Project story

Now, this is a story that needs to be told. Our project presentation took place on Tuesday the 25th of April. Here is the leadup to that major event in our lives(or so we say):

Friday, April 21

Today is the day we are supposed to get the project report ready and send it for printing. And guess what, we decide to proofread, and this takes up most of the day. To top it off, I have to rewrite our rather messy trial code. So, it's another late night. Anyhow, at the end of the day, the report is ready without any errors (or so we think) and so is the code.

Saturday, April 22

Today is a relatively slow day. Just a little bit of our project presentation is done. Oh, the big news, apparently despite all our proofreading, where we found even misplaced commas, we missed out the fact that there was an error in our project name on the cover page. Brilliant!!

Sunday, April 23

Rest day. Much needed.

Monday, April 24

One of those extremely long days that come along uninvited. We has to finish the presentation, and all of a sudden, our project stops working. Not good.

It takes me till about 10:30 pm to figure out the problem, which is basically due to an error in some pointers. Also there is our presentation to be completed, along with the CD containing our code, documentation etc. Fortunately, all ofthis is completed albeit at 11:30 pm, which breaks my previous record for staying back in college i.e. 11 pm.

At 10 pm, we find out that our reports are still not ready, and would probably be ready by afternoon, and our presentation is supposed to be in the morning. Hooray! Looks like time to panic. Anyhow, Gerard and Hardik, two of our 4 team members (the others being Savio and I), decide to go to the shop to hound the guy till we got the reports. Wound up reaching home after midnight.

Tuesday, April 25

Ah, the day of the presentation dawns. After 2 hours, we finally get the project reports. Those 2 hours were pretty tough as we were rather worried, but our presentation was fortunately delayed on request.

Anyway, all's well that ends well. Our presentation was a hit with the external, the principal of MET (a very nice lady).

Thank God. Now that hassle is over, and our vivas(the last we'll have in Mumbai University) have begun. We ought to be getting sentimental, but fat chance we will.

Project is over

At last all the work related to our B.E. project is done. Now I can start blogging regularly. More on this later.
