Hello there again folks..
Sorry for this long delay in writing this post. What happened was I kind of got bored of writing this stuff (Yes! after just 2 posts!!). But now I realize its importance.. (it still is nothing!).
In these months, we had a lot of stuff going on in our college. We had our own tech fest, ENGINEER (man! what a name..) and then the cultural fest INCIDENT (now thats a cult name I say!). So there were a lot of people from outside, seeing what exactly NITK was, one of them being my good friend Kenneth (Don't you dare say you didn't enjoy it!).
And this being my first year, I was curious too, and I must say I came away quite satisfied. After all the fun, the grind of the college started again. But since we were in the physics cycle, we had almost the whole day free, which we conveniently spent sleeping it away!! And soon enough, it was that time again, the end sems!! Man! I was so scared! So scared that I had to break a vow or two. One being that I will not go to the reading room (RR) to study for the exams.
But then, you can't have all the things in life. So I had to go, and boy! did I slog there. I know I shouldn't be particularly proud of this, but come on! It was the first time I ever slogged in 18 years of existence and that was big for me!
The end sems went ok. I was just focussed on getting through these exams and going home! Soon enough, exams were over, books thrown in a corner, and we back to what we did the best, sleeping!
Right now, as I write this post, I sit in Bangalore, in my home, back from my first year in a professional Engineering college, a NITK no less, and I think, "I'm no more a junior dammit!"
And that brings mixed feelings in me. For one, I'm no more the underdog. I know that I can survive in this world. But it also kind of saddens me that I'm no more a school student and all the innocence and curiosity gone!
Boy! It's been one whole year since I joined this college. and it still feels like yesterday! I can still remember how charged up I was when I know that I was going to get a degree in this college.
This whole year has been a dream for me. I've enjoyed it to the hilt! Not a single moment has passed when I thought that I don't want to be here (Except probably for one month when there was no freakin water in our block!!).
Now it's time to sit down and think, what have I achieved in this past year. It's the time to make new strategies, ato rethink previous plans and put them into use. Ya right!! What I've learnt is that there is only so much you can do with prior planning. Instead, have a rough idea and then try your best to stick to that, innovating and changing your plans on the way. That's the best strategy!
We got three months holidays. I'm gonna be really bored. It's also partly the reason I'm writing this! Lets see how we can spice it up! Personality development, Dancing lessons, going out, playing, probably working out!! These are the tentative plans. Watch this area for further developments!!
