Life is terrible.<\/p>\n
Everybody’s going back to college abroad, and I haven’t been able to see them off. The weather is terrible in Patiala. The air is laden with moisture and hangs still over the ground. I desperately need a nailcutter and bathroom slippers.<\/p>\n
I have to prepare two project reports in twentyfour hours. The deadline is 4 pm on Thursday. Each one is expected to be fifty to seventyfive pages long. Aargh.<\/p>\n
My performance in the last FLT (Full length test- the sample CAT I give every Sunday for practice) was painful. The Quant section was terrible.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, life is beautiful.<\/p>\n
Everybody else in my batch has also been a lazy procrastinator, and they, too, have to prepare their report in twentyfour hours. We’re all in the same boat, which takes a little bit of the bite out.<\/p>\n
There’s a holiday tomorrow for Janamashtami- so I actually have twentyfour hours to prepare the reports. Whee! Things are looking up.<\/p>\n
I have money, and buying the nailcutter and bathroom slippers is hardly a ten minutes job.<\/p>\n
Sure, everybody else is leaving or has left, but Vikram is back in Delhi. And he’s been promising to do ‘ek saal ki masti ek mahine mein’. The imagination boggles.<\/p>\n
As for the FLT- even with a performance as disastrous as I thought, I’m still in the 99th percentile, and clearing the cutoffs. So there.<\/p>\n
There’s always a silver lining. The trick is to appreciate it.<\/p>\n
And yes, I will start writing something more interesting than status reports as soon as I have the time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
