year two

YEEAAAAHH,thats right.
In two more days,we are officially done with the first year and we'll be seniors when we're back in this place.
And.. i hear the 3rd sem is one 3month-long siesta. I found the time to write this cuz M.B.Srinivas ,our enigmantic E.C.prof literally cancelled the lab exam cuz all we gotta do is write the apparatus ,procedure and alla that without so much as touching a wire. Thank you sir.I so entirely forgive you for the f**ked up manner in which this course went down.
Looking back ,This sem was one fiasco followed by another. It started off with a bang with Jawahar and the new kid on the block Anoop teaching DSA and it looked quite promising.Then came the winter vacations that entirely screwed up my antenna,veering it back to the laze around all day mode. Back and we had the assgn 1 .Jawahar freaked everybody out by the whole confession thing.Lets get real guys, anyone who was'nt a taker was a giver.
Before we knew it, the midsems were the next day . Do not get me started on them. Sure ,felicity went down quite well, but right before we could lick our wounds ,the next Midsems were right up our noses.
And the one that topped it all ,the CO fiasco.Thats one for the papers God forbid.Makes you think,how could the CO tutors be so naive? I mean No totals ?? What were they thinking??? Or ,were they thinking???N.B.Everybody who could copy did. And those who did not,yours truly included kicked themselves later for not.That was until Pasha's outraged mail(Prashant Gopal,to the uninitiated).But ,when all the pieces have finally fallen in place,I think an F is downright horrible.
To those of you who donot know what F means: it means you have got to repeat the course and pass, and yet the F stays right there. I believe that repeating the whole course is bad enough,especially because I believe only a fourth of the grand total were caught. The endsems were quite uneventful.
All in all ,this was one f***ed up Sem.I hope the Juniors dont have it this bad.
