SPOILER ALERT: This post is not going to be about the brilliant novel by Charles Dickens. So if you came here because you have a report to give and you're too lazy to read the actual book, go eat a cupcake or something. Nobody likes you. Okay, I'm just kidding, the story ends with Pip and Estella getting married. Yes, I cried.
Hey y'all how's it going?
So this post is actually going to be about something that depresses me quite a lot. My board exam results. For those of you who are from not-India, the board exam is this really big test that you take when you're fifteen. And apparently, every time you fail a subject, a baby dies. Okay no, everybody knows that happens when you forget to recycle, but it is a really big deal over here.
See, Indian families are a lot like so-called "Asian" families, except less good looking (By the way, Indians are Asians too. Stop giving the Chinese all the credit). You're expected to get really good marks and become a doctor/engineer or the family is dishonoured. And we've all been told since we were six years old (hey that rhymed) that the course of our entire lives depends on this one examination.
So, you'd think that knowing all this, I would have spent at least the past two years preparing for it, which is what you're actually supposed to do. I have two words for you: I'm an idiot. See what I did there?
Not only did I NOT prepare before the examination, I spent most of the study holidays between each test sleeping. Who says nothing is impossible? I do it all the time.
Here is a list of things that I did in the month of March, which is when the exam was held:
1. Mastered the Japanese art of origami (Fold, crumple, throw away.)
2. Learnt three separate DIFFICULT piano pieces.
3. Baked a ton of chocolate cake.
4. Took a membership in a gym (because of all the cake)
and
5. Watched almost every episode of the Suite Life ever filmed. I don't know why but watching little blond people soothes me.
So there you have it. Five reasons why I really really don't want my results. Now, the good news. Hopefully, there'll be a new post by tomorrow. Yay!!
