Some more updates.
Life sounded real cool this week. After the first week where we all were made to slog (asssignment submissions, quizzes etc), this week brought in the 'optional' perspective.
Acad life:
We still have this pre-class preparation, surprise quizzes, cold calls etc... but then, we all are relatively left with ample time to utilize/waste.
I'm coming to believe that even after 100 pages of material to read, some class reading etc, one can always get a comfortable sleep of 6 to 7 hrs, if one *tries*. Its all in the time management. As someone mentioned in the IIM-B or L thread (i forget which), its become like a to keep oneself awake till 3/4 in the morning.
Acad nightmares:
One word: Accounts. Many of us are not understanding the heads and tails of accounts. And people say 'it' hasn't even started. It keeps the inner alarm tingling, near the danger mark.
And yeah, the unforgettable Human R. I've always believed that its the practice that makes HRs, and the course underlines it. To quote a line -
the definition of human values:
basic convictions that specific mode of conduct or end state of existence is personally or socially preferable to an opposite or converse state of conduct or end state of existence. [ Pls tell me what exactly it means

]
I guess this sums it all. The language is as pompous and useless as it can get. Now which is tough - HR or accounts?
Misc:
There are also some routine weekly analysis events, caricature contests, caption contests etc... I'm yet to venture into any of those.
And yeah, on the misc front, as jamster mentioned, we had the tams meet some 3 days back. Was a real blast! I now know the value of Mama's Idli.
Quizzes:
Plus, the quiz team comprising of jamster, Mango and whencool again made it to the top-3, this time in the general quiz. Two consecutive wins, I guess they are THE quizzers in our batch.
Food:
Some people like the food here. My say is: its ok. It isn't great, and it isn't bad either. Less variety, and very less South Indian food. Maybe people who are very used to Chappathi and its combos find it very good.
Movies:
We get pretty much a huge list in our LAN. Managed to watch Kill Bill2, Last Samurai and Schindlers list in the last 2 days. Oh yeah! this is where the better part of my time goes!
Physical act.:
We waste (?) a lot of time these days in Volley, TT, Basketball etc. Somehow I find all this very addictive, particularly when compared to the other option - studies.

The Gym is fundu too.. altho I've just been there once.
The post's already long... pushing off...
