Life @ NUST: 23 - Holidays and Fasting

It's been 2 weeks since the holidays started and there hasn't been a single day on which I haven't slacked; wandering here and there, watching movies, playing games; that's all to it. Before the start of summers, I had thought of many plans to implement and many tasks to accomplish but sadly, very few of them have been fulfilled up till now.

The month of Ramadan is also with us; fasting is something I never ever leave behind. The sun is really a killer these days. It's best to hide in the shelter of houses so as to stay in good health and shape.

Life @ NUST: 22 - ESE Departure

WoWee!!! and finally its all over. Yesh! the storm just ended today with all the ESEs finished and we all are back to our homes. From tomorrow starts Ramadan Kareem and it's really going to be hot outside so it's best that all people leave their hostels immediately and depart for home (which I am pretty sure all would be doing).

This day was surely fun. I started studying quite late and by late I mean just 2 hrs before the ESE. Then I gave my paper in an air conditioned room (well actually I gave all of them like that) with a Britisher as the class invigilator.

Life @ NUST: 21 - ESE Arrival

Last week of semester two with one paper remaining, I can't even study a little bit so I thought I should blog about this.

End Semester Exam started on Friday and will end tomorrow. Damn they were too hectic. No holidays, full course, paper at 0900hrs; everything was so much full of cruelty. I was already out of form since project demonstrations were going and as soon as they finished, "Lo and behold! you shall deal-th with ESEs"

Life @ NUST: 20 - Project Submissions

At the end of every semester, we the students have to complete the End Semester Project just to get a mere 20% of the total grading. Out of a total of 7 subjects (or 6 or 5, trust me I don't know ☺), 3 subjects had an end semester project which were to be submitted in the first week of june.

Trust me, this project thing is so much hectic! it makes us be awake all night. Me and my friends were like "Oh God! Why me!" and we were so exaggerating over the fact that the projects needed to be submitted within one week of starting date.

Dear diary,

      It was one of those days that I didn't mind going to university because the weather was so nice. The sky was overcast with clouds, and the wind had tiny raindrops. I don't think I ever felt that good

Not a lot happened today.and none of it was good.A quiz I never prepared for.A quiz result I wan't prepared for either.I've said it once.and I'll say it a million times.Physics is NOT my cup of tea.Poor teacher. He tries so hard .alas we knoweth not the deep knowledge he clutches.

Life @ NUST: 19 - Study burden at its Peak

Two or three weeks remaining to the finals and here I am sitting on my laptop with little or no knowledge about how to get a score in it. I have three projects at hand and I don't know a thing about them too...

Study burden has rose to a threatening degree and I am really finding it hard to cope with it. I have got a programming project; I have to recreate "The Sims" in a text based environment. I have got four members with me but God knows the truth...I have been trying to split the work but I can't. So I did all the work I could have splitted among my group members (at least the most of it) by myself.

Its usually around 10:30 on a Sunday night when the remorse hits you.
Two and a half days and you could have covered so much,prepared all the quizzes,finished all the assignments.....slayed all the dragons,conquered Narnia,met Aslan (*s).

But you didn't.
The worst part is,I don't even remember where I wasted all that time .

Life @ NUST: 18 - Group making for Labs

Well this is certainly quite a lengthy as well as difficult stage. According to me, its like a friendship challenge; makes you think who you are more attached to. And finally you choose friends who are more attached to you.

Life @ NUST: 17 - Sufferings in Friendship

Not long ago, I vowed to make my Uni a great place for everyone. Everyone has his own problems so why shouldn't there be a place for them where they can forget all the worries. For that, I had to be friends with all. I had to keep their secrets a secret. I had to be happy with them.I had to care and respect all. I had to help them all.

God knows better if I have done the right thing or not but in my conscience, I think I have always done the right thing in keeping everyone happy. I be with people when they are depressed. I be with people when they need me. I trust my God to award me rather than trusting people. God himself is the Sublime and Almighty. He awards me everytime, but he also takes me into challenges which I have to face until I am given my reward.

Life @ NUST: 16 - 2nd Semester Start Off

I can proudly say that 1st Semester was simply wonderful. I met new people, made new friends and more importantly made trustworthy friends. I studied with passion and not with burden. and the humourous touch; I ate a lot ☺

Life @ NUST: 15 - The End Semester Exams (ESEs)

So finally I met the one thing whole NUST was tensed about, "The End Semester Exams". It really does matter a lot, not only because I've written it in bold letters but the word "Exam" itself has quite much weight attached to it.

Life @ NUST: 14 - The Long Holidays

After the tragic incident of December 16, 2014 (Peshawar Incident), NUST closed its premises at pack up time on 19th and forced the hostel residents (better known as hostelites) to travel back to their homes.

It was indeed a great loss to the nation. Many little lives were lost that day and it became the blackest day in the history of Pakistan. But, little did we know that the threat had just begun.
