..you're gonna want this back...yes, I am quoting that song from Trace Adkins...because that's what I am feeling right now.
Well, to say the truth, this is NOT my time for blogging, I have a statistics final tomorrow. Though I have revised the syllabus completely by now, I am never 100% confident that I can do all the sums and deductions perfectly tomorrow...so I need to study. But, there is something that I wanted to write down immediately, the feelings I am having right now are transitory so I'll not be able to write about this later.
Cramming up stuff just before the exams is what students all over the world learn (I am obviously not talking about the nerds) and when they can do that well, they feel proud. In my undergrad days, the only time I studied was during the preperatory leave. If I had 5 papers, I started studying 10 days before the exam. 2 days for each paper...well that was enough!!!
In grad school my days are NOT that easy, and even I have to study :-(
Assignments and projects keep me busy all through the semester...just before the exams I just hate studying...but the fun part is that, EVERYONE does!!!
Yesterday, my friend Atul and I were so bored that we planned to study together, he's in Civil Engineering and the paper he was writing, I had no clue to it whatsoever. Neither did he know a single line about software engineering, but still we studied together :-) My roomie, a med student and I exchange views on our papers and stuff and it feels good to study when she's around that to study alone!!! Last weekend, we 8 girls took a coffee study break and hung out...we need a break we said, but actually what we should ahve said was, "We need to study, we had enough breaks"...!!! Grad-school is hectic, but I dont know somehow we manage to have time for everything! I dont remember doing so many things when I was back home!!!
I complain about studies, that's true...I figured out I have been studying and taking exams for the last 20 years...eeeeeeeks...the thought itself is bad!! but....20 years from now, I'll look back to these days and sigh...I know I will...I'll remember a girl carrying a bright orange backpack, her friend sitting in the library with a laptop, and they talking about some stuff completely unrelated to studies...and fully enjoying the winter afternoon!!! I'll miss these days...for sure!!!
now I need to go back to testing of hypotheses (eeeek what an anti-climax!!!)
