When I have had free time, I&#8217;ve slept it away. I&#8217;m awake now, and able to afford the money, if not necesarily the time to drop in at the cybercafe. So here goes.<\/p>\n<p>Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh.<\/p>\n<p>This sem, the decent instructors are taking the piddu, 3.5 credit courses. In the more important (where grades are concerned) courses, I&#8217;m stuck with instructors who infuse the subject with all the life of a zebra carcass on the Serengeti that&#8217;s been picked clean by the vultures several times over.<\/p>\n<p>On a separate note, I wish that being shiny and happy could also make me come up with colourful analogies.<\/p>\n<p>Right. Back to final year.<\/p>\n<p>Every now and then, a state of ennui hits me. It&#8217;s similar to the frustrated feeling you get four months into the sem, when almost the whole course is done, and you&#8217;re just hanging around for the quizzes and the endsems, and you wish that the three weeks that&#8217;re left would just get over with quickly so you can go home and do important stuff like meeting long lost friends.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the ennui I&#8217;ve got right now is pretty much the same. It&#8217;s the feeling that I&#8217;ve finished three years of the course, and would the final year please pass by quickly so I can get a job or an M. Tech or an MBA or whatever. Please?<\/p>\n<p>Sigh. 200 working days in final year, more or less. Let&#8217;s just take them one at a time. And yes, some of the courses are interesting- Theory of Computation, Microprocessors, Economics. So I can make a go of it. Yeah. I can. Let&#8217;s go out with a bang.<\/p>\n<p>OK, so there&#8217;s one aspect of final year which has been cool and froody right since it began, and that&#8217;s my new hostel.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m on the first floor of the PG hostel. It&#8217;s my fourth hostel in four years, and this one is definitely nice. It&#8217;s the newest hostel, all the electrical fixtures and plumbing work, and the mess is superior. Yes, indeed.<\/p>\n<p>Not really much more to say. But at least I&#8217;m finally writing again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, final year started two weeks ago, but I haven&#8217;t had any free time until now to write about it.
