So finally after all that( I request the readers to kindly go through the previous post) I am in!!....(in fact i even dropped a year to make it to this place)...and as I said life took its own turns!(honestly it was out of my control for some time!) .
Day1: Mom n Dad say goodbye(after setting up) and take the first flight to home at dawn. Classes are bound to start the next day. I roamed aimlessly inside the campus trying to socialize if possible. Initially there was a sli feeling of s(h)ome sickness which was treated as soon as i got myself acquitted with my hostelmates(the first one was ofcourse my roomie). I knew only one guy initially who studied with me previously. The rest of the day passed peacefully chatting with new friends and I even spent some time in the common room. All the parents have still not left.
In the night when I saw the time table for the semester the first time I was awed by the sight of it. Initially I could not make head or tail of it, but in a few seconds it was clear( I had to note it down separately)...and then I retired early after a busy day.
Day2: The first class was that of physics then followed by maths and others...in the afty it was free....and so the routine followed....well I think there is no point in commenting on Prof's but certainly you cannot expect the best from everyone. So be it!...food seemed to be quite OK..ish
but mind that's only the fist impression later it deteriorated and now its just something close to 'eatable'.
Well later that night we had something called a 'roll call' (I barely remember) in the hostel common room where all the freshers are supposed to gather to know who our hostel secretaries are and most importantly to know each other and the actual purpose of it was to introduce ourselves to the hostel and get to know our seniors well. Well it turned out to be quite fun until we were called of by some seniors to their rooms for the later session. They get to choose their prey for the next few hours. Well everyone seemed to be interested in only two topics first one being INTRO(meaning you got give your detailed introduction) and the other one is your opinion on the 'u know what' three lettered word(just in case! in here I mean) and other variable forms of it!
Some gave long lectures on 'how to do things on your own' kind of stuff and some others were pathetic. Some were unbearable but you have no option. You got to speak, perform or in fact do anything at your own levels of comfort!.sometimes it's painful and at other times it's fun(when you see it happening to others :-) .
A few days passed by and by the time we finally get to know each other properly the famous
Murphy's law comes into action -"every thing goes wrong suddenly".....our first midsems are approaching! I've got this sick habit of getting nervous and panicking in the last minute has been
my style of approaching any exam! I don't like to emphasise details regarding exams or grades much here( although they are quite reasonable and OK..ishh :-D).
