Yup! The title says it all. With mid-semester exams peeking right around the corner, everyone is in a tizzy to get their hands on study material, be it the notes of a wannabe bookworm with bad handwriting, who makes it a point to attend every class (AKA me) or a copy of the much needed textbook that was circulated god knows when, which only a lucky few have.
The missing notes + the harsh cold weather seems to be a recipe for sure disaster, since all anyone would want to do is wrap a thick blanket around themselves and go to sleep, leave everything else for a later date. But, oopsie! being in the final semester of an undergraduate program seems to have it's own set of rules and regulations. No more can you do a borrow and photocopy routine, since NO ONE is ready to part with their study material, since they have already had a taste of utter betrayal, when the notes had not been returned on time or were left to fume in hatred against the borrower , who had 'lost' their notes.
Seriously Folks! I have been the notes provider for my class on many occasions and once you start, you can never stop since you get requests left, right and centre for pictures of your notes, or requests to borrow your notes or study material for photocopy purposes. In the beginning, you'll feel all good inside, but trust me, as time goes by you'll get fed up with the nonsense people who don't attend class say, just in order to get notes. 'Hey, I wasn't well, I was down with a fever!' (Yeah right! I know what happened to your scooty at Nandi hills!)
All I can say is BUCK UP already. Enough of feeding off the work of others. If you tell me so nonchalantly to get a life, I'd say practise what you preach why dontcha? There is a limit to leeching and maybe you are overstepping many boundaries BIG TIME!
So, ALL THE BEST EVERYONE! Start preparing now and you won't repent for the time you'd have lost lolly-gagging around.................. Yours truly, Meghs! ;)
