So, after 13 weeks of struggling, i was finally emancipatetd from the most difficult chapter in my life (which i hope it holds true forever). About two days before we hit the road, nature had unleashed its fury through Katrina. New Orleans was forcibly made to Venice, and the gas price shot up as a result of the damages on oil rigs. It went up as high as 5 usd per gallon in Atlanta, and we had received rumours that the gas stations nationwide were going to strike for a week. Of course, those were just rumours, but they indeed cast an ominous shadow on our journey back to Ann Arbor.
We went to Missisipi first to check out. It was a long drive (about 13 hours), and we reached there pretty late. So, after checking out, Mr Ramesh (the boss of the internship company) invited us to spend a night in his house. We continued our journey back the next day. It was another 12 hour drive. On our way, we stopped by at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC).
In UIUC, we managed to meet up with our msian friends (Yik Han, Billy, Jing Jet). We had our lunch/dinner there at a Korean restaurant.
We reached Ann Arbor at 1.00 am that night. And that marked the end of my saga...
