I am very sorry that I am being very lazy. To be honest, the reason for this laziness was mainly study. Well, I said mainly because I don?t want to blame my extra-curricular activities \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s discuss exams. Second Semester exams were good. I started my preparation early and by the examination week, I was pretty much confident. So, the exams went very well and I was flying high when the results were announced. No my dear friend. I disagree with your definition of high. I was talking about the feeling of success!<\/p>\n<p>I know it is late but I would like to welcome new ECS students. You have made a very good choice. I am sure you are going to enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p>ECS, as I keep saying, is one of the best places to study electronics and computer science related subjects in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you have had a good time with MSc KickStart programme. I loved it when I participated last year. You get a good know-how about course and the whereabouts of the university and the city in a very short time. I don&#8217;t know if they took you to that ferryboat trip in the end but they took us around the Soton waters last year. Yeah, do ask them again if they didn?t!!!<\/p>\n<p>I came to know about another MSc blogger, Aaron Joseph, and I am very happy that we got a *pure* MSc blogger this year. Well, as per the &#8216;Alamitannica&#8217; MEng, is not MSc. Don&#8217;t worry about this resource. You are not going to find it anywhere!<\/p>\n<p>I am very hopeful that Aaron will regularly share his study experience at ECS.<\/p>\n<p>And yeah, thanks for all those people who like my blogs. Your appreciation forces me to take some time out from my *busy* life to do something useful. I have a wonderful idea of writing about some topics that can be very useful for MSc students. As a matter of fact, the ECS website is full of information and ECS people are very kind to help you out if you ever need it.<\/p>\n<p>However, I feel that MSc students have less time compared to undergraduate and PhDs because courses are intensive. So, I would like to tell you a few things in anticipation which you might encounter while studying. So hang on a few days and I will be back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, I am back!!!! I am very sorry that I am being very lazy.
