Yippee....i was so ecstatic and jubilant at the thought of finishing microprocessor. Phew.. i said to my self at least that's taken care off. By the way my HOD left the semester the same way she started it...with an accident. This time it was more serious and she a collar strapped to he neck(that had become a usual sight) and in addition to it she had this weird support kind of stuff to her back and not too mention that twig(the stick eroded due to the use but she never changed it) of hers which she still use d as a walking stick.Well i was happy about one thing, it was the last time i had seen in our class as a professor. Rumours are that she isn't planning to take class for us even during our 4 year. She feels that our class is unlucky..THANK GOD for that. It came to everyone and especially to people like me who are a little retarded at understanding this high tech geekish stuff.
After my exams, the feeling of getting over with my worst nemesis, microprocessor, hardly sunk into me and when college reopened after 10 days( yeah my college is very stingy when it comes to vacation...sadists!!) that they dropped a bombshell. This time we had to deal with MICROPROCESSOR PRACS. GOD.. how much can one take one of the absolute good for nothing subject.This was just making lives miserable for us. And believe me if u haven't understood the theory well then practicals will be hell too. However it was worse for me..'BLOODY HELL' would be the word that I'll use to describe my feelings. But what could one do...if u wanted the degree one had endure a lot of trauma and pain. That's a real sad part in any engineers life. So we get going along with the motions and our teacher this time would be the assistant HOD and a real mean, spiteful,vicious and obnoxious professor from the communication department. The stories that i heard about her were quite terrifying. She would meddle and tamper with your internals if she didn't like you and was capable of making your life a living hell. I decided to not try any funny tricks on her and decided to be as humble as possible( wen one gets desperate to get done with studies and the degree, he'll do anything).
And so in this amnner we got on with our practicals. For people who dont know what / how we programme in a microprocessor.Its some kind of box with keys that look like somethin stolen froma computer( actually they are ;) ) . The programming has to be done in amchine language ie a stupid language that the computer/microprocessor understands. In laymans langauage once you start coding it kind of looks like numbers all over the place like the stuff from The Matrix..its something similar to that.Well needless to say that i was hopeless at it and after a few classes i didnt know what i was doing. Then suddenly out of no where the teacher announces that we ave our university exasm with in a week. I didnt even realize that time had flown by and 2.5 months were completed. It felt as if i had joined college yesterday possibly as i have been givin my ocular muscles druing class hours. So i had this daunting task of cramming up programs and it never helped. So i went to the exam learning only 4 programs..this is was totally out of luck that i got one of them. I was so thankful to the Almighty that he had heard my prayers. I did that program alone, wrote some gibberish for the next one and left the hall with a big sigh of relief and a sense of freedom from this traumatic subject.
If any of you people who dont like programming and unfortunately come across the subject my only advice is get it out of your way as soon as possible...infact this subject has made me stronegr than before because i know that there's no subject as bad as this..so in way am prepared to handle the rest..
