From BS to MS

A journey more dangerous than a trip through the amazon. One month of my visit to the United states is over, and i have yet to start studying seriously. A grave error or not, time will tell. But one thing i can say is that i have continued my attitude from B.S in India to M.S in USA. This, i can surely state, is a dangerous play.

My first assignment is due on monday, and as is a habit with me, i opened it today, saturday, to look at the questions. As usual, i had no clue, so proceeding with my habit, i opened my book to learn and continue to finish the assignment. ok, i open the book…., give a secong glance at the first question…, find the topic in the book…, read the theory part…,and get back to the question to complete it…

Now, what am i playing at?!!!! The professor has asked for a program, in a language he has never taught, but one which the students are supposed to know to answer the questions!! Hmm… so next step is to learn the language…, which is btw Fortran used in CFD… Hehe, easier said than done….learn a language in one day and complete the problem?!!!… lol, so my attitude as usual makes me close the book, open the laptop, check my mails and the next thing i know… i am writing my next blog, for the first time in a month!!!

, So this is MS till now. What i have realized is that, i can’t just relax till the last minute. The approach towards studies is the more important player here. I have to learn a lot of extra stuff, to understand the stuff that i have registered to learn.

So, for now, i will close the laptop after finishing the post, open the goddamn book, study the theory part, analyze the question and come up with an answer, utilize the entire of tomorrow, which is sunday, to learn Fortran, write the code, run and debug the program, get the damn answers.. take the printouts and submit the answer sheets to my dear proffesor, who awaits it with a face similar to the Indian god of death, who sits with a smiling face on his vehicle, the bull, awaiting his next victim.

Bye Bye from Iowa
