Days 75 to 89 - 11th to 25th September

Was on a break from updating this blog was forced for the first 10 days and voluntary for the next 5 days. We had our summer placement week from the second week of September and as a policy we weren't allowed to disclose details of any of the companies that visited campus. Thats why I couldn't post anything on the blog. Apu,Geeko,Fruit Loops and CR all got placed in firms of their choice and I am really happy for them. The only company I sat for was the one which had a sports marketing vertical but they did not have any openings in that department. I chose not to sit for any other company, will try off campus as well. The week was followed by term end examinations. Now in engineering i was used to a 3 week study leave for 5 subjects with at least a day's gap between two papers. Now imagine my plight when I have 8 subjects to study in 4 days - two papers per day! And that too some of the subjects were being studies for the first time. The paper that was really bad for me was FA, my engineering graphics paper (which I did not clear on the first attempt) seemed better than FA, so you can imagine how bad it must have been. Anyways can't do much about it now. But the highlight of the exams was the last paper - PoM, a 1 hour 50 questions MCQ paper which was completed in 2o minutes flat :D And most of the batch was out within 40 minutes. Left for Bombay on the same night, the reservation chart of the coach we were in looked like the roll call for our batch, at least 30 people were on the same train. Feels good to be back home, have been averaging 3-4 hours of sleep for the past week, so the agenda for the next week is pretty clear. ;-)

It's been a pretty eventful first term at MICA, met a lot of interesting people and looking forward to the next 5 terms. Apparently the second term is one of the best terms wrt extra curricular activities, looking forward to it. Will start posting again once I am back on campus on the 4th of October. Until then, Adios!
