A typical day at Col.....

You get up in the morning thinking you just have an extra class, today you will catch up with few of the pending works like - pending assignment or study for a test that is coming up in two days or start the sem project that is due in next two months or implement some new logic of an old assignment or write a program just for fun or my favorite, read a novel.But never did you know none of this is possible.You have your breakfast, go to the first class and boom a new assignment is up in the forum, guess what last time sir wanted us to deal with 10^8 data in less than 5 mins and today he wants to process 10^10 with 1GB RAM.And the day proceeds, some or the other meeting and you do not get to go to the hostel(which is hardly 100 m from col). In the next class, you know you have a test for it coming up but hard to concentrate, sir's frequency is too high and he uses to many technical terms, and so its more difficult to catch up. After the mind - stack overflow session, you have another meeting in next hour, and so you just while away the time relaxing with friends.After all this you finally go to the room, wash your face check your mails(to find next set of meetings or session scheduled) and its dinner time. And you suddenly remembered you had a doubt in an assignment few days back, you contacted you mentor for it, you have to meet up with him after dinner.Actually after getting that error you never had time to look back at the code so had slipped off your mind.By the time you come back from dinner and have cleared your query with the mentor(dont't know when you will implement it), you have done nothing and already you are sleepy or have severe headache.By the time you manage to write a function and sleep, you are looking forward to two-different project meeting with the mentor tomm(to show them the progress) plus 3 tests(along with the one you knew 2 more added for the subsequent days) plus another assignment and you always have a stack overflowing with self study or self relaxing things to do.

PS - this blog was to be written yesterday but slept off had sever headache
