The perfectly average day-part 1

As always,the average day of the average 'iitian' begins with the alarm....or in my case,my roomie
...we have a class at 8 as usual....and i rub my eyes and get up at 7:45....the room is empty....an ominous sign in itself.....i frantically search for my note book....
to my relief,i finally found it under my roomie's bed....must have tried to run off on me
7.55....frantically i search through the book,trying to get to that magic page....where i have my attendance record.....today it seems peace....i have 3 more attendance left....
ignoring the sounds of the 'muggu' junta trying to get to class on time,i turn to my comp and logon....to my utter delight, i don't seem to be alone in this pastime of bunking that many of my friends and iitm profs equally fail to understand......some one has challenged me to a game of aoe(to the low funda junta--it is age of empires)....so i start.....working harder than ever before....building mills,farms and what not....for the next two hours....by that time, my roomie comes back with his book full of notes and brain full of useless crap....he spares me a look of pity(which i try to ignore) and asks me why i didn't go to class....wow,is that even a question????even if it is,it has been asked thousands of times before....we are anyway not here for mugging right!!!

It's 10 and time for the most dreaded class of all(guess which)....all my happiness vanish into thin air as i realise I'm late....I jump on to my cycle and start pedaling...only to realise that there is no air in the tires....but there is no turning back now....i get to class only 15 minutes late....the prof is teaching Chinese....there are too many drawings on the board.....i sneak through the back door and sit on the last bench....its time to make up for the lost sleep waking up only for the attendance sheet....
