I continute my incessant attempts to write out my vows here, partly because theres nobody to talk to and I have an MD exam coming up in 2 days. Really can't get myself to read that crap, but systems theory says that one has to do what he has to, to be in a system.
anyway, this can't be worse than measurements, or it might be. false assumptions are becoming a kind of habit now.
hmm, anyway, what were the so called theory exams kind of finished yesterday, leaving me into a state of vacuum right now, caught between worlds, nothing to do, except thinking what to do.
you gotta admit then, one thing that is good about exams is that you do not waste time thinking what you have to do next. the answers are pretty simple, especially if you are giving the DAUNTING 3rd semester exams at DCE, the college where you can predict to a certainty og 66.6..%(2/3) which questions are going to come, and so you manage to get 66.7% + the additional benefits which you get by your toil going through an entire syllabus, so you manage to improve your record marginally.
anyway, i will write about my PA practical exam, since im extremely bored and i have no life :D.
Some teacher: 20 minutes to write the theory, apparatus, and draw the circuit diagrams. please go and write your aims. all instructions are written there.
we do as told. 20 mins(supposedly) pass. suddenly i see parth looking towards me, smiling in a sort of helpless way, when the lab assistant enters my cabin(i was given that computer cabin to sit and write that theory) and asks for our sheets. im nonplussed.
i got blocked rotor/noload tests on an induction motor. the damn experiment has 4 circuit diagrams. 20 minutes? i ask him to give me some more time. he refers me to the examiner. parth who got no load/blocked rotor, along with me, goto the examiner.
me: sir, please give us some extra time. sir, chaar(4) circuit diagrams hain.
him: nahin. koi time nahin milega. wahaan(instruction sheet copy karte time) par pehle baate karte rahe ab time chahiye.
me: sir, please..4 diagrams hain. kisi ka bhi poora nahin hua.
him: arre mujhe mat batao kitne diagrams hain. 1 circuit diag banane mein 3 minute lagte hain. baaki time theory aur apparatus mein laga sakte hain.
me: sir, please..(at a loss of words). I look at the lady teacher for some sympathy.
him: koi time nahin milega. bhaago yahaan se.
Right. So with a morale lacking stride, we again do as told. Half heartedly complete our experiments. We get back our sheets. I get a B+(or beta +) nobody in our group does better. parth manages a B-. This is when I just drew the circuit diagrams, no apparatus, no theory, while parth atleast completed his work assigned.
This college is weird.
