My ladies

Managed to pull up my CA score for chemistry. Should have totally ‘owned’ the paper… all thanks to some uncharacteristic carelessness, mistaking a ‘-‘ for a ‘+’. Owells. Shall not complain. All’s done and I’m glad.

Exams are in 7 days time. The atmosphere here in the university has changed. The tension, the nervousness, the panic… Dark circles and eye bags have found their way to the faces of many people; many of whom are turning into mugging drones. Still, there are handfuls who have found time to enjoy themselves. Handfuls of very, very lost people.

We’re one of the lost ones. 8 days to the exams and we found ourselves running round the court, edging and taunting and laughing at each other. It’s amazing. And now, the panicking starts.

But there’re no regrets. For it was a great finale. Looking forward to the post-exams games. And I’m still vying for the starting berth. The one with the best shot in the team? Maybe. If my knee holds up that is.

For now, there’s going to be an insurmountable amount of reading, writing, memorizing, cursing, swearing and hair pulling. 4.0 is within grasp but the phrase ‘so near yet so far’ has never been more true than ever.

Thermodynamics, HR management, Engineering mathematics, Applied Chemistry, Materials structure and behavior, Media in America. My six very good girlfriends. Will be having them in my thoughts even when I sleep for the next 3 weeks. After which, they’re all gonna be forgotten. Sad. But true.

Alrights. Ms Thermodynamics is calling for me now. She needs a back rub. Hope she’ll be nice and not toss too much.
