My first day at University

I got chance in University of Dhaka. It is one of the best universities in Bangladesh thats why I am very happy. There are some events and experiences in my life. But all are not equally important and memorable. Some of these are pleasant and they remain ever-green in my heart.

At last the cherished day came. It was the 8th January of 2012. It was Saturday. The weather was fine. This morning was a bit different than usual, as I had my new varsity to attend. I woke up early, which was quite unusual especially after the long vacations that had just got over.

Obviously, I had to look good than I looked everyday. Although a lot of them may deny, I think everybody wants to look beautiful and handsome on the first day of varsity. I started my journey at 8:00 am because my class was at 9.00am. I reached at the bus stop at 8.15am and the bus arrived at 8.20am. I reached the varsity just at 8.35 a.m. I wondered at the attractive building of our department. It was fine four-storeyed attractive building. I realized that a new chapter had started in my life and I must go forward.

The whole campus was crowded by lots of young pupils. At first I felt very lonely. I was loitering here and there because I did not know anyone. Then I met some of my friends. We exchanged greetings with one another. Then they took me to the notice board. I took down my class routine and the room numbers. With a surprise I found that the classes are not held in a particular room. I shall have to change my classroom after about every period. Than I went to my classroom.

I entered the class as if I was entering a new world where I felt I knew nobody, I am all different from them and without even having a glance at the entire class.

I quickly grabbed a seat on the third bench. Than I went outside the class with some other boys and make new friends. Just after a minute, a welldressed, handsome professor appeared before us. We all stood up to honour him. I came to know that he was the professor of Economics. His name is Khandokar Mostafa Kamal. He called over the rolls. Then he addressed us as gentlemen and delivered an advising lecture in English. He taught us the definition of economics. He treated us as his friends and spoke in a polite manner. I listened to his words attentively. I found a great difference between a varsity teacher and a university teacher. After 50 minutes later the class was over. Than we got a 10 minute break. In break, we went to the canteen and drink a cup of tea. When the break was over, we went to the class and wait for the next teacher.

Than our chairman Nitai Chakrabarti came to our class and call over the roll. He was the professor of Linear Algebra. When the class was over, we made a plan to go to TSC. So finishing the class we started our journey to TSC. Than we came to our dept. We changed our class according to the routine. I took my seat in the first bench. I enjoyed the class pleasantly. I found that all the professors were very learned and polite. I was really proud of getting myself admitted into such an ideal institution.

The classes were suspended after the fourth period on that day. Then I went to the student common room. I also went to our department library which is known as seminar. It was well furnished. There I found newspaper and periodicals on the stands. There were also arrangements

of indoor games such as caroms, table tennis chess board etc. other enjoyment. I found some students playing and some reading newspapers, magazines and journals.

My first day at university is the most memorable day of my life. Everything in the university appeared before me to be new and joyful. I left the university with new experience, new friends and a cheerful mind. The day will remain evergreen in my memory.
