The "yes man" inside me

When i talk about "yes man", i am not talking about the movie "Yes man" starred by  Jim Carrey. In this blog it has a different meaning.

life in final year B.E.

life is becoming more tough and competitive these days.Getting a job is what many people aim for after entering final year.But for me it is different, i mean to say it all sounds different. I am confused to the core about what i should do in the future.For time's sake i am attending "placement training classes" conducted by T.I.M.E. in my college.It puts me into such a high mental pressure that i feel like preparing for another IIT-JEE exams. I really never felt that it demands such a huge amount of talent to enter into the corporate world. As a software engineer we need to write programs, think about codes and should have a highly developed logical thinking skill.Won't it be enough if those companies who are coming for placement check these skills? Why should they test our vocabulary? I accept that freshers seeking job in a reputed MNC should have good inter-personal skills and good body language. But why should they keep these aptitude exams as tuff as an engineering entrance exam with so many restrictions and at times with negative marking also?
anyway i have decided to prepare for these exams as i am determined to get into the corporate world.Now here comes the problem, my parents actually want me to do my post-graduation.But as far as i know in IT field only experience is valued more than qualification.So i am very keen in gettting a job.
It took a whole year for me to get adjusted to the new environment and to make some good friends in this college.I often feel that keeping mum and silence is the best way to earn a good name in any situation.Here people around me say that i am a very good girl as i am not poking my nose into other's matters and i do my job perfectly. One guy in my class even called me as "Miss.Perfect". :) I felt very happy.he he
I learnt a lot of things in the Symposium. I insisted my friend to participate in the quiz and we (me and my friend--a team of two) got selected in the preliminary round.We entered the final round with much applause and encouragement from our friends. But again due to my procrastination, i selected the wrong topic which i do not know fully.There we lost the marks.Finally we ended up getting the third place (actually a participation certificate was given to us).
PROCRASTINATION IS A CRIME.IT IS A SIN.FOR ME IT IS THE REASON FOR LOOSING IN THE QUIZ
The next week we went to kerala for industrial visit.We went to ISRO near the trivandrum airport at Velli.The journey was very tiresome.We slept in the bus for two nights and skipped breakfast on the day when we visited the site.Later we went to Trivandrum beach and also to Kovalam beach. The sand in the beach was black in color unlike Trivandrum beach.My friends got themselves soaked fully in the beach waters, they took bath later.But i was very afraid to get near the waters as someone said it will produce allergic reactions to somepeople's skin.
We were given time to shop in Trivandrum for an hour in which we were forced to have our dinner also.I bought a nice kurtha for myself.I did not buy anything for my family.My friends bought many things for their parents and siblings.They had lot of money.:(
The trip to kerala was nice.
