Avery's Rule of Three
Trouble strikes in series of threes, but when working around the house the next job after a series of three is not the fourth job -- it's the start of a brand new series of three

Xeroxing my notes
Before reading this, refer to my earlier blog.

From that u mite have pretty much guessed that I am kinda averse to people xeroxing (photostating - for the benefit of others)my notes to study for the exams as they did not attend the classes for that particular course. Probably rite.
The reason for that is I feel that the notes may not be returned to me in a proper condition and that people are taking undue advantage of my notes which was supposed to be exclusively meant for me.

But this time, It was taken to an absurd level.

Granted, that most of my classmates did not xerox my notes per se. They took a copy of the notes from a guy who had photostated mine - A second generation copy u would say... But still...

In fact it was very atrocious. There was this guy who only attended one class of that course - the first exam.... And then there were those whose faces I had not seen at all in class. I would rather not indicate it here...

I thought that atleast the graduate students taking that course (the M. Techs) would atleast attend properly. BUT NO - most of those guys referred to my notes for 3-4 days before the examination... Some of them were cheeky enuf to ask for my notes the day before the examination....

By the eve of the exam for that course, my notes had spread like a virus to almost all the hostels except the girls' (or NON - MALES as we refer to them in our college). That was a saving grace. The irony of all that is that the ppl who studied from my notes ended up doing much better than me (I know that there is no correlation between my writing good notes and my doing well in the exams)

Now with the final eggjam for that course coming up, I would rather that I take a copy of my own notes a backup. I should probably turn this habit of others to my advantage. I should probably charge 5 or 10 bucks for each copy that is taken from my notes - that would make good business sense. Had I done that before, would've earned a lot of money. But now I know the laziness of students....

Lets see
