The winters have finally begun, average temperatures hovering around 13 C. It is quite an experience for someone who hasn't been in a winter before (I have, since I spent 7 years in Delhi). There are quite a few people on campus who are having a fit trying to stay warm. And speaking of fits, my class is about to have one as we have class everyday at 8:30 am. And that means getting up at the God foresaken hour of 8:00 am and seeing your roomies sleeping in a foetal position under their blankets. Then comes the struggle of finding your slippers because invariably someone comes and takes them while you were sleeping and putting them away somewhere you just cannot fathom. Following that you struggle to touch the tap to get water to brush your teeth and once the water flows out you jump up a mile because the water is friggin' cold! You have barely brushed and its already 8:25.
So you rush out of the washroom, take your bag and run....... only to reach the class at 8:32 am (kindly remember the class is supposed to start at 8:30 am). Now here comes the twist in the tale. If the class is a MPI (Marketing Planning and Implementation) class then out Prof locks the door at 8:30 sharp and we loose attendance! So you wake up at 8 am and dont even get attendance. Life is so fair! On top of that we have had a MPI class almost every day (we are supposed to have only 2 lectures per subject every week). And we get a new case for every class, a negative marking quiz which is quite unfathomable!!!!
If that is not enough I have an extra MPI class tomorrow morning AGAIN at 8:30 am and I have no clue as to whether I will make it or not. And if I dont then I will have missed 4, which means an automatic grade dock for MPI at the end of the semester!!!! So I cannot say I haven't had uneventful term so far. Did my first MR project at Illumina, opened for Indian Ocean \m/ and have not been attending half my classes.
Also suddenly I have started developing a feeling that I just might sign out of placements next year and do something on my own..... Lets see how that goes.......
Till the next time you read my blog,
cheers
moksha
PS: I still pray for all the troubles to be over for all my friends!!!!
