2 down

Today we had our first SYBA FC (read Foundation Course) exam and honestly speaking, it was lovely lovely lovely, regardless of what Soul and others may say. First of all, Father Arun, who's our FC prof, is wayyy cooler than the other divisions' FC profs because not only does he encourage a hell of a lot of interaction in class (and he believes in the 'nothing's right and nothing's wrong' dictum which really opens the opinion floodgates if u know what i mean), but he also left standing instructions to not write more than 3 sides per answer. Now when ur doing Arts, you generally write a 3 side answer when you don't have anything to write about, i.e. are completely clueless and have to fill paper and waste ink. So actually being able to fill only 3 sides with sense, that was a new experience.

But the coolest thing about Fr. Arun i was to discover today...when he told me to go ahead and write an answer to a question that wasn't there! Well what the deal actually was that all those who had done presentations were assured that there would be a question on their respective topics. Since our topic was abortion, i'd gone in with a pretty decent idea about what i was gonna write...and then we discover that there is no question on abortion! So when Arun came in for clarifications, i had pretty much resigned myself to the fate of having to write on something like the classification of human rights (which is about as interesting as the first few episodes of Seinfeld), but i told him about it nevertheless. And what does he do? He hits me on the head, points out to a question on the right to life (which only included capital punishment genocide and euthanasia) and told me to go along with abortion anyway! I was so delighted that i wrote him some pretty entertaining answers..replete with sarcastic remarks about Bush, ultra-feminist-bashing and i forget now what else. I only wish all the others in my prez group , ie bhagi, Soul, netra etc knew of this and didn't have to end up writing on mercy-killing and torture.

Human Rights have never been so interesting. Even Soul, who wasn't very prepared for the paper, had fun coz she, in her own words, got to create her own rights. Of course, she didn't let go of her right to point out, to EVERYONE we met, the lovely designs my pen had unwittingly made ALL OVER MY FACE! But it's ok, i completely forgive this pen because of how freakishly fast it writes! It reminds me of Sylvia Plath in Ariel. God's lioness........

Yesterday's POA (psych of adjustment) paper was not the best coz i forgot to wear my watch and so i couldn't exactly time myself (read spend the first hour on the first question and the second hour on all the rest). Funny coz it was a paper for which we had to create a plan for Effective Time Management! And then in the subsequent answers it got a little funny coz now i was running against time, the stress got to me and made me forget a few things, and while this is happening, i'm writing an answer on how stress affects retrieval to cause cognitive impairment!

Ok, back to the Multiplication Theorem Of Probability and the Influence Of Sylvia Plath's Life On Her Poetry.

I cannot believe i missed writing out my wonderlife pro-life ideologies on abortion,just cos i didnt ask. i wouldve asked him, but was afraid he might get angry or yell at me for blatantly asking for answers,much like patel did to me in the 5th std when i asked him to confirm the meaning of "menial".

As for POA effective time-managemnt-cant u eat your chicken soup on time?? :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P
