College and things

Haven’t been blogging for a long while now. For all those who love/hate me and have been bored seeing my page not updated for such a long, am sorry. Just that the sudden change of routine with college beginning took its toll.

College begun and all the fears morphed into realities. Heavy workload with no respite. Though i must say registration-room shifting day was the most exhausting. With five hours of sleep behind me i'd turned zombie-like by evening. Imagine huge queues, running all over campus (Kgp ain't a small place) and in the end moving atleast 30 kgs worth of luggage from a ground floor room to a 2nd floor room all by yourself. The killer thought is that I have around 26 hours of classes per week. Four labs, meaning only a single afternoon off! I could jump off the 2nd floor worrying myself about all the load.

And I can bomb the Acad Secn. with absolute glee. If they can't assign courses then why are they even there. A zillion guys are running from Prof. to Prof. for courses due to timetable clashes. Profs will their way always and have been forever doing it. And so the poor student is the one who ends up with the worst part of the deal. Thankfully have been able to stay out of this cycle. And have something to thank my lucky stars for.

Not that they are being thanked enough, though. The fact is each and every single day of I always end up going to sleep a happy person. And yes, talking to The Person does that to you.

Today in fact is the first weekend and probably so much more precious. A day when I can wake up at 10 in the morning listen to Mark Knopfler sing “Sailing to Philadelphia” and send a second year to fill up my water bottles from the distant coolers. Aah! The luxuries of being a senior. My computer was acting funny for a few days. Got a second year guy to try and figure out what the joke was. And he did too! Small problems outsourcing, not a bad thing at all!

I see that a lot of other blogs too haven’t been updated for a long time now. Never realized college could have such a considerable effect on blogsphere. Hopefully will be back to blogging for good in a few days but maybe the old rhythm will be elusive. Till then my mirror of emotions, bloggie dear, dontcha miss me!
