It is nearly 3 o' clock on the morning of 1st of April, 2007 and till now I have lived through 365x2 + (365 - 42) days of Economics and God knows I am done with it! As much as I like the feel of being an Economics graduate, as much as I appreciate the thought behind every economic logic, and as much as I think that it would be super-cool if I knew all that I should be knowing about MY subject....I don’t want to!
Yes, I find it fancy. Extremely fancy! But from a distance from now on. I don’t want to be studying pages after pages after pages for dumb university exams. NO!
Phew! Needed this between some views on neo-liberalism.

Added later:
I have realised that it's wrong math. It's not 365-42 days. But I'm sure you know that I don't care. All I know is that it's 42 more days to go. Thank you!

U know, I've realised that in my 2nd year itself...I;m not meant for Eco and have no great love for it....and i have no idea how I'm supposed to survive another year.
Just another month or so to go. Hang in there. Till then - vent, vent, it does make you feel better :)

You know what I did? I didn't even allow myself to say that to myself any time before the end of this year. (Officially, of course, it was in Candid. :D) But you know, there's a big psychological game involved too. I wish I had not confessed this before the final exams either. I've made it even more difficult for myself to study.
So if you think what I am saying is making sense, start lying to yourself. Or at least remind yourself that Eco's not bad. Just that your equation with it is a little out of balance and it'll be fine after some time.
And of course, you can chuck all this if you think you don't need it. :-)

Oh yeahhh...hanging in! Venting did not just make me feel better, it made me study properly after that too.
Yay!
hmm......wat made u choose it ?
Economics...Hmmm. I am not really interested in all these subjects you know. But, since just 42 days are left, don't feel unhappy. The time will fly.
THE day I'd write my last final exam is coming.. soon.. (OH MY GOD)
The thought is SO exciting and scary. Grrr.
But I still DON'T have to study like you guys!
*evil grin*
u know what, thts exactly what i do!!!! i tell myself tht i CHOSE this n so i obviously like it... cribbing about it does tend to make it much worse....
oh, n i finally updated!!

My college, my marks in the subject in 12th, and the thought of it being a challenge for me (long story behind that). Of course, I liked whatever I knew of it till then too.
Sinjini
Yeah, I know you like History. Following in someone's footsteps, huh? :-)
And I'm not unhappy. Was just a little irritated that time.
Rohit
Yeah, you just work on never-ending submissions.
*evil grin*
Shreya
Hmmm..yeah.
And I've left a comment too. :)
Which are more fun than neo-liberalism and the works.
*thunderous evil grin*
Say that when you know what neo-liberalism is!
Ha!
I DON'T need to know what it is.. just the way it sounds works just right!
My two bit before this becomes a war.
I had eco in 11 and 12. And I did fairly ok that time, but never liked it enough to consider doing any more with it.
But I had similar frustrations with history...in spite of liking it very much. So, you are not unique in your sorrow...that should cheer you up. Just 42 days more. All the very best.
Rohit
Good for you.
:D
Woodsmoke
Yay! I know yaa...just the way these exams are conducted irritates the hell out of everyone. You suddenly need to know SO much! But good to know that you've been here too. :D
Economic problems are making their presence felt in many ways. We must do something about it! I say, bring a new wave; a wave of neo-reformism.
My sentiments exactly!
@ Shreya: I realised that in first year itself. :( I've survived 2 and a half years, so I guess you can easily survive one year. Although, I think I'm already starting to run out of steam. Not now, not so close to the end! :(
Subhadip
Not me yaar. I can refer you to some people who may be doing it in future. But not me.
Jayant
Hmmm...
i couldn't help but notice that you said you have exactly 42 days left. have u ever read the 'hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy"?
if you have, you'll know what i'm talking about. if you haven't then it's too long to explain really.
a little freaky, that's all.

Well, I haven't read it. So I have no idea. But am quite curious 'coz I've heard a lot about the book.
But why do you choose to be anonymous?
for some reason my username wasn't working. anyway, i'm "anonymous" lol.
and yes, you should read it, it's an excellent book.
Okie! I'll put it on list of things to do after the exams.
And now that I know you're also doing Eco, I'm kinda curious how you're taking it? :D
