one hell of a semester...2.1, never going to forget this one. 6th of july, the first day of 2.1, i was more than excited (and few friends very rightfully call me the electron). The reason for all the excitement was the fact that we were moving "quarters" from our dept in the engineering college to the medical college.
I'm a person of utter punctuality, so i reached college an hour before the actual reporting time, and got busy rubbing my nose into the latest edition of  "Litmus": our college newspaper.
It was not very long that i started having human company. Two of my seniors came to the dept, and the only topic both of them started was "The medical college".  One of them warned me of it. " you surely will go mad this sem"
"why is that?" i asked, puzzled at his statement.
"first thing, your timetable will go on a holiday, and you'll have no idea what's happening. Second, the subjects are killing. and third, you won't feel like sitting in the classrooms."
Hm.... that sure was a little shock.
But after our curriculum started and classes were being taken, we realised our seniors were more that 100% right. We were there to study three killers....anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.
First class we had on Tuesday of the first working week was biochemistry. The lady who was giving us an overview of what we will be taught in the sem, the HOD, i realised, was just too scary. Not the appearance, but the air. She is the only teacher i ever feared in all these years of my learning.
Physiology was divided into two for us: the biological background by one doctor and the mathematical aspects by the HOD himself. He had a killer "laughing style" and i mean it. a smile on any of the students was his stimulus. and his laughter was a stimulus for mine.
Anatomy, i have absolutely no complaints. One sane dept i must say. The first class was taken by Dr.Rajasree, and we all loved the class. She became our favourite. Infact, all the anatomy professors were awesome.
We didnt notice time run by, and our semester exams started. The thing that we didnt realise all along and realised now, was that we had absolutely no idea of what we had learnt all these four months. The only thing we could do was pray and fight the battle of terrifying papers.
fifteen days of the exam schedule was a sickening one.
but now, after having finished with the troll-like exams, i hope i forget my answers to each question, and get surprised seeing my marks.
All the best to all those who are writing exams!!!
