Exam woes..


University exams universally suck , .. more so if one of your parents has had an operation less than a month and a half away from one of these exams and you end up missing a whole damn imporatant subject and the major half of another. Its still not the worst case scenario though.. one can always cram in everything between odd hospital shifts.. thats unless, of course, you havnt slept for more than 4 to 5 hrs for more than who-knows-how-many-days and also not slept at the same time two consecutive days.. having to commute between two cities every second day , and , on top of that you've just realized you're not going to marry the girl you thought you would for the major part of your life and you're left an absolutely shattered person.. not knowing how to react to everything.. your studies take a bloody beating.

Then , just as you think you're FINALLY finding some time to study , you get called up by your institute and you end up filling lengthy exam forms with weird questions ( chances of you taking a transfer next sem? .. or .. assignments/papers you think you're not clearing this sem n reasons..) which takes up a hell of a time , used otherwise working TOWARDS clearing those papers instead of using all of your intellect guessing how many you would.

i also do not know of any other institution/college, which takes a medical exam of students ( AND faculties to add to the presposterousness ..if there's such a word) prior to each university exam.. i mean whats the whole bloody point of all this? if you're telling me somebody with jaundice cannot take the exams and has to wait for the next sem to clear the papers.. you've gotta be absolutely mad. whats the 5 starred quarantine ward meant for? and whats the fault of the poor guy with jaundice anyways?... eating roadside samosas and drinking the almost greenish blue water on a cold n wet monsoon day??? ..its no crime surely .. you dont expect one more person to die of hunger n thirst in this country of more than a billion people, do you?

Whats also so depressing n sucks ( no.. not the lady v.chancellor ..ha! ) about the medicals is that the students have to mention ANY medication he or she is on (in another form ..yeah.. you guessed it right) and they have to mention even the medications nobody cares about (ala.. ze cough n ze cold ones) .. BUT , the center head's on three medications BUT MENTIONS ONLY TWO OUT THE THREE .. the third is never disclosed. Now, i'm no doctor , but what pill could a man who's in his sixties and has a wife who's comfortably 20 yrs his junior, be taking which he cannot tell the world ..hmm? ( forgetting the pun for a moment.. a question which needs to be raised, believe me)

Getting back.. so the exams are less than 20 days away and i'm approximately 20% of where i should be.. which means a lot of late nights still, and no sleep and no computers unfortunately.. which in turn means no blogging for some days , and also the use of a little imagination in understanding concepts i havnt heard before (classes missed). its alright though. what can be worse than whats already happened this past one month.

time to wind up for today.. any further misadventures regarding the exams would be duly posted (the admit cards havnt been issued yet.. so there's a potential storm already brewing ) . and people, this IS the new thread.. so plz no more of the stupid 'is this really you' shit , .. lets keep the place clean. and as far this blog is concerned.. post exams.. will carry on from where the last site's post left off. just a matter of a few weeks..
