uh..new sem .. is it?

Well, if you simply think, yes it is a new semester. But have you ever wondered, why do we call a semester - a new semester ? I mean, what’s new in it? (we again have to study after all ! ) . Of course the subjects are different, we work under different professors, but aren't we experiencing this change every time we get into a so called “new semester”? then what’s new in it?

What actually makes us feel that it’s a new semester is our own feeling. The way we feel at the beginning of each semester, the new enthusiasm, the new motivation, the hope to do better, and the freshness we have!

I bet, every time you go home after a sem ends you make plans for the coming sem. Take for example my friend Uday. He had planned (at the end of 2nd sem) three things he will definitely do the next sem (3rd sem).

1. A beautiful morning jog (daily)
2. Evening - GYM
3. And the most important - to attend all the classes and lectures (which is quite common)

And do you think he did it? Oh! You very well know the answer....no, not even for a single day !
And it’s not the case only with him, it’s very natural, and all of us are a part of this. We all plan certain things for a new semester, but all of us fail, may be in the very beginning or for some, after a little while! but we all do. (and I am not talking about exceptional here).

Coming back to the point about the new feeling, I already expressed that getting new books, new lecturers doesn’t make a sem a new sem, unless and until you feel it from within !

And from the past experiences its quite clear, that planning back home about the new sem, is useless and such a waste of time! So this time, I haven’t. And with it, there is no way that I feel like, I am doing a new semester. It’s the same old crap engineering I am doing.

Any ways....lets welcome this brand new fourth semester :)
