exam trouble

I am sitting here, my favourite place near the window in my study, typing frantically but not studying for my 'Power Electronics ' exam. This reminds me of why i took up engineering...not like i had much choice,really! When i was planning to apply for a Journalism course,i met two cousins of mine who gave me some really good advice on earning big bucks very easily if i study engineering. I really got carried away by that and landed in a not-so-famous college located in a not-so-interesting part of chennai. I never like computers, so i chose Electronics instead..i did not know what Instrumentation meant then, but now i think its interesting.And i've become an inspiration for two of my cousins to take up the same course(i just hope i'm not blamed later for this!).

I've always wondered what Power Electronics and Electrical Machines have to do with Electronics and Instrumentation. The best answer i could come up with is,' they are just to make the course tougher and to deprive the students of the joy of passing every exam!'So as i'm destined to do it, i'm going to give up trying to be indifferent and i'm leaving my comp to go and study!!!
