Records are such a drag. Ask the electrical engineers, they ll tell you the horrors of the never ending drudgery! Well the 2009-2013 batch of SRM University was not spared. To add to it, we had to record for “ABET ACCREDITATION”. :/
Not all that bad, since we figured out later that we could laugh it all away! :D let me tell you my experience. First was the part when I kept losing stationery! Drove me mad in the beginning, because I had to keep buying them. Then suddenly it hit me how foolish it was! Then came the adaptation phase. I took a lesson out of Newton ’s discoveries! Law of conservation of matter: no matter how many scales or pencils or erasers I lost, by the end of the day, I got a replacement! :D :P not so bad na? ;)
Then came phase famine. My very brilliant department which gave us 200 SRM sheets for two records the previous semester, suddenly decided to give us 150 sheets for three records! Funniest part: was there were no SRM sheets in campus for sale! This is when having friends in other departments helps. I went round asking for sheets! And this is the same time when SRM brains doesn’t actually help! They gave different shades of blue for different departments. Well, had to make it work! Let them deal with the colours, we decided.
Then came the crazy crazy pre-lab and post-lab questions. Just when we think we are over and done with the records, just a week before the exams, ABET comes to test us even more. The scramble for time and papers continued. Thank god, we have google! :D while writing down the answers I realized one thing: it is so bloody easy to ask the questions! :/
The hilarious part was reserved for the exams, I guess. Right after a stressful struggle with the machines and circuits, we were given a “team members evaluation sheet”! I honestly felt like a cosmic joke was being played on me! Seriously! If this had continued a little more, they might have ended up locking some of us up, charging us with “first degree” and the rest with “ABETting”. :P
Well, now that the monster’s behind and with the fun in memory, lets give a smashing performance in our model examinations! My wishes to all EEE engineers in the making and ofcourse to my other college-mates! :) :) All the best! :) :)
hilarious! :D
