Skyward Fire

Procrastination is a massive monster that will always eat up productivity in college life. My first semester was a disaster academia-wise, and I had promised myself that my second semester will be better. But my first cycle test series in the second semester ended up being disastrous like the first three cycle tests and finals in the first semester of the course. History repeats itself, and as a clear example, I delayed my assignments, I delayed class-work, I avoided attending classes, and everything else I shouldn’t have done, I did.

I was delusional all this while. At no point of time did I ever positively realize how important college life really is, or that these are the most important years of anyone’s lives. I want to be a game developer eventually, and I’ve wanted to make a career in video-games since junior high, but I haven’t exactly done much about the same. This is a field that has tremendous competition and one needs to be completely active doing something or the other to build up an impressive resume. As far as the Indian syllabus for Computer Science Engineering goes, there isn’t much hope for those who want to make a career in making videogames. There has to be a 110% effort from the enthusiast itself. I’ll personally be getting serious about the same once my first year in college ends properly.

Right now, the only focus has to be clearing all the subjects in the first semester, because I don’t want to waste time fighting summer exams any more. Honestly, there isn’t a plan for that in my mind right now. With too many things going on in college, I’ve hardly had time to concentrate on my studies. And there can’t be any delaying in the same. I have to cut down on my TV consumption, I must waste less time on the computer watching shit-listed movies and going over to Facebook. What’s even shameful is the fact that I know what is to be done, but I still don’t do it. For now, I have one aim in mind. I need to clear all the first year subjects and apply for a transfer to any Indian campus of BIT. Rest all can wait until that happens. Even if it doesn’t happen this particular year, I’ll go for it again in the next semester, or at the end of second year.

I’ve been wasting time, and sleeping way too much for my own good. I’m so lazy to even get some caffeine into my system. And the UAE weather doesn’t help much either. I absolutely loathe summer and the heat, and that bugs me like crazy.
