On the outlook, IV semester promises to be boring because of the cancellation of events of all clubs, ‘tech’ or otherwise, due to their apparent getting-in-the-way of the students ‘academics’ which leaves only Engineer and Incident as the mentionable events to look forward to.
Classes - It has been two weeks and my resolution to not sleep in class and take down notes has been severely tested. The classroom seems to have a soporific aura all around it. And every time I enter it, the sparse mess lunch seems all too heavier, eyelids begin to droop (more than usual!), and voices of other students seem distant as I slip away from reality. By the time I get in, frown at the shameless nerds cramming 5 or 6 of themselves into benches of 4 and take my usual last bench seat (not that I have a choice!) the teacher has already entered and it is time to begin the epic struggle against the oncoming waves of sleep. With the subject under ‘discussion’ (I must say monologue) and the drone of the lecturers not even slightly helping my cause, I rely on sheer determination to pull through the rest of the class and though I’ve stuck to the resolution so far, the future seems uncertain.
Music - I’ve been listening to more of stoner metal bands like Orange Goblin, Grand Magus, and Spiritual Beggars characterised by their heavy Black Sabbath inspired riff, gruff and haunting vocals, dark, gloomy and satanic lyrics.
Anime – Recently watched a series called Blade of the Immortal. A slash-and splash anime like Ninja Scroll and Basilisk, which explores the concept of immortality while trying to prove the finality of death, involving rogue samurais, forbidden techniques, the works. Nice time pass.
Up next (probably): “On birthdays”
