The last two days have been more hectic than any two days in the last term. Having procrastinated a lot for the first two days of the term break, I finally started work on the four competitions and the PaEV submission sometime on Monday morning. Here's the timeline.
1100 - Wake up, smell the coffee
1130 - Start working on Entrepid. Can't believe I'm doing DMOP again.
1330 - Hide & Seek serve as breakfast. Yes, I know the time, thank you.
1500 - Sid calls. Time to break off from Entrepid, and start work on PaEV.
1530 - Meeting at the cafe. Pizza & cold cofee a good lunch make.
1600 - Sid & I set up shop in the library.
1900 - Data, data everywhere, but not a clue to think.
2045 - burst of inspiration! Google rocks! Powerpoint sucks!
2230 - one document down, one more to go, but it's time for a dinner break.
0000 - both documents done. now to work on the b-plan competition.
0030 - numbers not good. Company is the second biggest money guzzler in history.
0045 - numbers changed. Now it's the biggest money guzzler in history.
0050 - Drastic changes! Layoffs! Salary cuts!
0115 - Give up. This is of no use. Hope that sanity shall return with the sun.
0130 - chat with Dee. Discuss next steps for the next day.
0145 - party going on in SV1 lawns
0150 - SG on the violin. AG on the tabla. SD on the whiskey.

0230 - back in my room, checking emails, playing catch-up on orkut.
0245 - Entrepid deadline's postponed. Leaves me Ashwamedha & Papyrus to work on.
0250 - Start dawdling on Ashwamedha.
0330 - Still dawdling on Ashwamedha.
0400 - The meaning of the first case hits me! I see light!
0415 - Wah Taj! Cuppa black tea. Wish I had lemon.
0430 - Yahoo! chat with my cousin. He advises me to sleep. Ha, I reply.
0500 - back to the case. Time to test my writing skills.

@mama
thanks :-)
Is that a 36 day cycle you just chalked out or am I missing some thing??
@EU
nopes, it was a 36, rather 37, hour cycle. It went up to 48 hours before I crashed into a deeeeep slumber, but the remainder wasn't too interesting.
Phew! whats that schedule chiranth. Seems the 24hr routine seemed to have mercilessly dragged to 36/37hr or as u said 48hr schedule. In any case i feel it would have left u fully drained out of resources.
Thanks :) i think it is ctrl+shift+del if u want to thrash for good. crl+alt+del is for locking the screen :)
This is u r vaction routine staying up for 36hrs woow so how does u r term days go?? 54 hrs at a stretch. u guys really work hard.good luck for u r new term hope u got all the electives u wanted :)
@Hitha
well, it depends on the assignments and submissions, but it usually doesn't get as bad..
yep, I did manage to get the electives I'd bid for. so that's a headache less.
chi..blog looks nice !!
i visited after a looooong time...still as interesting as ever :)
@Shivangi
thank you :)
