Well, If you have ever tried studying after a break of 7 years , then you understand as to why I haven't written anything for the last one week. Man, it's crazy !! Especially the days with 2 classes in a row. For the pedantic onces let me explain "2 classes in a row ": The lunch break is negligible when you deduct from it the time it takes to get out of the class, stand in a queue in the loo, stand in a queue for the food and then stand in a queue to sit down and eat in peace. But peace there is none because you have but a mere few minutes to ram down as much nourishment (my classmates might disagree with the word) as you can and hope that you are not the last person returning to the class. That reminds me of a day during the induction when everyone returned around 15 minutes late from the lunch . Well you can't really start a presentation (read lecture) if the audience is not in, can you now :D . Just a thought and am in no way implying that we should use such underhanded methods to increase the duration of our breaks.
But , I digress as always. So as I said, I had a miserly lunch and rushed back to the class, having already lost most of the knowledge from the previous class in a mad scamper to feed and relieve myself (not necessarily in that order). By 3:00pm I wanted to leave and by 4:00pm I had already left the class . Well you're physically allowed to leave only after 4:45pm :). The last week has been an amazing experience I'd say, not to say anything of the group assignment meetings (that's a story for another day). And despite all my raving and ranting for last 5 minutes I seemed to like the classes . It had been long since I learnt something completely new ( People who know me would tend to articulate that since I know so little its easy for me to be in this position, since everything is in fact new for me. But then I hate and disagree with almost everyone I know , besides the people I don't understand and hence ignore and hate all the more) So it has been great learning all this new stuff (I have forgotten most of it and hence cannot elaborate , "stuff" is specific enough I guess). I hope that the feeling of learning which I had lost touch with (besides my mind) remains through the year and if I can learn each week as much I have done in the last one , I think I will leave Oxford a wiser man (Yup I know it's hard to improve on perfection , but you gotta try , right ? )
I think I'll leave you with those thoughts and get back to something more constructive , may be read ahead for the coming week zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
