Thinking Aloud!

Only two days of college and looks like everything has changed!! Two days ago I was complaining about being too much bored and now it seems the days are flying!
We don’t have any precise information when the next company will come to college and there’s sooooo much to study before that (now don’t start telling me that I had TWO MONTHS of totally free holidays that I have wasted!). I love the book of networking that I am currently reading, but at the same time I have an uneasy feeling that if any core-electronics company comes in next 10-15 days, I will be caught completely unprepared. Have to do C/C++, digital and analog (*sigh*) before that but I really-really don’t want to leave the networking
Whenever I talk about networking, the first thing people say is “Cisco ke liye padh raha hai??” And I am like what the hell, can’t I study anything that I “like” even though I know it won’t take me to some great company?? I mean, it’s true that I will love to get into Cisco, but then I also know that reading ONE book that too for 10-15 days can’t bring me at par with people who have been preparing for past 2-3 months! But then I prefer networking to say, analog, so even if I know it wont help, I still can’t leave it!!
The easy way out will be to study C/C++, OS, Data Structures and then try for some software company but somehow I don’t feel like doing it! Though I love programming but the idea of memorizing all the tricky questions (that come in most tests) and going through the same books which I had left 1-2 years ago, doesn’t look very nice to me. I will prefer learning some new language or making some kind of project (in the older ones) rather then doing all the mugging.
But then, after looking at the names of companies coming (that is, most probably coming) to college, and then hearing people talking about their preparations (and guessing about mine!!), I realize that it will be really bad on my part if I can’t get some nice offer that too when I am not doing anything else worthwhile (read it as preparing for CAT/GRE). So, as soon as I finish with the current book I will start with other topics so that at least I can give some fight on the d-day!
Then there is the issue of minor project, we have to make a team of 4 people and then decide on faculty guide and project and to me deciding on the team is looking more difficult than the project itself! There are so many conditions, A wont work with B, C wont work without D E isn’t worth taking in the team and F, G and H will only work together! Looks like whole class has been divided into groups of 2 and 3 people (and we have to make the team of exactly 4, not more not less!)
And finally, there are recruitments of robotics club, we have to decide whom to allow, decide about the questionnaire, the timings, the posters, interviews etc etc.
Lots of work but I am loving it 

P.S: If you have any nice electronics project idea, I will be very greatful to know about it!
