3rd - 6th Sep: Pretty much the Same Story

Haaah... No use making separate posts for each exams when the content is more or less the same.. So.. a common post for all the exams thereafter.. Finally done with all the exams.. Glad to be going back home (actually writing this post from the comforts of my sweet home.. :) ). "How were the exams?".. Not Important.. :-P
The more important thing is the plan which some of us have chalked out for the next term to avoid a similar fate in the next exams.. Sounds simple and very familiar.. I've been making such plans for the past 8 semesters of my engineering.. But have somehow faltered in the execution part.. :-P
So, the steps to be followed:

• Sit on the first or the second row, and be extremely attentive in all the classes. Dozing off in the class is a strict NO.
• Don't just sit and listen, take comprehensive notes during the lectures. Don't overestimate your retention capacity.
• Spend a "little" time "everyday" to read the things taught in class. (sounds familiar.. :-P)
• When you realize that the above step is going to take up only "little" time, you can spend the remaining time on completing homework, doing project work right from the beginning, working on some meaningful competitions et al.

Plans made.. Hoping to execute at least some of them.. Hoping to have a great 2nd term... 

But now more importantly, hoping to have a great time at HOME... :-)

Next post... From Room 425.. Till then.. Tata.. 

2nd Sep: FIRed away!! :)

This was one subject I'd enjoyed studying during the first term.. I enjoyed and learnt many new things while working on our "grrr"oup project.. Also, having a close proximity to Laal Salaam, helped.. :-P
But studying for the course and studying for an end-term, and that too after giving such disastrous papers the earlier days, is a different ball game all together. So, managed to study some things from here and there.. And..

Exam 3: FIR
One thing.. I enjoyed solving the paper.. And when this happens, marks don't matter.. So, I don't care whether I did well or poorly.. That'll be evident once I get the grades.. :P
After the paper, all I felt was ,"3 down, 4 more to go.." Come on!!

1st Sep: First Blow!!

Hadn't slept the night before thanks to the numerous reports I had to write. And couldn't dare to sleep on the 31st night again, as had to study for the end terms. To make matters worse, the college had kept 2 exams on the 1st day. How can people be so sadist!

Paper 1: Managerial Economics

One word to describe it.. DISASTER!! Prof. Lovely probably thought he's setting a paper for the PHD students of Economics. And the worst part is, he had declared 3 days before the exam that he has set a very EASY paper.. Shouldn't have done that.. We at least could have expected before hand what was going to happen for sure..

Thanks to the efforts I put in Eco for the whole night, which eventually turned out to be futile, I just had 5 hours to study for this.. Worked really hard to keep the sleep away.. Finally the exam..

Paper 2: Organizational Behaviour -1

Don't know what to make of it.. Was weird.. The last time I 'wrote' so much was during my 12th standard exam.. But it was relatively better as compared to Eco. The benchmark that Eco has set is so low, that I guess almost all the papers after that would seem better than that.. :P

Had a looong break after the exams.. Started studying the next subject at 11 pm.. Studied till 3 30.. Slept all exhausted...

Man!! Wish I could just fast forward the date to 6th of sep..

27th-30th Sep: Days gone by in a jiffy..

Wooahh!! Long time no see.. But, doesn't feel like long time though.. Days just zapped by.. :)

Well, I was too lazy to do so many backdated entries. So decided to club these days.

These days seemed more or less the same. Running against the time to catch up with the schedule, wishing for some more time in a day, praying for an extension of a deadline (which was obviously never answered.. I guess, after getting me into XLRI, god has stopped answering my prayers :P)

The things which were lined up after our presentation on the 27th.

• 28th: MCN submissions: some cover letters and biodata crap
• 29th: Economics Assignment (had no clue what to write here)
• 30th: Labour Laws Midterm (which was announced on 28th)
• 31st: OB Group Project Report Submission (preponed from 1st to 31st)
• 31st: OB Personal Learning Paper Submission (preponed from 1st to 31st)
• 1st: End terms begin, 2 papers on that same day: Eco and OB
• 2nd: MCN group project report submission.

And needless to say, the end terms go on, non stop till 6th Sep.

An important point to note here. I'm making this blog entry post at 1 am on the 2nd September. Which means, I survived through all these days.. Woohooo!! An achievement!! :D
