I started to hate Microprocessors and System Software subjects more and more. These subjects&#8217; syllabi were very poorly framed and the teachers couldn&#8217;t get any worse. Even Java which I had blown off with ease previously started to create demons in my mind with a lot of stuff to cram. I hate cramming the most and I can never do it.<\/p>\n<p>As a result I got poor marks in the third internal test. Semester exams were done and dusted in a whiff. This time I felt I didn&#8217;t do even a single subject excellently. Practical exams were a mixed bag. System Software and Operating Systems lab was too easy. Contrastingly, I couldn&#8217;t get proper output for both the programs I was given in Microprocessor lab. Though it seems unacceptable, I fully blame the MASM software for screwing me up though my programs were perfect both in logic and in being error-free. Failure loomed large and even the exam supervisors didn&#8217;t react too encouragingly. Logic tells me that I should easily pass given that I had done everything perfectly other than getting the correct output, but my emotions were keeping me tense and I feared the worst. I feared that it would be a big blot on my academic record and that it wud affect and haunt me forever. With results due on May 16, I&#8217;m keeping my fingers crossed! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third internal test went off in a hurry.
