YES.... I am happy. Finally the mid semester exams are over. I had the final paper today. Digital Systems. It was piece of cake. But due to my own foolishness, I was not able to finish the entire paper in time.
Let me start from the start. As usual, I had gone to my friend's place to pick him up for the paper. We both know the subject very well. So we were a bit relaxed and were chatting about the possible questions and all. His mother then asked for a cup of tea, he said yes, and during that time we realized that it was 5 minutes for the exams to begin and we had to travel about 3.5Km to the college and then get the answer sheets from the store room.
So, we were about 5-7 minutes late for the paper. And so, due to my own foolishness, I lost an opportunity to score 100% in at least one paper. :-(
But I guess this is life. It never happened with me ever in my entire academic life. I guess, that after all, this was that first time......

Stage one finished.... two more to go....
Huh... Finally.... The first day of the exams was quite ok. I think I am going to score more than what I was expecting in Maths. And as far as Electrical Machines is concerned, I think that I did ok there also.
It was a great fun. All the BE guys (and gals) which were giving the exam with us (of course, different papers :-)), were all chatting, using mobile phones for copying and all. It was fun. And, you know, one cannot be a saint in this world anymore. Or at least I can't. So if I see someone copying and getting more marks than I, then I am going to follow them (Well, when you see, you will find that I say this every time and never do that.... but of course you can always take hints and tally answers.. ;-)).
So, it was fun. Now, two more days and 3 more papers to go.... I am looking forward to it.

Exams..... I hate them...
This again has been a very bad week for me. First thing was because the college management has decided to reform all the batches. And so, I will again have to be with new guys (actually my friends only, but never practical partners). And it will take time to adjust. I mean, you can never really understand what I mean unless you experience it yourself. (In short, I am not a very good writer).
Then, one of my most favorite teachers left our class and the new one... well I am not gonna say anything here (you know, public place). And now, I have 2 papers tomorrow. It sucks. They are only taking the papers cause they have been ordered to do so (seen a few good men anyone?, my men follow orders or people die.... like hell they die, but why exams?).
I still have to read about 400 pages and write something that will get me some good marks... And this all has driven me crazy. I have been having constant headache and nausea for last 4-5 days. How the hell am I supposed to write papers like this? It's going to be the worst exam ever.
I have never failed an exam in my entire life, or have came below distinction. In spite of knowing that theres always a first time for everything, I wish that this is not the first time for me to fail in anything.....

GOD HP sucks or what.....
I have had enough. This is nuts. CRAZY. It's been only 4 days and the new DVD drive that HP gave me is giving more problems. I have been using the emergency open butten (the small hole and pin thingy) to open the drive. It does not recognize DVDs, it does not burn them at full speed. It does not open as I already mentioned. And it even cannot spin the disks as it seems.
So now I am going to shout,

I am thinking (just thinking) business now.....
I was surfing through the web today and came across many blogs which claim that they earn a lot of money from various sources from the net. One site caught my attention in perticular. It was about earning money from your blog. John Chow. Its really good article. It helped me a lot.
So, I just went on and subscribed for ReviewME then I subscribed for Auction Ads and then I created a PayPal (use the donate button if you can) account and now, I am here with the Technorati Profile of mine. I am working on it. It will be completed soon.
I am also thinking of redesigning my website. But I have exams from 27th of August. So, this will take time. But I am working on it.....

Ready for some work now.......
Finally as I said, my laptop is back and I have installed Windows XP on it. (You know, some of the proprietory software that I use forces me to use Windows, not to forget Visual Basic which I am planning on learning.....) and my most favourite game, Railroad Tycon II Gold Edition... I tried using is in Linux through wine.... it does not support my hardware....
So, I am thinking.... What am I going to do with this OS other than this stuff? I don't think anything once I install Debian. So, I am going to play with some files using Resource Hacker and then make my system just the way I want it to be.
So I am going to start the work right now and change some things... Will be back with a post in an hour or so. (Actually it does not take an hour but I am too lazy to post it all...)

Another problem with my laptop.......
Shit man. I am sick and tired of this now. This time it is again the DVD drive that is out of order. I wasted 8 sony DVD+Rs with it. Sick. I tried writing the DVDs from 5 differant apps on 3 different OSs. All failed.
So now, the laptop is in HPs service centre. And this old PC of mine is not much of a help either. 500MHz, 96MB RAM. It sucks also. And the keyboard is ancient. (7 years old). The keys are hard and they stick. (Not sick. I don't use the same word more than required :-)).
So, I am not posting much right now, though there is a lot to write. I will just skip it for now, and maybe continue when I gewt my laptop back. It took me 8 minutes to write this, where in I would have done the same in 3 minutes.
