Diary 143: Continuous Study frustration Day

Yesterday I couldn't sleep at all. Although I closed my eyes at 3:30, I slept around 5:45 am. Anyways, I woke up at around 11:50 pm. I brushed my teeth, went online, and had my breakfast. Then, as usual, I started studying. I ditched office today too. There was no work and hence no point in wasting time in travel and in random browsing at office. I continued my studies till the lunch time. My sister arrived then, and we had lunch at around 3:00 pm. I watched the TV for a while, and reverted back to studies. She reminded me of the challenge to finish DI within 20th. It seems impossible, but I will try my best to complete as much as possible. My studies went on till around 4 pm, when I decided to multi-task between cricket and studies. Champions League T20 qualifiers were on the way, and hence I started watching them. First match was useless (Trinidad and Tobago v/s Ruhunu). At around 6:30 pm, I was completely frustrated with DI, and asked my mom to make me some Tea. After some rest, I felt good, and started studying again. The next match was the one I was waiting for - KKR v/s Auckland Aces. The first part of the match was horrible. KKR managed to get only 121 in their 20 overs. After that, I left for Gym. Today was workout day, and I performed all the exercises judiciously. I returned at around 10:40 pm, and the match was still on. The match was balanced, and KKR made a remarkable come back in the end. Finally, KKR won the match by just 2 runs. Bret Lee saved the day. After that, I took bath, and had my post workout dinner. My sister was also studying with me till 12, but then she went to sleep. Next, I reviewed Alok's SOP for a while before writing this post. Next, I plan to study till 3:00 am, and then sleep.

Diary 142: Intense Logical Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:15 am.Today I woke up at around 11:50 pm. I brushed my teeth, and then went online to check my mails and all. I realized that the overall DI course is too big and that the challenge of completing it within 21st is under a threat. So, I started studying Reasoning. Well, I was totally caught in the cob web of the logical world. Every seemed an If statement, premises, predicate, subject and what not. The chapters had 14-15 exercises, and I started solving those. Some topics were really important and so it took a bit of time to get used to those. In between I had my lunch at around 3:00 pm. After that, I continued my journey through logical path. The A4 sheets were filled with venn diagrams of all kind. This went on till late afternoon. I had my Tea then and reverted back to studies. At around 8:40 pm, I had my pre work out dinner. After some more solving, I left for the gym at around 9:40 pm. Today was cardio day, but I was feeling a bit low on energy, don't know why. Anyways, I completed my quota of exercises and returned home. I had bath, and then ate my post work out dinner. Then, I jumped back to studies again. Till now, I have completed only 4 chapters out of the 16 in the reasoning book, but I plan to keep on doing it. I wrote this post then, and next I plan to study and then sleep by 3:30 am.

Diary 141: Study and Frustration Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am. I had an objective to complete a lot of exercises in DS today, so I quickly brushed my teeth, had my breakfast and started studying. I didn't go online yet. I kept on studying till 1:30 pm, and then went online. I realized that the developer has sent a new design for the internal page. I approved it and asked a few other doubts, which were cleared later. Today I was very frustrated with the non responsiveness of both Akshay and Dallas. So, I sent a mail with the designs again, but got no reply at all. I am kind of frustrated by this now. Then, my sister returned from school, and I had my lunch at around 2:50 pm. Also, today Dad finally found my sister's birth certificate somehow. We had the notion that it was never given to us by the hospital. After that, I reverted back to studies and continued the same till the late evening. In between, I took a break by listening to songs on YouTube and all. My mom and dad left for the police verification of Passport. I had a discussion about the names with Alok again. I suggested few and he liked only one of them. Anyways, after that I continued studying till 9:00 pm, and then had my pre work out dinner. Then I left for gym at around 9:30 pm. Today was workout day. I was kind of tired today after the workout, but I didn't miss the mark in any exercise except for the second set of leg raises. That is anyways a very tough one to sustain. I returned home, took a bath, and watched the TV for a while. Then I reverted to studies, and completed one of the exercises. There are 4 exercises of DS left, but I don't think I will handle all of them. I will return to DS after revisiting some concepts of Reasoning and Logical ability. I wrote this post then, and now I plan to study more and sleep by 3:30 am. 

Diary 140: Last ODI for Rahul Dravid Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:00 am. Today, I woke up at around 10:30 am. I brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast, and went online. No work again, and so I started studying. But before that, I opened up my mind by playing a bit of solitaire. Although, I didn't play that well, I was now awake. Then, I studied till the lunch time. My sister asked me doubts in English and I somehow managed to handle those. I even got confirmations from Alok. Then, I had my lunch at around 2:45 pm. I ate baingaan bharta after a long time, and it felt good. It was a less oily version but still, I loved it. Then I moved on lazily with the studies. I was facing problems with Data sufficiency questions. Some were really tricky. There are 14 Exercises to be done, and I just started the 6th one. Meanwhile, I got a call from Vaibhav, who said that he is not that happy with the internal page design of the website. So, I gave him the liberty of that and he started working on a new design. Later, I continued with the studies till late evening. I dropped off my mom at someone's house as she had a meeting regarding Durga Puja. At around 8:20 pm, I went out to pick up my mom from that house, and also brought some paani puris as requested by my sister. I just ate 2 of them and had my pre work out dinner. Then, I realized that there is a match going on, and that it was the last ODI match for Rahul Dravid. Anyways, India made an impressive 304/6 in their 50 overs, but the rain gods interfered again and killed the show. The match is still going on, so the final result is still on the way. Meanwhile, I went to gym for the cardio day, and came back at around 10:45 pm. I ate my post work out dinner and started watching the match. I started multi tasking between match and studies. Later, the rain interrupted again, and I moved to my room to write this post. Next, I plan to watch the match again, and study too. I plan to sleep by 4:00 am.

Diary 139: Study Day

Yesterday I slept at around 3:30 am. Today I woke up at around 11:00 am with a call from Dad. He asked me to send him some document from the other laptop, so I got up and tried starting that laptop. Somehow, I managed to copy the file to a pen drive and then send it to dad's e-mail address. Then, I brushed my teeth, had my usual breakfast, and started studying. I continued studying till the lunch time. I had my lunch at around 2:30 pm. After that, I took a break from studies and played Solitaire. Later, I studied till 7:30 pm. Then, I had a discussion with Alok regarding the name of the website and he also gave me some tips with the approach and all. I noted them down in my mind. Also, I suggested few changes to the internal page design which were sent by Savita, the developer. It seems like a copy of the existing sites, so I was not that impressed. At around 8:30, I started watching KBC, then had my pre work out dinner, which was now a bowl of Daliya. After that, I left for Gym at 9:30 pm. Today was workout day. So, after a small warm up of 5 minutes or so, I jumped on to the workout. Well, it took a nice toll of my body, and I was exhausted at the end. I returned home, took a bath, and had my post workout dinner i.e. sprouted salad. Then, I started writing this post. Next, I plan to continue with DI. I will try my best to finish the basic DI tonight. I plan to sleep by 3:30 am.
