Mid sem blues

hello ppl ...

the exams always bring out the best in people ... and i don't mean just academically .... just saw some of the funniest ads on LAN and that did help release some of the pent-up stress ...

today i had an exam i didn't know much about ....just one more in the seemingly endless list .... well needless to say the frustness levels in my system are now at such a level that every pore in my body is crying out foul ...

first came ANT ( well for the not-so-enlightened that stands for Advanced Numerical Techniques ) how deceptive names can turn out to be !!!! well the teacher is enigmatic to say the least giving us no clue whatsoever what kind of questions he can set ... can u beat this - he did not make us solve a single problem in the class room and this is supposed to be a course on numerical analysis .... but when it came to the exam he gave us a paper that one would have found hard pressed to complete if given 4 hrs time instead of just 2 ....

then the pawan kumar story began ... he is a renowned professor for his style of teaching and his style of giving grades .... but someone forgot to mention the fact that he sets papers that would have put FIITJEE maths paper seem like kindergarten stuff .... of course he gives grades peacefully but giving such a paper can do one's confidence no good .... and the icing on the cake is that he takes 2 of my 5 courses .... well i need all the luck i can get ....

that's enough of me for the moment ... gotta have some sympathy for u poor souls reading my blog and being bored to death ....

ciao
