So, having described my little disease and what I did for the cure, I move on to describing the little side effects suffered.
Before I proceed with that, let me tell you what happened at college through the week I bunked -
An intermedics fest was being held at a near by government college and obviously after listening to the excitement and delights of the fests held in the engineering colleges, all of us wanted to go.
Official announcements are never made, just a little notice is put up on the notice board (over all the out-dated notices - oh! it is a huge task searching for the recent ones, despite the correct "notice format" used) and we are expected to find it and act accord our likes. Also, if any permission is to be taken, one must go to all 3 departments for it.
The fest was advertized lavishly, for it was to be funded by the particpants and visitors ( Rs. 300/ head for both). It was tempting, tantalizing and very attractive. Many of us - the very out going ones - collaborated with the seniors and took part in the dance and fashion parade. Like i mentioned before, all of us were interested, but - also like i mentioned before - we lived in the medical college in complete fear of the anatomy department. No one had the guts to go to The HOD and ask for permission, for everyone knew the outcome.
It is strange what I mention next, considering what I just wrote - The following week - the week of my absence, the mini holiday i declared for myself- the whole class ( meaning the students that hadn't run home like me ) , i mean the whole class bunked college! Our batch made history - it was our first mass bunk!
I never got the exact details but I do know that everyone went to the fest, enjoyed themselves throughly and skipped college. People who came online and talked to me, said that I made a mistake by going home, I missed the fest etc etc. But you know what? I am actually happy I went along with my heart's desire and carried out the impulsive decision of going home, for if I had stayed there any longer, I swear I would've gone crazy knowing I could've gone home during the mass bunk.
So basically, that week everyone got their well deserved break.
Now, coming to the aftermath- the anatomy department was furious. They suspended classes till the 28th of jan ( of course later we found out that it was more for their own benifit and convenience - the seniors were having their supplimentary exams on the 27th and 28th) after which it was declared that practicles for Abdomin & Pelvis were canceled. It was appauling, astonishing and completely out-rageous that we had to suffer the (supposedly) same fate as our seniors! But I had returned to college completely prepared for such a welcome. Other than having our classes canceled, ( you think we'd fear the department if they gave us such small punishments? ) we were ordered to complete all our Abdomin & Pelvis diagrams ( we maintain a record of all the parts dissected) in one nights time. How many were there you ask? lets see... 10, 11, 12... about 30 diagrams!!
Looking back, I already laugh about it. It was a funny and memorable experience. It was tiring and of course I cribbed a lot, just like everyone else, but then if the atrocious actions, mentioned above, were never taken, you wouldn't have got to read this post. :P
