Most of the 8th of September was spent recovering from the craziness of Atharv 2014. Our BET dinner was scheduled for the evening of the 8th- BET aka Business Etiquette is a 2-credit course, this term. One part of the course focuses on Dining Etiquette. So, one of the components for the grading of the course is a Business Dinner. Dinner arrangements have been made in 3 batches of 35 students each. Ours had the privilege of being the first batch. It was lovely to see everyone all dressed up, for it was a formal dinner & dressing was graded too. It was even better to see everyone work their way through a 5-course meal, suspiciously using 4 different forks, 2 different knives and 3 different spoons and some daring ones even using a pair of chopsticks. We were back on campus only after mid-night.
Yesterday was spent finally winding up writing about Atharv Day #1. Then, there was this morning’s end-term to think about. Unfortunately, my preparation stopped at thinking about preparing. That’s how it almost always is!
There’s an EVM-Electronic Voting Machine- to be made, as part of our Introduction to Engineering course. It ought to be ready by Saturday & we’re yet to start working on it.
In other news, we received an e-mail informing us that the whole month of December shall be a long break, to allow us to prepare extensively for our IGNOU exams during that time. People are now contemplating changing their examination centres to home territory, instead of spending a month here, for the actual papers are on less than 7 days. The B.Comm students all have 7 papers & 7 assignments to write. I, on the other hand, have only 4! The assignments need to be written & submitted by the 15th, along with two DD’s- one for examination fees and the other for next year’s fees.
This morning’s end-term paper was rather okay. Compared to the International Relations mid-term paper, which was both lengthy and extensive, the end-term was more compact & enjoyable. I shall get some lunch & get working on the fest reports for day #2 & 3.
