Hi. I'm back again. A post has been due for long, and as I had some time on my hands, I thought I'd might as well pen down some thoughts.
The mid-semester exams ended on friday. I did ok, not terribly depressed by my performance or particularly overjoyed. But one thing that I am proud of is that I didn't crumble under pressure. The major disappointing thing I faced in my academics in college till now was that I would blank out and get really nervous and lose it. This time however, I ceased to care about it. I continued my preparations, not really keeping any expectations and not caring two hoots about it. Over time, I've realized that is the best thing to do. In one exam when I felt my expections and anxiety increase, I just let it go. It was that simple.
My report on the infamous 3rd semester is long overdue, but i'm waiting for the result to come first. I'd like to outline everything keeping that in mind. And considering the result is out in DCE, it going to take just over a month for it to be out in NSIT. :P
Tata Crucible 2009 - ah yes, truly the biggest quiz of the country there is. We slipped at the worst point, going down at the wildcard round. It hurts still, but the intensity decreases over time. I'll be back. Even if i ever give up going for quizzes and quit quizzing, Tata Crucible is one for which i'll work however much that i have to to conquer it.
I acknowledge Abhimanyu Sanghi, my senior, friend and partner for the quiz, for pushing me to work for Crucible, especially at the point when I was considering not even going for it thinking it would be futile. Kudos Sir, you'll definitely be missed in whatever years of quizzing i have left in this college! :-)
Moksha 09 is looming large in front of us. A lot of preparations will have to go for it. I have my doubts on whether it'll be as big as before, but its still our college fest! It'll rock! :-)
More later.
Ciao!
