Exam Time

Its a beautiful morning. The weather is just tailor made for those who love to procrastinate. I am up since 6 in the morning. The weather outside seemed so endearing. I went for a ride on my bike and let the breeze blow my hair. Did random junk. Messaged people to find out what internals I have tomorrow. I decide to study. Open my book. Then decide against studying. Its not worth spending such a lovely day in front of GSM text book and here I am enjoying a beautiful Sunday. Listening to the birds chirp. Looking at the squirrels run around our front yard. Listen to mom yelling at me, for wasting time since morning. An experience so divine and blissful. And not studying for tomorrow's internals makes this experience all the more likable. 4 years in engineering and I m yet to learn how to write an internal without copying. The weather never helps. I am happy that I am able to enjoy other things much better when I need to study. I love exam time. :)

Blore Weather

Its a one of those days, when the weather is just perfect to do the following activities:

1. To sleep with a warm blanket on.

2. To drink hot chocolate in bed.

3. Remain Passive throughout the day.

When ever the weather conducive for me to go into my hibernation mode, it so happens that i WILL have heaps of work to do which need immediate attention. I need to clean my room before my mom returns home from work and blows her lid looking at the mess in my room ( I really dont get the point with mom being so touchy about the mess in my room. I m not forcing her to come in my room anyway and i like my room the way it is. Its got that personal touch at least). I need to go pay up some check in a bank that is 9KM away from my place (Dad was too bored to drive in the traffic to go to that bank, and I get stuck doing all the jobs that he is bored to do). I have to do my GSM assignment so that i get that 5 extra marks in GSM. I thought at least during my last semester I wont be writing internals for the third time. Shame.

Talking about the final few days of college, i cant believe its over. It is difficult to accept the fact that i wont be late to class anymore. I wont have any more internals, assignments, or put up with creepy jokes of appa sir! . 4 years. A brilliant experience! That sums it all. :)

Statement of Purpose

Holidays have begun(well almost, i still got one more exam on the 19th and its still a long way to go) and i m already experiencing the i don't like holidays symptom :P some how i seem to have so much work to do(apart from studying that is) when exams are going on, n they just cease once holidays began. I had to work on my Statement of Purpose before my exams, and that was an adventure by itself. I was not entirely sure what to write( for all those who are wondering what i m talking about, Statement of Purpose is some kinda document the Universities in US ask while filling up application forms) because its an important document which could decide whether they want to take me in or not. Its supposed to show seriousness, focus etc etc along with my achievements and how i have progressed in my studies and so on( its more like it talks to them on my behalf telling them who i am) and i really was not sure how to do it. For one if i had to be honest, i had nothing at all to brag about. I was just among st the thousands who pursue engineering in India and getting a seat at Ramaiah was nothing great either. My undergrad marks have been average. I haven't achieved anything substantial and yet i gotta show them i m cut above the rest so that they take me in. I really wanted to tell them that my purpose was to be serious from now on and study further and i have nothing at all to brag about. For the first time in my life i had difficulty in writing. Probably cos for the first time in my life i was writing about what i have done in my life till now( i never thought it was worthwhile thinking about my past, cos i cant change it anyway) and i freaking had to portray to them something i m not. My first versions of SOP were bad!! I got some of the worst criticisms ever for my writing.The deadlines were fast approaching, i had my exams going on and i was in a terrible mess. Finally i decided to write a story (My SOP made me look really good).  Felt that honesty is not exactly the best policy to be followed ( could not write the purpose I had on my mind) and finally i was done with it. Got a pretty good review for my latest one. All i have to do is fill up application forms and its terribly boring. In retrospect writing an sop was actually entertaining.
