said that they wanted to work with me only. I know she was only half joking but it felt nice to hear that someone wants to team up with me.:)

During break, I had lunch with my CEM group in our resident canteen. We began discussing about whether we really want to present today or not. Honestly, I was done with my part so I just wanted to get done with it once and for all. Paul's argument on the other hand was that he is still not satisfied with our work and does not want to compromise on marks by submitting mediocre work (considering that this is his major (it's my minor)).

Ultimately we decided to present next week but to work on finalising everything in class today. We went to class and the professor began calling out groups to present, based on his list. The two groups before us didn't even show up to class so by default, we were the first ones to present today. We tried convincing him to give us some more time to get organised but he wouldn't budge. He told us that my group would have to present without any more delay otherwise he would give us a -5 for late submission. We had a bit of a discussion whether we're okay with a -5 or not but in the end decided to present.

And he liked! He actually thought we had detailed our stuff very well and it was then when all of us collectively finally understood what the assignment was.

After the normal lectures got over, we were about to leave when we heard that there's a guest lecture by a writer/editor/songwriter. Paul and Kristen actually write so they immediately agreed to sit for it. I don't write anything apart from this journal so initially I wasn't going to attend but then I thought that I might as well sit for it because I can.

The lecture was quite frankly, very average. Since I don't write and don't have a lot of experience in the 'heart break' department- which was what most of the conversation revolved around- I couldn't relate. Nor was I inspired to write after it.

Kristen and Paul did ask questions and got involved in it because there was someone who knew about their love for writing. I had absolutely nothing to say and I'm glad that neither my friends nor the speaker and that contact asked me if I want to attend other things or not. Because I would've said yes even if I don't actually want to.

My battery died on me today and it just wouldn't switch on! The power and the volume buttons on my phone are messed up and my batteries drains very fast and takes AGES to charge. I think it's high time I visit the service centre before things go out of hand. Literally!

At night I unpacked my bag and finally watched the full 1st episode of Bon Voyage Season 3, including the first 24 mins that I watched yesterday.

The previous video I watched showed them parking their cars after reaching the lunch places. Jin causally started talking with a stanger. I aspire to have that kind of confidence.

They had a bet on who will get served first and the last three losers will have carry all of their bags. Namjoon, Jungkook and Jimin lost.

Then they had to find the hotel based on a photo, a kinda incorrect address and a (non Google) map.

It was interesting to see them split up when they had different views on which way to follow. It's always fun to see them split up and try to out do the others.

I missed Taehyung tho. In the beginning of the year, he seemed to be very reserved when I saw him on the Run BTS episodes. But he seems to have brightened up again (from what I see in their concert fancams) and I want to see this side of Tae Tae again.
