Where have all the Students gone....?

The past 2 weeks at ISB were full of life. You could find people milling about at any time of the day or night (as much as you can with 500 people on a huge campus). There was always something or the other lined up for us to do, from the orientation games/presentations to the pre-terms preparing us for the 2 hour classes ahead of us. Not to mention the multiple parties, hanging out with people we were meeting for the first time and trying to 'network' with. Life was busy busy busy till the 26th.
All of a sudden, the mood on campus changed, and on Sunday, there was hardly anyone to be seen on campus. I took a stroll and thought everyone was out for a party, till I reached the Atrium that is apparently the only place people find to meet up on campus, especially when they want to study/talk about studying. The atrium was completely full, crowded by masses of study groups, people walking about with books under their arms and zombie-like expressions on their faces. Occasionally you would hear stuff like "Explain this concept again, I need those CP points." :P Everyone seemed to be hard at work trying to get those pre-reads right. You could cut the tension with a knife.

Well, the week came and went. For the non-ISBians, ISB follows a 4day week (Mon-Thu), with the other three days for studying and completing weekend assignments :P And an interesting weeks its turned out to be. It wasnt as worse as some people were afraid it would be. There were new subjects, new concepts, and even a Quiz we all managed to complete.

The weekends here. Study groups are still getting together to complete various assignments, but the faces are less zombified than what they were last weekend. :) We even had a Week1 survival party Yday evening.
As for the coming weeks, not to mention the mid-terms (Already!!!!!!!!!!) the week after this, stay tuned. :)
