It has been more than 3 months since I graduated from the university. I thought of writing this blog to sum up some of the events that happened in the University from the day that I first went there and to the day I left. This is a blog that should have been written some time back ( not sure when exactly ) but I'm glad that I came up with the idea of writing this even now.
University of Colombo School of Computing ( most know it as UCSC ) is where I did my higher studies with the hopes of becoming a software engineer someday. After 4 (very short) years at the university, I thought of sharing my experiences with others.
I can still remember the day that we all came to the university for the first time. It was a rainy day and had lots of trouble because of that. That day all the newcomers were requested come with their parents because of the introduction that had been scheduled. Our academic year started after about a week from that day. In the first month we had an training about basics in computing. It was like the best days of university life. Every morning and evening our seniors grouped us together and gave us guidance and time to get to know each others. We were also engaged in fun activities and various kinds of sports as well. All of us were very sad when that period was over.
During the next 4 years at the university we engaged in various activities ranging from organizing preaches to organizing island wide competitions and also various trips. One of the most memorable thing about the university life was the organizing of the annual "pirith preach" which was organized by our batch. We all did a considerable amount of hard work to get it done. These pictures are some of the decorations we did for that ceromony.
The most memorable incident that affected all of us was the funeral of the founder of UCSC, professor V.K.Samaranayake. We were there at his funeral and it was the most memorable one.
I hope not to talk about all the 4 years in my university life. But when I come to think of those times, I still feel that was the best years of my life. We did many activities there, we had many challenges, how we faced those challenges and how we finished 4 years of university life is an experience that words can not explain.
