The beginning of the second semester in AIM mba 2003-05 with unimpressive first semester result cum grade sheet

I got off early after taking out my luggage from the belt conveyor in the airport after clearing myself from the Immigration and customs. I got off to a taxi a air-conditioned one and proceeded towards AIM.
Our classes started one day ago and I missed one day's class of two subject.
In AIM I was staying in room no 505 which was quite vacant at that time because out of four students two has gone for the exchange programme and rest two including me was staying in the dorm.The other student who was not for the exchange programme was Vedant Dube who also went to his house at that time.
As usual , I entered the class for the second semester and I joined the subjects which I liked though it was not so.
In this semester we had eight subject like General Management-I, Financial Managament-II, Financial Management-II, Management communication-II,
Management Accounting and control systems, Marketing Management, Operations
Management, and Strategic Information Management and Technology.
This term was lighter than the first term
The room no 505 was empty and I was staying alone till 25 th January ,2004 when Vedant dube came back from India. In the second term our batchmates were already having
Experience about the class participation norms and standards and therefore in this semester the general quality of the class participation was better than before and a lot of emphasis was given on talking sense rather than the talking nonsense and sometimes repeating.
I was abit scared about the grades in the subjects of the first semester and I had the feeling I may not done as I spoke quite little in some of the subjects and some times in other subjects. My fear was rightly predicted as we got the grade sheet in which I had flunked in four subjects in the first semester total seven units lost in the process and requirements were that no student should fail more than 12 units in ayear.
I flunked in management communication ( 2 units) , Human Behaviour in organization (2 units), Financial Management(2units) and Language of Business (2units).
We got our grade sheet on the 30 th January almost one month after the second semester had started. I was now in the danger situation in the first year.
To be honest, I still do not know how I have failed in at least two subject management communication and the HBO . History was created when one third of the class failed in HBO due to a very silly reason of writing wrong reflexion papers .. it is common thing that in the reflection I writes one's experience about learning in the subject and it varies from person to person and there is no fixed answer to this type of writing. Therefore many student were angry that how come one canfail in the subject only thru the reflection paper writing
