Long time, no see.

Hello, its me Shivani. It's been evidently so long that I got time to visit the place, this when there was a time I couldn't log out of the site.




Years ago when someone told me that academically persuing masters would be toughest I had brushed that off saying nothing can up the presssure of 12th standard and the bloody boards. It's only now that I see how terribly wrong I was.  I rarely have time for anything. Even logging on to my browser seems like a task.




I wanted to know how many masters students are here and how do you divide your time to spare for activity you genuinely love.

My routine literally consists of dragging myself to college before 9:30 after which entry is permitted only with a penalty which could be fine or a detention of 2 hours after college hours. (!) Then stay awake and study until 3:10. Get back home. Work out. Sleep and then be a night owl and study again for both the degree and competitive exams.




I.AM.DYING!

I don't particularly like you at the moment. How is it that you are enjoying while I am dying of my routine.

I'm sorry. It's not easy to achieve something big.... I also have no sleep at night...only 4-9 am.

Do not despair... I studied masters in finance outside my country and full time, with classes from Monday to Saturday, sometimes some Sunday mornings, for a year and a half and I did not die trying.
The best way to perform multiple tasks and that are very demanding, is to know how to organize oneself... I still remember a huge sheet of cardboard that covered the wall of my room, with the schedules of the courses... I used to have lunch sometimes sitting on the stairs of the business school, waiting for classes to begin, then running out to another classroom to receive another course... It was a time of great turmoil, few hours of sleep and red eyes from so much reading and write reports.
Organization is the key word to not go crazy, and also a little patience and good humor.
Never a steep mountain climbs in a straight line, you have to ascend the mountain in a zigzag and horizontally, so that takes a lot time, but it is less tiring... When I felt tired, I simply lit a cigarette on the terrace of the dormitory building and breathed the fresh air coming from the sea, a few minutes of total relaxation.
It's funny, because I studied the master's degree thinking that I would work in finance, but in the end, I never exercised that function professionally, instead, it did help me to start my own business... And in that sense, all the efforts were worth it...

Maybe very few guys are lucky as me. Reading on Literature. the main job is only reading books. no courses. it gives a lil earning.. but enough for a writer.
