A New Life

Here I am now, a month into my professional college. After all I've heard about the free atmosphere of college and the supposed fun that people have there......I have to admit, what I've heard is most definitely true!! The most fascinating thing is how people have stopped actually teaching us and now begin to talk to us like we're equals. It's a little disconcerting to be having an interactive class for 50 mins and being formally taught only for 10 mins but I'm not complaining! The best part is the friends I've found. Again, I've faced problems here....mainly concerning the rate at which I've made them. It took me 2 years to make my closest friends in 11th and 12th. In a month's time, I've made so close friends here that the number greatly dwarfs the one from college!! It's very strange how I've done this but I have absolutely no regrets. Jornalism, the subject of critique.......how great it sounds! So far, I'm not exactly feeling the love. That may be the fault of The Couple but as a certain III JPEng student told us, "Don't lose interest no matter how boring they make it!!" (Everyone from I JPEng who reads this had better know who this was. If not, ask Anju.) As for Brit Lit, on one end we have a teacher who first tells us not to believe what the author says and when we try discussing the contrary, she just shouts us down and tells us to believe what she says......which is going back to square one! On the other end, we have one of the coolest teachers alive teaching us poetry!!! I mean, how many teachers do you know who like Metallica and have watched most of the newly released movies before us??! Psychology is just one of those things both dreams and nightmares are made of. Father Varghese, the living proof that there is God....very much likely! With a small bit of hair on the front that looks like its been stuck with gum, he strides into class, asks us to observe 30 seconds of prayer and begins lecturing us. I have a feeling most of the guys just keep staring at the assistant who apparently is a teacher, though I have my doubts if she can actually teach or not. Then we have her......Ammu Lukose, just one letter away from reinvigourating energy. Unfortunately, due that one missing letter, she saps all your energy instead! But the subject as a whole is really interesting. My mom's yelling at me to get off the comp now so I won't be able to comment on the 6 canteens in the place. But then there are newslatters to find that out in. To all those currently working on theirs, I wish you all good luck!

Çiao!

P.S. I dedicate this to all my friends in class! You guys rock!!! Love you all!
