This is my second day in IIML. I had prepared for Cat for well over 4-5 months and then wrecked my head during the interview periods and now that i am finally at L i feel no particular emotion. infact i have this gnawing feeling that maybe i havent thot this over particularly well. i had quite a settled life in bangalore and things were not going all that bad. true that i had lost interest in the job but that could have been solved by switching jobs. anyway my policy of no regrets still holds. it seems that a lot of slogging is in store.
the campus is beautiful. its big ( no swimming pool) and all the sports facilities are there. my hostel is thankfully the best hostel in the campus. some hostel rooms in other hostels are really bad. it surely feels much better to be in the hostel room. however the action is all outside. the table tennis room, the pool room are all close by.
The guys here ( havent interacted with gals yet) seem ok and well grounded. However this is the period when ppl try to impress each other showing their best side. The worst thing abt coming to a new place is having to make new frnds. Its difficult to start from zero all the time even though i love getting to know new ppl and going places.
The mess is the best place according to me. Lunch and dinner are palatable and with the snacks provided in the evenings it seems a pretty neat arrangement. Havent checked out the canteen as yet but since it opens all nite I dont think it will be long before i try that out too.
The seniors here do talk abt sincerity in acads. Now that comes naturally to me but then in management so many other things also come into the equation. I would like to join either placecom or Manfest. Ppl say that even though joining the committee is worth the trouble it takes a heavy toll on academics. Now if academics are bad then things wont look rosy to me. Rite now it seems that i will have an enviable task of doing well in acads as well as doing justice to the committee i join. lets see what the future has in store.
