36 days to go...

Class was eventful today. It was my last class, and I was also presenting on one of my favorite topics: Small is the new big.

It was a strange feeling. I would probably never sitting in a classroom ever again. I would never go through these fun moments, sad moments, sleepy moments, enlightening moments, and embarrassing moments. A class has been my life for the past 18 years. I will now be stepping out to the real world, a world where there are no second chances, a world where there is no one to guide you if you are lost, and a world where life is measured by money and power, not knowledge and friendship.

This day, I would like to thank every teacher who ever taught me, for every bit of learning they gave me, for every exam they passed me, and every quiz they failed me.

Ever the classy orator, just towards the end of class, Prof. Neerja Pandey says, "I was walking in to class after the break, and a fellow professor asked me how I am so excited and so energetic when I am going into class. I told him to come into class and sit with me, and he would know why it is so exciting to teach this class. Everytime I see all of you, I get assured that the future of the country is in safe hands."

Thank you ma'am. I hope we don't let you down.
