February is the Busiest Month!!!*

*apologies for such a bland and un-imaginative(?!) title

why is feb the busiest time of the year?? Ananya gets over n we have the ghost of projects/assignments/comapny visits et al on our heads. Accompanied by Youth Activism Day, V-Day,how much ever i try not to hate the day, i jus keep failing miserably( this time i'd gone 4 d antakshari comptn at UNIFY in which we lost :X), Japanese delegation (why, oh why?) and MCQs and a host of other menaces.Youth activism day n V-day~ordeal was over in relative quick succesion. Japanese delegation(Students from The Obirin University,Japan) arrives on Monday, we are informed on Friday or so and i'm clueless as to how we are gonna "interact" with them. Profs in charge do not know whether the students understand english or not or whther they are undergrads like us.The profs tell us its an "informal" session which we are gonna fill up wid ppt presentations about India and its great diverse culture,religion blah blah. They do not want any of the topics (or pictures mainly) assigned to overlap but the topics given are culture of India, Religions of india, Monuments in India, Traditions in india and god-knows-wht-not in inida. Only pics 2 b ther in the ppt, n no pointer texts. But then we have to show all that we are gonna "read out or say" during the ppt! The 1st day we have sum female frm sum NGO come n giv us a ppt abt "women's issues and concerns in india"-womens movement and stuff, the stats quoted in which would make u question ur own logical statistical aptitude n the general sanity of the presenter and you would be left with the question "why are we telling our woes to those Japs? why dont we let them sleep in peace?" (quite a few of them were just here to sleep). Two whole days of "interaction" which included about 10 presenations frm our side n some lines exchanged that bore some semblance to personal interaction. The second day was much better than the first, we had figured out names of atleast 5 japanese students by then. It was a nice n different experience, i guess,but cant stop whining about it nevertheless. And while all this was happening, Anna's frend Himanshu had come and me n Anna had sneaked out from the hostel. Had too much fun :D- different story, saving it for sometime else, when i 'd really need to look back upon "fond memories" to get out of the constantly pathtetic existence of mine.

There was the OB(call it outstanding bullshit- its just english in reality) test on stress after it, in which all i could think was " i'm stressed ". Then i wake up to reality one fine day before today and realise that i have to submit my Business English and Costing projects on Saturday and Monday and that i havnt even started working on either. I have managed to buy notes and MCQs but i'd just shock myself if i ever use them anytime hours befor ethe exams.

I thought i'd play it smart for Business Eng n use the report on Academic Summit which Vibhav n Me had written n i'd manipulate the findings and all that. Turns out the report is no longer on my laptop or with anyone with whom i'd thought it would be. As for the Acc. project- all i hav wid me is the letter from college. All in all, i've been ranting on about how busy it is these days, but havnt been doing all that much to resolve the problems on hand. Tomorrow i hav 2 submit my Business Eng project n there's way too much to do, but i sit here blogging, writing an extra long post.
