So this is my second blog after such a long time that i don't even remember. Anyway I have realized that if I want to become a journalist, then I better get serious with my blogs as well. Now the topic that I chose now is pretty obvious for all the people who know me... My first week EVER in my dream destination SIMC :D. Well let me be frank with you. I have joined pretty late as I had some last minute emergencies. And then being a late comer, I was quite scared that Id be the odd one out with everybody forming groups already. But little did i know that SIMC was planning on a whole week of bonding exercises. And this has become one of the greatest opportunities to meet some wonderful people and mingle with them. Basically, being the youngest child in my house, i am used to a lot of pampering. People back in Hyderabad (Hyderabad is my home city) thought Id bounce back in a week with home sickness. But i don't know if something is horribly wrong with me but i never missed my home till now. I think i have a pretty good explanation for that as well. Getting into SIMC has always been my prime motive. And lets say from the past two years, I have been dreaming about this college. You know when people say they wait for ages for something to happen, and when it finally happens.... its not as good as they thought it would be? Well, SIMC is exactly the opposite. After 4 years of struggling and trying to be something else and constant failure and dissatisfaction, SIMC experience so far is way too refreshing. The early morning breeze, the hill, the campus... It is like living a dream. It has given me great opportunities to fulfill my other desires like swimming, photography etc. Before you come to a conclusion that I am the "official promoter"of SIMC ;) , I would like to add that I am quite overwhelmed with whatever is going on in my life right now like unconventional teaching methods followed by them and also getting to see some of the real journalists here.
Well now I'm going to concentrate on the negative points as well because many of you may have already come to a conclusion that I am way too optimistic about everything in SIMC but then I have a few a few minor points as well... like food in the mess.. I don't say its CRAP... but then... its definitely make you crave for moms food. All i can say is its edible and if you are not a foodie.. you don't have anything to complain. But that's not the case always though. Sometimes the food is really good. The second thing that is the the distance that we have to walk. I mean i have nothing against walking... in fact I love walking... but it gets really annoying when you are late for your lecture. That's all I have about the campus.
Now in my final note.. I would suggest you to grab EVERY opportunity you get to stay away from your family. This is because you are coming out of your very own comfort zone and try to achieve something. This is the best opportunity to explore yourself and also to learn a lot about life. In the very first week.. I would say that i have learnt to wash my clothes, keep my room clean, wake up on time and and to keep myself organized. This is all so thrilling as this is my first experience to me.
That's all folks.... Thanks a bunch for reading this.. This means so much to me! :) Do give your feedback here!! https://www.facebook.com/sameera.jonnalagadda
