the day that was...

today was a very eventful day....started off with the biochem quiz..2 easy ones(of which i couldnt get one :( ) and then one shitty question that needed us to remember fundaes from our last sem courses....now isnt that a little too much to expect from us who scarcely remember what was taught in yesterday's class? to add to the pain, the prof says no to formula sheets that some junta had dutifully prepared and brought to the quiz while he dint care a damn for what was happening in the other class where the second half of the class wrote the quiz..they very happily used the formuale sheet but still, no one managed to get the last sum in their class..shows how painful the prof can be to think of a sum that requires you to remember some crap you did over 3 months ago!! and then, to add insult to injury, he asks the class rep to make a list of those present yesterday and decides to grade only their assignment sheets...man, i am s*it pained...

now, the funny part...we got microB class in E slot and one guy asks me to put proxy while another says yet another has said he will put proxy for this another..i go to class to see this message from another saying he is not gonna come and so i put proxy for him...soon enough, the yet another also messages me asking me to put proxy...hmm, i count..3 proxies plus myself..is this gonna be possible..lets see..attendance starts..i put for another, who is the first no and then myself..now the turn to put for the original one..as i shout yes, another voice from another side of the class echoes my voice..the prof seems to have not noticed this thankfully though there were some moments of silence..and a few score numbers later comes the turn of the yet another..i put it without much ado..the attendance gets over..the prof has a look at the book and then, gleefully announces that the whole class is present today!! she was so elated that it seemed like those teeth were almost popping out!! the whole class bursts into a tiny laughter and most heads turn to me, making me feel as if i was the one responsible for the joy..i guess i was after all :)

it made for some fun after a boring quiz in the morning and more pain from a pain-max prof...the lab in the afty turned out to be longer than usual but was enjoyable as usual...and the fact that there wasnt a quiz on thursday made the evening free for me..all in all, a god day i must say...

its been a long(read long and i mean, really long) time since i last blogged..and it is showing up on my conscience(yes, i mean it..)..with so many people all round having started to blog and also, those who always blog asking me if i do plan to blog after all, it is pretty shameful if i dont grab this oppurtunity and prove a point or two to my critics.. i declare this to be the beginning of a new era in the history of the fart lair which shall ever remain etched in the annals of history(now dont ask me what this history written with..might be even pens filled with water).

as i write this, it feels like what one feels when school reopens after a long summer vacation..you are eager to get back to school, meet all your friends and ..wait, dont start imagining things on your own..i dint say eager to start studying..and that gives me a good topic to write about i guess..my acads..they have been going downlhill like water that rushes down the slopes of a mountain..the interesting fact is that atleast the river reaches a plain and stays level after that..but what about my acads? the slide started last sem and its been that way ever since..going down and down and down..is there a plain in sight? i hope that its above the 8 mark..seriously, i have never had such a bad time in my life..even the time of my accident was not so worse. i still cant understand whats happening to me..i know that i am not studying as much as i used to but then i just dont feel studying..its become such a boring thing to do..sitting in front of my comp in the comfort of my own room(unlike last sem when it was the comp room which eventually was agreed upon by everyone to be my second(or maybe even first) home) and just listening to songs and madly follow one link to another is so much more interesting..and playing around with different things on my ubuntu offers me endless hours of fun..whereas to sit in a single place and read even 2 pages of a book is so much more painful. i will accept that the comp has to have a fair share of blame in this scheme of things but i am sure that its not just the only thing thats responsible..it is my mindset that needs a sea change..that is just not happening :(

i guess i will leave this topic for now..if i keep talking, i will only be wasting more time..i will try to get back to my highly incomplete biochem notes and see what fundaes i can gather out of it for the C slot quiz on wednesday..
