I see light :
Finally, all my "exams" are over. How about a slight recap? Yeah that would be just about right.
It starts with IIT JEE, the "mother of all exams". Fuck, whom am i kidding? It is a pathetic excuse of an exam, i dont even know why i gave it. 9:00 am in the morning i was busy getting my arse kicked with questions, that i couldnt even trace to a proper topic. 5:00 pm was when it got over, hell of a lot of time aint it?
Second in line was AIEEE. Now, i want to fore-warn every one, i was prepared for this exam, but some one up there had different plans for me. The centre i got was so close to home, and involved so little travel, that some wise guy decided i get no means of ventilation either. YES, there were no fans in the fucken building. Forget fans, the walls were not even painted. To add to that, we were made to sit two on a bench, a bench fit for a couple of K.G kids. So there it went.
Then came TMISAT. for those who have not heard of it, it is an exam to get into Tolani Maritime Institute, for Marine engineering. Okay, the exam went well, (there were A/Cs in the comp lab), i got 63 on 100, which placed me in the top ten among my batch. Great, but then, someone in the admisnistration had a brainstorm and decided to hold the interview on the same day. Baggy pants, rolled sleeves, spikey hair and a 2 week old beard. So much for "first impression" i thought. Thankfully, the person up there was in a forgiving mood, and i aced it.
Now came CET, the meccah for Maharastra students. Again, what is it with the benches. not even half of my hiney was fitting into the fucking bench. The soreness in my back and shoulders, which haunted me for months, came back. i was finishing physics ( i thought : "hey physics was good") when the admisnistrator said, "ten minutes left". So much for physics was good. i marked all the options in chem as "Cs". i had no confidence in maths and i left out all the ones i didnot get for fear of losing time. Fortunately it went okay.
Now BITS. This exam proved that the human mind works better at cooler temperatures. The centre was same as that for TMISAT. AIR CONDITIONING WOO HOO!! i scored a humble 202 (which if should've got in the similar AIEEE exam, would've meant i aced it). So that's how they were.
Now here i am, sitting with a two ton midriff, and a sense of absolute relief.
United need one more point to win the record breaking 18'th title, out of a possible six. So fuck you Liverpool fans. Tired, off to see some television. Bye now.
