Come Theme 5 and suddenly I feel very jobless
Second year at my MBA college was an absolute mess. We had continuous classes every day of the week even on Sundays and there were even days when I had sessions starting from 9 in the morning to 9 in the night. Phew! I had never kept myself this busy in life. To top it all the ‘generous’ faculty in here used to shower us with loads of assignments and surprise quizzes without giving any consideration to the fact that the course has been advanced by one week and the students are not even getting a Sunday. In fact the life here was no better than that of the Nazi concentration camps. Maybe its an exaggeration but all I wanted to say was that life was too hectic and it literally drove me crazy. I didn’t even realize how fast days and nights passed by. Everything happened in a jiffy.
Then the much awaited breather- the ‘NGO project’ came up. It’s more like an academic term given for a two week unwinding and de-stressing session that you have at home. Or lets say the two weeks was a mixture of fun and work. The ratio of the two is subjective and its a contentious issue. So lets leave it at that.:-)
The two weeks of ‘holidays’ went very slowly for the first time in my life, courtesy the fast paced-mad theme 4 that we had just before that. Usually they say vacations gets over very quickly no matter how long they are. But this time that was not the case. I had a lot of time at hand at home to relax and it did good because I was still reeling from the killing schedule we had at college.
Enter theme 5 and here I am sitting all jobless and spending lions share of the time inside the hostel or outside the campus and hardly any time inside the classroom or in the library. The sudden change was kind of hard to digest and did not feel real for the first two days. Then I realized probably it was the crust position that we were in and the trough would soon arrive. And before you even realize, the honeymoon would have gotten over.
But for now, like me, majority of my classmates are having fun, checking out all the latest movies that are getting released and all the happening parties in Manipal. I already have the plans for the weekend laid down. The play-’The confessions of a dirty blonde’ is what I am most excited about. Its the first time that I am going to watch a comedy play. Hope its worth the time and money. Will update you guys about that in some time. Till then I am going to chill out and enjoy the fresh air and the Manipalness!
