Exams

I'm sitting by a window in the library in a pensive mood. I have a million thoughts that are running through my head. I'm watching the snow drift gently down, an occasional leaf flies by and all of a sudden the snow begins swirling around. Exam week is almost upon us. I've been through the same routine before, one year prior. I picture myself cuddled up on a couch beside a fire with a book in my hand, a cat on my lap and a cup of hot cocoa on the table beside me. Bliss! But reality strikes ...

Software Engineering .. My team was in a festive mood up until last night when our presentation came together. We ended up working late into the night, as late as 9:30 PM in our usual haunt on campus. It was back home for some food, more preparation and then much needed sleep. I looked at the clock, it was pushing 2:30 AM. I had been burning the midnight oil. 6 AM, an annoying buzz wakes me. I looked at my phone and I had got a text from a friend who hadn't slept that night. I called, only to find out that someone else had the exam blues too. That put me in a much better mood, I must say. I leave the house at 6:45 AM and its pitch dark. It had been raining through the night. It was freezing cold and I had forgotten my shawl. Brrr! I make it class only to find out that the professor wasn't there to let us in.

When it all finally began, I was pumped. Wanted to get this course over with so I could move on. My team went ahead with gusto and as a result impressed everyone, setting pretty high standards for the rest of the teams to follow. So that's one down with three more to go. Its going to be a long week! Looking on the bright side, I get vacations once I get done with the exams :D Can't wait! I'm travelling ... Yee Haa!!
