20 hours to go

When one has mug every day, even if it be for only 2-3 hours in the evening, the manner in which time flies is astounding. Two and a half months ago, I came to WIMWI, full of apprehension and expectations. Tomorrow the first term officially ends and I will go home for 6 days. 6 days do not seem much, but in this context, where we have not got even 2-3 days of continuous free-time, they are quite a lot.

Today was a hectic day, though very enjoyable. At 9 in the morning, the 'Intro to Computers' paper began. Lasting for 2 hours, it was a fairly easy paper. Then Maths lasted for 3 1/2 hours from 2 to 5:30. It was interesting, especially the problem about "Rawbert, Tony, Michael and Mona"! I was pleased that I did not mess up either of the two subjects, though maths was by far the most difficult subject of the term for me.

Then a bunch of us went to Mocha, and spent an hour and a half there. After coming back, I was a bit involved (mostly just gazing and chatting unhelpfully) in creating a presentation for the birthday invitation of Jolly, the birthday manager of my dorm. Chhedi did a brilliant job with the invitation, save our inability to embed the mournful "Dil ke armaan asuooh mein behe gaye" into some appropriate slides. Then the elimination round for Livestock - the stock trading game for this year's Confluence - was held from 9 to 9:30. Since 2 of our team of 6 (Moti and Thoku) are sick and out of Ahmedabad, we were woefully short of manpower and brainpower. We tried our best, but didn't expect to qualify. As it turned out though, due to some server problems, many teams were unable to submit their answers. Hence, a retest will be held in the next week or two. We have another chance.

At midnight, Jolly's birthday was celebrated with great enthu on the part of both his sectionmates and us dormies.

So, no mugging done (and none is required, as Individual Dynamics is open-book and WAC has no readings) and I'm ready to sleep for the last time in term 1.
