Assignments- Then n Now

Assignments.. the dreaded word to all the 'human beings' studying in my coll.. During our first year we were loaded with them.. they came in all sorts of names and sizes.. physics, maths, chemistry, devices, circuits.. ranging from a mere 4 pages to a brain cramming 30 pages.. and the worst part was we had to WRITE them! using multicolored pens!!!

We braved our first round of assignments by proudly writing it ourselves..no copying, believe me! though it was time consuming and very frustrating... and when the second came, like everyone else, i deleted honesty from the list of a thousand words i remember for my everyday use. A honest and sincere hostellar would complete the assignment and then.. it would be a mad stampede to that tiny xerox shop under the stairs in my coll. we copied. Blindly. Almost every single assignment through our first year.

Life's become a little cozy, now that I'm in my second year. They said we could take printouts for assignments. The Heavens finally showed us a ray of hope.. An assignment that took an entire day to complete takes only a couple of hours now! i just completed my EVS assignment on AIDS, Women and Child welfare etc. Started at 11am , the printout is ready in my hands by 12.30pm :D

Kudos to the human mind and the technology it invented! :)
