EASY? YEAH RITE

A couple of days back, i was having one of my usual late night chat sessions with a few of my friends and the idea for this post sprung up when one of my friends commented on how easy it was to be a cricketer doing his engineering at SRM, India's no 1 private university.

Alrite, being a cricketer, i get to attend a maximum of one month of college because of matches. So that means i get to be away from 2 months of boring lectures. But unlike wat people think, the fun ends there. twhen i do come back after those to two months, i end up completing 3 months worth of portions in 3 weeks, i say 3 weeks because the 4th week is allocated to running across 250 acres of campus, from department to department, shuffling between classes and tests( i once ended up doing 5 exams in a single day!!! :S) and not to forget, spending half my fortune on getting my OD forms photocopied. and if this is not enough, i sometimes get to meet and submit separate letters to HODs of respective departments to finish my lab work. wow, cool isn't it. And when i am finally done with that, the management of SRM, India's no 1 private university tell me four days before the exam that i had forgotten to submit the hall ticket form and that i wont be able to write the exam this sem. the day before the exam, after i've run around half the campus and spent a fortune on telephone bills, the same staff gives me a O-M-G YOU ARE SO DUMB look and says "son, i was jus joking, why did u have to make n ass of yourself. here's ur hall ticket!!!!!!" oh the bloody @$%%$@#

Then comes the fun part- the exams. 2 weeks of maths, physics and their genetically advanced offsprings that could leave any normal person with severe brain damage. but guess what, am a cricketer doing his engg(that automatically makes me one abov the rest) so i dont get affected by this neuorological syndrome. i finally get done with my exams and after a month, when the results are out, my friends give me a pat on the back and say "what, u are a sports quota student. they would have given u high internals, that explains ur good score!!!!!!!!!" :S ftw, i get to slog out for one full month, i spend sleepless nites completing assignments, lab records and studying for n number of tests and when i finally get a good score, they say "YOU GOT IT EASY"

EASY?!?!?!!? yeah rite. try giving it a try. :P

STUDY HOLLS?!?!!? YEAH RITE.. :D

U know what the worst part of a semester is?
of course, its the STUDY HOLLS, the one week's time alloted before the exams for studying during which time we usually end up doing everything except studying.

Yeah yeah, it was no different in my case as well, though this time around, i had a valid reason to be not studyin, ya that's rite, i had my league games which unfortunately had to be extended till the month of may, the month during which the sun seems brighter than the yellow on the CSK jersey(believe me, it was so damn hot) :S :D

The matches went off really well and as u guess i was really upbeat, and really tired as well cos 6 hours under that hot sun really drained me. So that ruled out any possibilities of me studying after i returned from the match [which was already very very slim ;D]


But i really had a lot of time on hand. So after a quick shower after the game, it was time for some movie watchin. And movie watchin i did. I actually ended up downloading and watchin a wide range of movies. Name the genre, i had been there, done that. ;)

The last league game of the season ended up today and obviously, it was time to chill out and chill out i did with a movie marathon. 3 movies straight and i must admit, i totally loved watchin them. good choice of movies i guess cos i didn't really get bored.

The best of the lot i watched today was of course, the latest hollywood animation flick, "HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON", a brilliant movie and a must watch for those who are looking for clean, wholesome entertainment unlike the other hollywood movie which i saw and also totally liked, though i must admit, the viewership would be limited to restricted age groups and sections of the society. ;D

Time seems to be running in super fast mode now with barely 4 days left before my first exam starts. And considering the way things function at INDIA'S NO 1 PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, I guess i'll be losing one more day in the process of collecting my hall ticket. So now it comes down to jus 3 days, and this time i must admit, i definitely am up with my back against the wall. jus hope everything works out well.

Until next time,

Adios...

my 2 weeks that weren't!!!!!!!

Omg, the past two weeks have been hell for me. Having missed a whole month of classes because of my matches, i ended up landing straight for my cycle tests. With no books or class notes to study from, i was left with pretty much very little to do. A bout of food poisoning made me miss my first exam, and with that went my chances of getting the maths textbook i needed so much for the next exam.


With no book at al, i ended up doing really badly in my math exam. I did get the rest of my books that day though but time was definitely not on my side. I ended up sleeping through a major portion of my study time for the remaining exams. One week later, my results arrived. And as expexted, i've got really poor grades. And as if all this wasnt enough, i've got a couple of staff members who rarely cooperate.


Things could have been worse had my match on monday not been postponed. thank goodness, cos i had an exam on monday and if i had missed it, my grades would have gotten worse.


Hoping that things in college would change for good. anyways, before i go, here's my sms pick of the week:

Never worry about the delay of your success compared to others.
Because construction of a pyramid takes more time than an ordinary building.

Wishing everyone the best of luck,

adios!!!!
