Bok's Law
If you think education is expensive -- try ignorance.
There I am, 3 days from one of the important exams of my life (I have a feeling that I said the same thing about 4 months ago) - the Common Admission Test, 2003 - an incongruity as it is being held in 2004 - because some silly rogues thought that it would be worthwile to leak out papers to undeserving candidates and thence screw the IIM entrance examination. And it has thrown the schedules of many people haywire - the Application process for some was made more difficult, the final year project got affected, and the patience of everybody ran out. But enough of me (or others) berating those insolent fools. What has happened has happened - it is inevitable; and I have to write it again, whether it is to my advantage or not, only time will tell.
My preparation, though abysmal compared to others, is, I feel, reasonably enough for me. The paper will most probably be more tougher this time, but I see many of my classmates not putting the equivalent effort that they had put for the first "
mock CAT". I still need some brushing up in certain areas, and I feel that there is enough time for it - 3 more days. If any of you are reading this, pray for my luck. I need lots of it.
One sad aspect is that, most of my Valentine's day would end me up poring over a lot of CAT problems. Nonetheless, I do not usually do anything special on the 14th of February; so it wouldnt be a day
wasted .
I also decided that I would go to the
Planet Digit Convention here in Chennai on the 14th and 15th.
Yes, YES, I am one of those digital geeks who plays around a lot with computers - I have been subscribing to
Digit for over two and half years now.With the CAT on the 15th, I have no other choice but to go after the exam. Which leaves me about 5 hours after the exam to exercise my Right at the convention (If you havent figured it out, my aim there is do Gaming).
That reminds me, I have another exam on Monday.
Oh well, Guess I wont be able to study for that.
