Engineering..Why?,what?,and How?

This post is dedicated to the umpteen number of engineers springing out every microsecond.This may sound like a hyperbole,but it does not stray far from the truth..So i am sketching out,here an ordinary day of an engineering student...(for my convenience,a typical engineering student will be described by the letter X..(I am too lazy to type..i am a typical engineering student).

X's day starts with the alarm clock ringing at 3 in the morning,coz X promised himself the previous day,that he would wake up early to study.So the clock rings at 3,and it is duly switched off.The mobile alarm rings at 3:05(again dutifully switched off)X trusts himself very "deeply",so he puts 5 reminders on the phone,5 mins apart.,and hence X wakes up at 7..cursing the mobile.(X forgets mobiles do not work when switched off!!..).X curses himself for not studying the previous day.X has an external exam at 9:30.So X decides to revise whatever he has studied..but finds that task easy,coz he has studied nothing.So X roams around trying to find something to do,and realizes in a jiffy,that he has a downloaded movie to see.X is happy..
After scrolling through the movie,X remembers that he had made plans for jogging everyday,to maintain his fitness.X looks outside.Realizing that no girls were around,X
drops his plans.X shifts his focus back to the movie.X realizes his folly when he looks at the clock.10 mins for the college bus. Everything is in fast forward for the next ten mins,and miraculously X is ready,stuffing a piece of bread into his mouth,X runs to the bus stop.As luck would have it,X is exactly in time for the bus.Settling comfortably into his seat,X prepares himself for a long argument with the bus conductor.Since X is not prepared to part with his valuable pocket money,and X has not taken a bus card since the first one,he shows that one (yeah..the antique bus card..to be handled delicately,since a small mistake would lead to complete destruction).Another argument ensues,and X promises to buy the new card.(to be noted : he dint specify 'when').The college bus ride is a pretty calm affair.
College time...X is ready,and raring to satisfy his lust for education.X arrives in college,late by 30 mins,but is not thrown out,since the teacher always comes late by 45 mins.The most interesting part of the class begins,a phase where each and every student in the class is attentive,yes the deeply satsifying attendance call.X heaves a huge sigh of relief,after the attendance ,since he is still maintaining the required attendance,and notes the percent down in his spl attendance book..a carefully maintained record to ensure that he has exactly 75%.After the deep sleep..er..i mean the end of a deeply enlightening educational experience,X feels the all so familiar rumble in his tummy.Lunch Time..X rushes down to the canteen ,only to find that all the seats are taken.After a long wait,food is finally served.X is so hungry that he could eat even garbage,so he devours the food in front of him which incidentally is worse than garbage.
To be continued(i gotta sleep now..gotta wake up early tomorrow..!!..3 am)

lemme tell a different story...may be y ( i choose small letter 'y' b coz i dnt wnt to press down shift evry time )
so letz come to the point. y is sleeping...sleeping and sleeping..the time is 9:00 y's mom is coming to y's room ans trying hermaximum to wake him up...( y never tried an alarm)atlast y wakes up slowly goes upstairs brushes his teeth..slowly comes down..y will hav his coffee...y will also take his daily news with his coffee...y will now get ready in 10 mins by now time will be around 9:30 y will start eating his breakfast (he is slow n calm in eatin)his mom is sitting beside him lookin at the clock and watchin him eaatin, but y never looks at clock.after food y walks to the bus stop.y dnt hav a bag bcoz he dnt hav any book to keep in it, y also lost his st card and college id card.so y wont get concession in bus (y dnt even think of school bus, but y hav travelled in it many times once he joined the school[dnt argue,its school])so wht wer we tellin ..the bus...right..so the bus at this time is really nice bcoz all those school girls will be gone and we'll get the college girls filtered out...y enjoys the journey..... y wont get out of da bus wen da bus stops at da stop...instead he jumps out the bus slow down at the next curve...he saves a 100 mts walk by doin this...y wont try for a lift to the college at this time , it may take y to coll lil bit early dan his plan.so y walks slowly to coll and reaches der at 10 o clock. y can now enter directly to class b coz the second hour has nt yet started( y will hav to wait till 10, if y reaches early by lift)
y only becomes confused wen its laboratory in da morning..in dat case y will find that there is no one in class or probably junior batch will be in da class...so y gets a flash and he runs to laboratory....but y cant enter lab one hr late...even if teacher allows y wont enter.so y gets a long 3 hrs to sleep...
y is ready to give company for any one who wants to cut class
if no one asks y y is always ready to ask others for a company
if both of these dnt hpn y will cut the class alone

CLIMAX:
y:dad i need 300 bugs for wrinting exam
dad:i think,u already remitted the exam fee..
y:thats right..but this is special condonation fee dad.
dad:oh i see.. in that case get the money from my purse.
y:thanks dad...
