Tests Tuts Etc

That can sum up what I have been busy with for the past month or so. Despite having quite a bit to write about, I couldn’t even manage a single post. Though there are people on campus who keep churning out excellent posts despite all this, it is quite an uphill task for me. I feel like writing only when I am relaxed and don’t have to worry about a tutorial or midsem slated for the following day. And believe me, such days have been quite rare. Thanks to the continuous evaluation system we have here at BITS. It ensures that not a single day (well, Almost!) passes without an evaluative component. Most of us here, have overcome the fear that is generally associated with exams. It seems that the underlying purpose of our system is to ensure our leisure time is maintained at the bare minimum!

While typing this post, I was surprised to find out that the word blog is not recognized by Word 03. It’s quite difficult to digest this, given the millions of bloggers around the world today. The blogging fever has even caught on in our campus and now I don’t have to venture outside the college blogroll to read interesting posts. The number on campus has swollen from just about 50-60 about a year back when I started to about 200 (estimates). These days, I have regularly been reading quite a few blogs daily and they never fail to amuse me. Every blog is unique and provides a different perspective on an issue. Even reading posts on the same topic on different blogs doesn’t get monotonous. It is great way to vent out your feelings, views, beliefs, anger and whatever else you can think of. Keep blogging!

You get a comment from another victim of continuous evaluation system.
I too feel like writing only when I don't have any serious thought or queue of jobs piled up in my mind..but still we form a node each of the blogosphere! That's a reason to cheer ...

@ Swapnil: Seriously man, the system sometimes drives me totally insane. Everyday we wake up to give another test or a tut. We desperately need a break.

Be thankful you are A2! Had you been in A3/A8 you'd probably want to run away!And this by the way is just the beginning :D

And yes I do agree a lot of Bitsian blogs make for an interesting read these days.

@ Hema

I definitely am thankful to be A2. Yeah, I have heard that A3/A8 CDCs screw people big time. The reason why i'm feeling the heat this sem is that this is the first time when i have actually been studying regularly :)

@ Sushant: Fine. I'll post a comment on your blog!! Don't be so desperate :)

I totally agree, reading blogs has become an addiction for me too.
