The Days Of Our Lives

The past...the present...the future!

Strange but True

 
I have an exam today afternoon. Strange how my approach to exams has changed over the years!

In school, for my board exams I used to slog for days to no end. Then I came to IIT!

The first year had me all jittery for stupid 5% quizzes. Slowly and gradually, I grew up. For my (yet to happen) today's end-semester examination, I had been given 5 days preparatory leave. Thats quite a lot considering IIT exam standards. First 3 days I did nothing! Tuesday, when I wanted to start studying, a simple "I'm bored" on chat resulted in spending 4 hours at a nearby mall trying to see if a new bookstore had opened. That suffices to say that I didn't do a single minute of studying that day.

Finally opened my books on Wednesday afternoon, after leisurely getting up at noon. Haven't slept entire night; haven't been studying the entire time either. Its about 6 am right now and fortunately my course will get over in about an hour, giving me a couple of hours of sleep before I rush to the exam hall. But the thing is, I have no regret, no guilt for wasting my earlier 4 days and slogging at last moment after a night-out. It has its own thrill; its own charm. And, in fact, I just love it.
