It has been 3 months and 2 weeks without an update (I changed the template if that’s any consolation..) I am now in the penultimate semester of my undergraduate degree course and it is already showing promise of being an eventful semester.
Let me begin with a traditional overture (an interesting look at my new set of lecturers..ahem..professors).
One guy is so unbelievably boring and annoying, at the same time; He is lecturing on a supposedly problematic paper, but he goes on and on and on, slowing down time. Some folks in class fell asleep but he wouldn’t tolerate that either, he walked across to the dormant section of the class and woke them all up! What a nuisance…”Wake up and listen to this new lullaby.”!?!?
Quite in contrast is another chap, fairly youngish. He doesn’t care if students sleep or go yap-yap-yap. The problem is that as the yapping grows louder, so does he. Its that sharp and loud voice he has that irritates and stresses out the inner ear percussion. We haven’t understood what he intends teaching us, so his method is anything but effective.
Computer Integrated Manufacturing is an interesting and well established field of study, the prof comes well prepared for the lecture, but we students are not. There are these long pauses that activate the sleep system and just when the curtain falls, he starts off from where he’d left. Its quite the ordeal sitting in class.
We have an electronics paper also, and this guy is just up our arses the whole time. He talks fast and doesn’t stop till the clock signals close of play. By the time he’s through, we’re out of breath. Phew!
Wimbledon 2007 ended on a happy note with Federer taking the honors as expected (like anyone has a chance). He teased Nadal in that final set when he faced 5 break-points in two successive service games and came out stronger. When Nadal couldn’t make much of it, he took the match beyond Nadal. I liked Soderling’s psychological tricks in his game against Nadal. Nadal was just furious. Nadal pulls his shorts out of his ass-crack after every rally and Soderling deliberately imitated this disgusting act with Nadal watching, now that must hurt. Hehehe.
A large group of monkeys have started to live on the college campus. They are multiplying as well. The college management decided to set up cages to trap them. Surprisingly, these cages have a couple of tomatoes for bait (and the whole time I thought they liked bananas!). The cages were around for a few weeks but now they’re gone (the cages I mean, the monkeys remain). I guess they must have found some staff member trapped in one of the cages trying to steal the tomatoes. I mean, my God!
Have you ever been assaulted by a large monkey while you were just minding your own business? huh? No? Then you probably don’t know how I feel.
