So this week marked the start of academics and it has been remarkably dull this time around. Except for a class in Macro II (more on that later), all others were drag. Ridiculously pathetic climatic conditions along with unfavorable class timings (they start at 8 am everyday) only aggravate my frustration on the academic front.
Sleeping in the shadow of legends
The week also marked the advent of a new fad in my wing - decking up rooms. And I count myself among the pioneers of the movement. I and my room-mates had attempted a similar thing in our freshie year room but the posters faded to oblivion for next two years. Until I pulled them out again this year while making my room habitable. So did another wingie of mine. And now everyone's in process of ordering/printing posters. I have moved a step further and also inculcated a 2.1 stereo system into my room decor. Needless to say, the extra colors and beats are definitely welcome.
Study-table under the watchful eyes of Einstein
Coming back to the Macro II lecture I was talking about earlier. So it happened to be the sole interesting lecture of the week. It began on a very unconventional note. We were shown three sets of art-works from three different eras. We inferred key points common across all the works of first set and their subsequent transition over the other two sets. And it was not very difficult then to draw parallels between the the three artistic eras and economic schools of thought. The class did partially light up an interest in art. Maybe I would even consider taking up an art course next semester. After all, I have no freakin' idea about art and related fields and still I did reasonably well in analyzing those paintings.
That's all for this week. Catch up again next Sunday!
