final exam for the first term !!!

Gosh..its 5:40 am.. had two exams yesterday....left almost half the course but didnt dare to skip my sleep that time round and here i am waking up all night for the last term paper.... but then this is QAM with all its linear programming.. so wierd that by the time i finish the question I forget what i wanted to do..
even before the term i knew I had to focus on this subject having done really pathetically compared to my batchmates.... so as a penance while my friends are sleeping all over campus I am slogging it out and calling up my groggy batchmates to solve some pertinent doubts..cant blame them when they scream that they are sleeping!!!!!!
anyway paper ends at 12 and then for atleast 8 days I wont have to bother about the curriculum..dont know if people will be looking forward to coming back for another gruelling schedule next term.. I for sure wont be but the such is life..one compromises the most for things one hates the most..

food poisoning

last two days were holidays and that was not a good enough reason to enjoy. almost 100 ppl were down with food poisoning. there was some food in the mess which resulted in such a disastrous situation. however kudos to the student council and the students of IIM L who volunteered and got the situation under control.. great effort that needs to be applauded. Now that classes have started again, it remains to be seen when the sick guys will be able to recuperate fully. The quizzes and exams have been postponed so as to facilitate their speedy recovery. hope there is fair play..

IIML Odyssey

Long time no see!! this is what blogger told me when i logged in today.. and gosh its almost two months since i came here... this is what the IIM L system does to u.. lose out on the few merries that life gives...
lots of exams, quizzes and presentations later i feel exhausted. the remunerations that I get in the form of marks is in little concurrance with the hard effort put in. competition is tough and people say that when it comes to the grades even a 0.25 difference will matter. well as of now i am getting marks in the average to below average range and with just 10 days to go for the end term exam, there is little to be done that can suddenly stanch the free flow of marks.
all that can be done is keep the belief that things will work out..
atleast the big picture shud be kept in mind..
signing off on an optimistic note
