I woke. My mind tells me to check the clock. Its 6.55. I have an alarm at 7.00. Lets sleep till 7 . I try and when I think its 7.00, its only 6.56. Totally bored to sleep, I wake up. Its 21st July, 2008. Thoughts start creeping in. Its first day of SE. SE dammit SE. I am a senior now. I won't have common syllabus . We might have a better lot of professors - Yippeeeeee. I won't have the same classroom - :(. "TRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNNNNNG" - 7'o clock alarm. Press Quit. Why does the alarm have to ring when something that makes you sad crosses your mind?
Fast forward directly to SPCE-SPIT Quadrangle. 8.45 am.
I can see Rishkul sitting. Kaushik is also here along with Shrey and Shreyansh. And there is Mark. I wave to everyone. Shake hands with everyone. All SE's now. I ask Rishkul - " Room kaunsa hai?" Room 304. 3rd floor - shit,climb 3 floors daily. Booooorrrriiinnng. First is the Maths lecture by some professor names Gajabiye. True to SP traditions of nothing starting on time, so did our SE class. Lecture canceled. We head to the Gymkhana. All of FE, not a single day was spent at the Gymkhana. Here we were spending our 1st lecture in the Gymkhana. All was fun till we got a call from one of our classmates saying the next lecture had begun. We head towards the classroom with anxiety as to how the new professor will be. Before I could have entered the room, she had already started her subject :(. Me, Kaushik and Suresh sat on the same bench which was made for only two of us. Last bench it was, so everything justified. Lecture over. Next professor in - Prof. Bhagat. A very very cool professor whose teaching is better than any professor I have come across in SP till now. He took class for 1.15 hrs of his 2 hours and left us to one horrible professor whom I wouldn't like to name. He was trying to exceed the 30 minute slot that we managed to fit in for him. That was it. The 30 minute lecture almost felt like a 3-4 hours lecture and he wanted to exceed it. We asked him to stop with shouts of "Sirrrrrrrrr....Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". He said something and left the class but who cared. He left and that was the end of day 1 at college.
I don't remember my journey back home and what happened after that. But college was a bit boring that day. There was excitement of meeting all friends after a long time but that was the 1st one hour. Once back to normal, the first day was boring. Nothing changed about the lectures. the same boring ones. No change whatsoever. Neither our attitude changed nor the professors. Neither we cared what the thought us, nor they cared what we understood. We had our lunch the same way that we used to have in FE - eating more from others boxes than your own. Everything was actually the same - except for change in our year: FE to SE. What was the biggg fuss about first day of SE when nothing had changed.
Ohh! I forgot. Room 304 from Room 8!
