Week 25 - Post Interval action

I should probably change the blog posting day to wednesday.. That when i usually post...
(though a week later at some times) Last 2 weeks were great. Term 5 has blowm a lot away. The subjects were finally finalized after all that bidding first week of classes and at the end of 2 weeks I have already lost interest in 2 subjects MKSV and BBMK.. Way too slow .. non engaging profs...

Topic and content matter .. Profs matter more ...

The thing that deserves mention is what makes this term different .. Different study groups and
so it requires a hell lot of coorcdination .. I was lucky to have formed groups with few new people ...

Another is competitions .. Its like at every point of time somewhere some comopetition is being
launched and people have suddenly realized we need atleast one on the CV.. And that makes
sense .. Plus it is a welcome change ... though life becomes tiring , some thinking out of the
box , some designing , some formatting .... and all at the cost of pre-reads :-)

The good part for me in term 5 .. No Mid term... and only 2 end terms ... Bad part, lots and lots of assignments and projects ... and high weightage end terms..

We have weathered 4 terms .. 4 more to go ...
Focus is changing .... Gotta foocus !!!
Hopefully :-)

Week 24 - Biggest term break ever !!!

Core terms are over ... Before the grind begins for electives there was a break ... 10 days.. 10 well deserved days .. and I just had fun ..

Slept and Slept and Slept ...

Week 22 and Week 23 !!! Twins ??

Sorry. I know I m combining 2 weeks details into one but then I will try to do justice.

Weel 22 was crazy. We had 5 nightouts (almost) in 7 days and our eyes were actually drooling about bed. We were just done with the mid terms on the weekend and so the background of not sleeping is all set already ( given that you all know i study only on last day, no matter how much i hate myself for that).

On monday after classes I went to SRK's place to do something about the BTC corporate challenge but he was not well so after trying and trying and not getting anything done I left after an hour . Kind off disappointed I was. But then thats ok. He too had slogged hard for midterms and was tired too.

Tuesday was the deadline for DConstruct a competition we were interested in so me , shouvik and deepu puled off the whole night ... making a 6 slide PPT. We actually started for that competition at abt 10 and sat till 6 in the morning.... We made 6 slides of PPT but could not really format them nicely so it was time to fall back on SRK "the great formatter". We called him to wake him up and he surprised me by saying that he dint sleep and has completed work on BTC corp challenge thing. I was smiling ear to ear. What a pleasant surprise it was.

Anyways we submitted Dconstruct on Tuesday (almost another night out) ( got rejected next week). Submitted the BTC thing on wednesday ( will be rejected on national level but we hope to qualify for round 2 of BTC corp challenge)..

Thursday was another competition but we finally dropped it knowing that it was way to open ended and that pure gyaan which will be selected for round 2 cannot be given in a day.

So wednesday we started working on 2 humongous assignments .. SAIT and GSBC and actually finished on sunday .. All plans of preparing for end terms starting next thursday went down the drain ... So did the sleeping plans before starting the end term prep...

This was week 22 for me.

Week 23 started with we submitting the 2 assignments and starting for end terms with continued sleepless nights ...a few more of them and we were done with end terms of term 4.

INVA was breeze , MGTO wowed everyone , GSB stumped everyone and SAIT too was ok ...

Anyways that calls for intermission of the ISB chapter with core terms and electives round the corner..

The weekend was planned to be spent in Bangalore with the gang but then flood in south caused the buses to be cancelled and thoe plans too bit dust ...

Anyways we had fun here...
