what a relief!!
The mid sems are finally over...Although oficially it is over today, unofficially it got over the last Saturday itself. It was basically a report submission today. Although it still carried 2 credit points, an open book examination done in the hostel in the comfort of your room with all your friends around you is a different proposition altogether. The element of tension and wild anticipation is not there, and no matter how tough the assignments are, you have all the goddamn resources at your disposal at the click of a mouse!
The problem is that 98% of the guys did 98% of their work yesterday night, when honestly speaking, an equal and judicious distribution of time over a period of two days would have taken 98% of the load of their shoulders. But these are the idiosyncrasies of an Engineering student- they just cannot reconcile themselves to the fact that studies need to be done well before the examinations too... Waiting till the eleventh hour is something that comes naturally to us- we seem to revel in it, and just cannot do without it.. It is almost as if until and unless you associate an exam with a flurry of activities just 15 hours before the exam, then it is not really an exam in the truest sense of the term..
Can you believe this? I had a night out yesterday and still finished it at the 11th hour 59th minute 59th second... Can it get more frantic than that?
I guess that is why i feel this amazing wave of relaxation passing by me as it dawned upon me that finally, it is all over...
well, at least for the time being...I am eagerly look forward to a sleepy time at home this Puja...My(well actually my sister's) Labrador must have grown tall and big too... he would be a treat to the eyes now... Majestic,black,royal Labrador- whom we lovingly call "honey"....
