Things that can make your day worse

• waking up late
• getting to know that the class was cancelled after going to the classroom (got the text 10 min late)
• attending the most boring lecture
• having a surprise test (which I screwed up seeing I have learnt about moment of inertia in 11^th grade; I gave a blank paper. That’s a first!)
• doing two experiments in the HT lab (one of which takes the longest time of all)
• having pasta for snacks with a lemony taste
• having to wait an hour for a work which would take 60 sec
• having some, not so tastefully done sweet corn masala
• waiting in more. for billing
• having lays n pepsi for dinner

and the list goes on….

3 days or 3 weeks?

Adapting to the new test curriculum hasn’t been easy. It has an air just as the compres’ which technically shouldn’t be for a test 1. On the whole there isn’t anything too stressful with 3 day xams but then why is there so much resistance? Come to think of it, the reason I prefer the older version is ‘cos I am used to it. Human beings do have a tendency to resist change. Atleast ppl like me.

It takes a lot of effort to accept something new. Maybe due to the fact that it requires you to come out of your comfort zone or just the fear of the unknown. Either way I cannot right away tell if it was helpful. I would have to wait till the results come to judge which test system was better.

Though it helps in a way to give us more time to pursue our projects; the BITS tag of constant exams is missing (we still have the every tut-test pattern going on).  I may just have to accept the fact that BITS is undergoing a very major change; things aren’t the same as in the first 3 years; courses, tests so on and I can’t expect them to remain same.
