The Longest Night...

Continues from the previous post.

I didn't actually come back that night. There were 2 assignments put up that very night, at 1AM in the morning! Had to miss the match. Shacked up in a friends room and was up till 5.10AM finishing the 2 damn things. 5.10 because at 5.15AM we have to report for 'Physical Exercise' sessions. That is followed by an hour of 'Self Awareness & Discovery' (long for SAD, and very aptly so!), and then uptil 8.30AM we have Yoga! Classes start at 9, but won't until day after tomorrow. And just to keep us busy, we have a continuos inexhaustable flow of assignments every day! And they range from serious case presentations to daily write-ups on what we did at Yoga today!
I say, ridiculous man! I can see anvay and nishant laughing their butts off when they find out about this.
It's just that I expected something else. From all the talk and hoopla, I just thought that the first few days would be full of fun, late night welcome parties, games of badminton, chilling with some music at 2AM in the morning. But it is nowhere near that. I guess I had just lost the groove to study after being away from it for 2 years. And this isn't just some study program, its the mother of all study programs.
It tirns our that the first 2 semesters are always the toughest. Adjusting is one, the course load is anyway quite high. So, can't complain.
We had a formal inauguration ceremony today. The faculty was introduced, and later we were addressed by Mr. Harsh Vardhan, Director with Boston Consultancy Group! Gosh, just blew me away! BCG was always like a halcion dream, unrealised, and to meet a director with them was way too cool!
So, guess i'll get back to the dreary routine. Gotta check the notice board for some more dreadful assignments. Later...
