Couldn’t really think of another title so entered something vague. It’s now been 10 days since I set foot in this hostel. A new place, a new life and a new environment.
In these ten days, I’ve done things I never imagined I would – cleaned toilets, did my laundry etc. From the time I set foot in this hostel, I’ve only made friends. It’s a different experience altogether, living on your own with people from different parts of the country. Although, a campus hostel would’ve been appreciated but this is as close as one gets to hostel life away from the college campus.
My own room, with my own loo and my own space. I do have to share it with another guy but I think it’s largely OK. Getting up at 7 in the morning, going for my breakfast and then walking in this heat to the college are just some of the things I’m doing, which I never really had done. Landran was more like a four year vacation. I could skip college at will, give exams when I wanted to and ignore the faculty when I desired. Over here it’s quite the opposite. The environment is professional and I usually find myself sitting in the library after classes, something I was certain would never happen in this lifetime.
I think I made the right choice. MBA for me isn’t just another course. It isn’t a means of getting a good placement. I’m doing this because I want to work. For once in my life, I want to slog and prove to myself that I can do wonders. I don’t want to feel all raw.
The Term-1 officially commenced today, on 30th June. An action packed day filled with case studies, assignments, projects and the like. The mid terms are somewhere in the first week of August. I’m really not scared at the moment. Just beginning to feel excited about all the learning that will take place. I don’t know how well I’ll do but I intend on giving it my 100% this time. Since I’m free from any sort of commitments or distractions, it makes the task easier.
Girls don’t really excite me. Delhi doesn’t excite me. It’s my course that does. I don’t care if I’ll get a job after this because I know that in the end I’ll come out as a better person.
Goodnight.
