It's another round of last times. I have no reason to be down, since I am finally going to graduate. Yes, you heard it first right here folks, the woman who did not know when or if she would be able to complete the mountain of courses ahead of her has finally managed to do it. Two more this summer and I am an official BS(CS) graduate! That keeping in mind that I still have to clear the comprehensive examination. You're only allowed to take it thrice and the first time I took it, I knew very little, having not taken most of the subjects involved. The second time, recklessly, I took it with a little preparation, but this time (the last time) I shall going all the way. At least I hope so. It would be highly screwed up to hold someone back for not clearing their comprehensive exam when all the other requirements for their degree is complete, but it has happened, to a classmate of mine, in fact. Poor guy remains just an Inter graduate to this day despite having done everything right except clear his comprehensive examination. This whole 3-strikes-and-you're-out deal strikes me as ridiculous. What do you care how many times someone attempts the paper, just as long as he clears it in the end, right? I will never understand the random and senseless rules of educational institutes.

Anyhow, pointless randomness aside, I worry about this city. One of these days, mass panic will break out and we will all kill each other, just like that incident where a horde of women started panicking when someone up front fell down and screamed and in the resulting pandemonium, thirty women were trampled to death. As it turned out, there was nothing to stampede about in the first place. Sad, senseless, pointless deaths. When will they stop?
