The duel with labs

Being engineering students, labs are supposed to be of great importance to us. But, that has never been my case. I have always struggled with labs. After completing my course, I would say that I have acquired a b tech certificate rather than telling that I've become an engineer. I would definitely be a 'so called engineer' who doesn't know much about electronics. A few of my friends also fall into the same category.

Whenever a lab exam approaches, we run around and try to familiarize ourselves with the experiments, and somehow score pass marks. This time also, the story wasn't different. Our DSP lab was to be conducted on 17th. So, on 16th, we decided to try our best to get through. We had to install matlab, the software using which all the experiments are performed, somewhere. None of us usually waste the space in computers installing such things. No one had the set up also. At last, we decided to go to Bond's room, install matlab and start studying. There were six of us. Me, Bond, gunda, kallu, Nibin and Pradeep. Bond also didn't want to waste the space but just for one day he could adjust. Normally, he wouldn't install anything other than the essential soft wares and games, not even anti virus.

We copied the set up from Manish and started to install it. But the damn thing was not getting installed. We tried again and again, but no use. At last, we arrived at one conclusion. Bond's computer has seen hardly any of such softwares. It's familiar with only those games with high graphics requirements. May be the computer got confused, and thought that this is a virus or something.

We sat there till evening, shared jokes, had great laughs, as if there was no exam on the next day. In the evening, me and Nibin left for the hostel. On the way I was thinking " May be I'll have to pay for this tomorrow. A lab suppli doesn't seem that great, that too in s7". But luckily for us, lab got postponed to 24th. Now, we have to wrestle with matlab again... Desp!!
