Day 12 - 8th July 2010

This had to happen someday or the other - woke up at 845 for a 9 o'clock lecture! Was so tired last night that before going to sleep I kept the alarm for 730 pm instead of am :-/ Was woken up by one of my hostel mates otherwise I would have continued my journey in slumberland. Had a marketing lecture in the morning. Managed to have my breakfast and daily dose of caffeine in the 1.5 hour break that followed the lecture. Had our second session of communication theory today, this time the focus was on gender bias. The more we see of this prof the more we are enamored by him. Anyone who can keep a bunch of 150 guys enthralled for 2 hours must be special. The session focused on gender bias through the ages, the perceptions and misconceptions that we have, for e.g. did you know that women are allowed to drive cars in Iran?

Had another film screening today. We were shown an English movie called Precious, pretty hard hitting stuff. Also got our eco textbooks today, God knows when it will be inaugurated. Can already feel the workload increasing. Have to do some pre reading and assignments before tomorrow's Individual Dynamics class and also some pre reading for the eco class. Some things never change for an engineer, first thing I check is the number of pages in every chapter :-)

P.S. In case you are wondering, I was able to have a shower and attend the lecture on time :-P
