And Life Moves On...

Couldn't believe that I have not updated my blog since two months now.Not that I didnt have anything worth writing..actually its quite a contrast to it!

A new semester has started and the feeling that this is likely to be my last semester here in Manipal is slowly sinking in.Suddenly I'm overwhelmed by a sense of realisation that sand is running out of my hand at an uncontrollable rate... the way it has been for the last three years.However,this semester is something very very different.I always wanted to live an "all-rounder's" life here,which includes performing well in studies,managing my extra curriculars well,sports of course and a few other things here and there.Not sure what all would I be able to achieve in the next three months but the start is showing ominous signs.

I wrote my sessional papers a week ago and after a long period of low single digit scores since I entered Electrical Engineering I'm happy to announce that it's been fairly satisfactory.For a change I've studied a paper or two in class itself,so as to save up on the preparation time during tests and whatever little effort I had put in,it showed.

Getting the highest marks in one of the low scoring papers was the most satisfying performances and getting 5 double digit scores out of a possible 6 is something that I hadn't done ,if you take out the first yr performance.However,I had set a few goals for this semester,both academically and otherwise and till now,I've been well on course but there's a long way to go before I start jumping up and down.

have been real bad in one paper,scoring 3 on 20 and I've to make sure that I get to a safe total in the next two,so that this doesn't count.
Wish me luck for my goals!!!
