Day 83: 11th Sep, 2009

Reached my room at 8.30 in the morning and had the presentation at 10.00. The temptation to use this 1.5 hrs to squeeze in a small nap is the riskiest one, since you just don't wake up on time! I fortunately woke up at 9.45 and rushed to the class; only to find none of my other group members had come. Immediately started calling them. One smart guy had not slept, so he was safe. Two of them somehow woke up when I called them and rushed in a few min. One poor guy could not be reached and he dozed his way off and missed the presentation. Talk about a hard night's work wasted!

BIO presentations as usual continued with the madness of extra comments. Today saw a nice little goof-up by one of the groups. Even as the presentation was going on, suddenly the slides started coming without any content in them :D . Apparently they had opened some wrong file or something!

You might start wondering if we are all machines to just go on without sleep, but it is more about balancing sleep a little. You either make up on the lost sleep yourself or else it will catch up with you. I chose today afternoon to sleep. And guess what, slept from 3.45pm - 11pm - for a good 7 hours - in the day :D

Was woken up by an INDEX mate. Ran a little late to the INDEX room for the meet. Right after that, got a call from a classmate. He called to inform me that the ITC presentation had been preponed to tomorrow morning from tomorrow evening. Apparently the prof sent this mail at 11.45 in the night :-S. Back to the library to debug our excel sheet and then make the presentation. So here I am at 04.00 am, at the library again, this time for some other reason. Lucky me for having had my quota of sleep! Time to leave now(no rains today thankfully!) and get some sleep. Have sufficient buffer to get some sleep before the presentation :-p

PS: last day of lectures for term 1 done!
