Last Sem...

So this is it. It's nearing the end of a 4 year saga at NITC. haven't written anything for the past few months. Notable events are quite a handful!On the technical front, we finally installed moodle server at NITC.. all thanks to "hash" :-).Moodle is supposed to be a course management software, which is free and open source! Anything you want to do in a course.. like conducting quizzes,assignments,grading etc.. u name it.. it's there in moodle.
I had just taken a seminar/presentation/demo of moodle for the faculty. I sincerely hope all of them use it... considering the time and effort put into it by so many people like Deepak sir,hanoosh etc... I started enjoying the LAB admin work. I actually have fallen in love with the LAB.. though it would probably never reach as much as Hash's love for LAb :P. Another reason I love the lab os the fact that we do not have NEt in the morning in hostel.. yea! only for girls :(.from 8-2 p.m. We hav complained to everyone possible.. written petitions, verbally complained what not!...but all in vain :(
On the personal front... past few months have been quite a struggle.. trying to get over an addiction... movie addiction.I sit in front of the computer for more than 5 minutes.. and LO! switch on lansurfer and see as many movies as possible.. till i finally get a headache.
Coming to college, life is just the same.Class is the same. Though we hardly ever meet our classmates much thanks to different electives and just one core subject.Some of us actually have fridays off since electives are in a such a way that 1 and 1/2 hour each in 2 days a week rather than 3 hours a week. So that makes it a 3 day holiday in a week!Thankfully I don't have it that way..i say thankfully coz seriously after a few weeks.. i bet it would start gettin boring.. plus 1 and 1/2 hr continously is too much.I slept through my first ever 1 and 1/2 hour class, thanks to the timing in the afternoon...We might hopefully go on some trip this semester considering that we are probably the only branch in 4th yr who have never ever gone on a trip.. excluding of course what we call the "bangalore trip" :).
