Vimal can't hack WHAT?

I’m looking at a mountain of text in front of me: Roger Pressman’s “Software Engineering: A practitioner’s approach”. Yes, the seminal work in the field of Software Engineering. or so they say. Now the reason this feels like a mountain of text is because I have an Engineering paper by the same name in less than 14 hours from now. And i’m no practitioner whatchacallit.

I wonder if ‘brain freeze’ happens to everyone or is it just lazy nerds like me. In other circumstances(namely, in the pursuit of trivial knowledge), I would have picked up the book from a store, paid cash, just to check it out. But, when, it becomes part of my academic curriculum, I feel like puking all over it. I really need to see a shrink/therapist about this. Is this some kind of unconscious rebellion against enforced learning… I really love to learn new things; except when someone tells me I HAVE TO. Thats when the whole thing becomes an exercise in trying to read a single paragraph without being distracted.

“Excuses! Excuses!” (as a wise man once told me on IRC)

This is going to be one long night.

Signing off… with some nerdy stats.
