I have had the privilage of going through most of my life without putting in any real hard work. I mean maybe I studied a little hard in pre-school or something but since then, I've mastered the art of mugging up thousands of pages in one night and writing a good paper the next day and getting rather decent marks. Its worked prefectly for me! A little help from my good memory and my ability to stay up night have gone a long way.
 
Then ever since I entered college where we have more independance and can bunk lectures.. I have spent most of my morning lectures the last three years sleeping in my bed at home.. dreaming away!
 
I thought I had found my philosopher's stone.. my trick of going theough atleast my whole student life without any hard work.. and I almost did.. except one twist in the plot.
 
At the start of our final semester project, we picked chits to decide which student goes under which professor/guide.. and right at that moment.. my luck went to take a walk in the park! I got picked under Mr Hitler!
 
While the rest of my class has spent the last two months sitting at home. enjoying their lives.. just doing mostly google based research, Mr Hitler has ensured that I have reached college every morning by 9.. stayed there till 6 every evening.. and worked my freakin ass off!!
 
This man has no life of his own I think. outside of the computer lab.. and is trying his best to make me follow in his footsteps!
 
At first I tried to reason with him.. told him that its impossible to reach college every day by 9 because I cant wake up that early! He tells me he gets up at 5. Conversation over.
 
Damn it, I'm being made to work.. really work.. and he's stil not satisfied.. I've never seen the guy smile! I'm being made to study a lot of math.. which I hate.. and then code it into programs in C.. which I dont love either.. and read up lots of research papers written by old farts.. and the worst part is, I dont even get Saturdays off!! Just four more months.. I think by the time I'm done, I'll probably be dead.. or I would have gotten into the habit of working hard which is worse than dying!
 
WTF!
 
Hard work.. bitch!

    LOL!
    i like this post very much, dear friend.
    let me hazard a guess about your guide's full name...mr karma c. hitler? lol
    just tell me if you need any help with coding in C.
    (although i don't like C that much either, and would have wanted to hone my skills in C++)
    in any case, i'll have a ready answer for you:
    "get on with the hard work... bitch!"..  ;-p
    ah, but it will just be four months, ddame.
    just 4 short months.
    after that, you can fully enjoy the good C's... ;-p

  • queenparanoia said on Mar 23, 2009....
    well that's real life. at least he's preparing you for it. although i feel bad for you for not getting Saturday off... well just work hard and you can do it!!! ;-)
  • diabolicdame said on Mar 23, 2009....
    Hey moonie my friend! Yeah its karma alright.. lol.. karma biting me in the ass! I'll remember your answer next time I'm stuck.. lol.. it's quite motivating you know!
    Its a shame I couldnt carry out my plan of no hard for the rest of my life.. I guess I cant escape these C's.. lol.. atleast this one C I will have to master!
    Yep 4 months.. thats what I keep tellin myself.. although I must say it feels good when a code runs successfuly.. as rare as it is! lol.. thanks!  :-)

    Hiya queenie! Whenever I tell people my sad story, the bit they sypathise most with is the saturdays! lol.. yeah it sucks to be working weekends. I'm trying real hard to see that silver lining.. I hope this does help me somewhere in my life.. atleast then my sacrifised saturdays would be worth something! Thanks!  :-)
  • scipio said on Mar 23, 2009....
    May be you pushed your luck too far..
     
    In another four months you will be free - so just hang  on there babe...
     
    someday you will tell your children about this...
  • diabolicdame said on Mar 23, 2009....
    Hey scipio.. yeah I thought my luck was more stretchable than this! Obviously I was wrong. Free after four months? I hope! I had told myself that at the start of the project since there were to be no more exams.. I even wrote a post here titled 'I'm freee'.. but as you can I'm not at all free! lol.. I hope you're right this time! Thanks!  :-)
  • fragglesrock said on Mar 23, 2009....
    ouch dd! dang, just think about it this way, in addition to making up for past non-hardworking karma you may also be paying yourself forward with a little good karma :) 
  • diabolicdame said on Mar 23, 2009....
    frags, thats absolutely brilliant! THANK YOU!! I've been trying to spot a silver lining but simply couldnt.. now that is a good one! You rock you know!  :-D
  • cuppajava said on Mar 23, 2009....
    HI Dbabe - i was wondering what happened to you - i am sorry that you are having a rough time of things,but hard work pays off in the end,you know
  • cntlvmenuf said on Mar 23, 2009....
    Look at it this way....once you survive Mr. Hitler, nothing in life will EVER and I mean EVER phase you. Its the times that we are stretched most in life that we learn what we are made of. Ya, waking up before the rooster crows may never be your thing....but now you know you can do it.

    So whenever you ever feel tempted to think that you can't do anything in life just coz you don't like it or have never dunnit, remember Mr. Hitler, and the 4+ months of hell...and unleash your inner bitch!
  • diabolicdame said on Mar 23, 2009....
    Hey cj! Yeah it better pay off in the end.. lol.. after all this for 6 months if I dont get massive marks I will kill somebody!!  :-D
     
    Hi cntlvmenuf.. and thank you for that brilliant ray of hope! Yes you're right and I didnt even think about that before.. from now on whenever I'm in a tough place, I can just say 'I handled hitler.. whats this compared to that!'.. yes thats good.. and yeah I'm this hell-ish project for 6 months total.. I've been through almost 3 now.. so I think I actually might survive it!!
     I love your positive approach.. everytime peopel said 'this is good for you', I never knew how.. but your explanaiton makes a lot of sense!!  Thanks!  :-)

    Which college are u in Mumbai ? Are you in one of those vernac colleges or city ones? Some of the profs in the vernacs are real pain in the behind.  Anyway Good luck  and grin  and bear it.

  • diabolicdame said on Mar 24, 2009....
    No I'm not in one of the vernac colleges.. lol.. I'm jsut unfortunate enough to be under a really serious giude! lol.. so I'm assuming you're from around here too? I thought as much earlier too you know..  :-)
  • scipio said on Mar 25, 2009....

    Good guess.

  • mOOn_platOOn said on May 05, 2009....

    O

    I am glad that you met your professor. One day you will appreciate the fact that he pulled you kicking and screaming into adulthood.

  • diabolicdame said on May 05, 2009....
    moon_platoon: I already am appreciating it. I have great respect for the guy! I'd just really like to sleep in on Saturdays.. lol.. its alright though.. I'm quite used to it now.. I'll miss the feeling of not getting enough sleep when I finish the project I think.  :-)
  • mOOn_platOOn said on May 05, 2009....

    O

    Oh yeah....sleep.....I remember sleep.....
