Last semester begins

Or so I would think if you can call an hour of class, a working day; most people not even getting that meagre "learning experience"! Confusion reigned supreme as a version of the timetable on the dept website called the initial shots for everyone until your's truly took a pic of the timetable shown on the notice board and told others how different the actual version is (This new one was incidently with more subject hours).. 

Oh but the fun had just begun! All present regardless of whether they are 2nd, 3rd or final year students had 1 question: "What subjects do I take?" Confusion was paramount again as the number of credits from electives was in dispute until (For now atleast) the number was fixed at 31 making all woe the addition of the 2 training credits to the 7th semester instead of this one.. You see, the minimum no. of credits/sem is 15 and now we need to take a minimum of 2 subjects (Most need 3 though) in this last semester meant for the "Chill-out".. Oh dont even get me started on the discussion on the mandatory 3 non-academic activities! All this doubt over whether we were to follow a book of 2005 or 2009 when we all still follow texts and references on the 19th century!!

Ya right! When finally the registration sheets arrived, more electives were offered this sem than ever seen before and it took lots of time to decide which ones to take.. The ~10 people present did some shuffling and we arrived to CRD class, a must-have for most people wanting to take 2 subs but only open for the top 15 of our class.. Manish spent most of his time trying to (and failing to) convince people to not take CRD as he would need to take 3 subs otherwise :)

Yesterday was less academics, more galaata (Noise) but I guess thats what this sem is all about! Lets see..
