12 hrs for the exam, 10 chapters to go
Thursday, 11. January 2007, 11:43:27
Its exam time again. It started yesterday with the worst possible subject - Chemistry. After 10 hours of slogging in my room, I was shocked to find that I couldn't remember a thing, not one reaction, not one process. The 3 hours in the examination hall was torture.
Its probably me to be blamed. During the "10 hour slog" (just before the exam), my mind was distracted on other things. I kept reading the first few pages in the text book (Acknowledgement and print information), I read all the function of a calculator, saw the flight of a fly and its feeding habits, gazed outside the window with no thought in my head (thats not unusual). When at last I turned the pages to the actual lessons, and after reading the first few lines, I felt sleepy and bored.
Chemistry is really really boring. I mean who cares about Biological Oxygen Demand or MBBA liquid crystal behavior. I've already made a list of excuses to use when the results come out:
* I have attention deficit disorder (I might actually have ADD. The Indian Team lost in South Africa....Bush is calling for more troops....Zzz)
* I'm a dyslexic (not hard to prove).
* Oh! I thought we had Maths.
* My religion forbids me to study for chemistry...(Will not work. Only I'm capable of coming up with crap like this)
* and my favorite, "Boys will be Boys" (Knowing the way I study, I'll forever be stuck in college)
Tomorrow, I have a Computer Exam. Right now, as I write this post, my mom thinks I'm studying. Every time she comes in, I switch off the speaker and open Turbo C and pretend that I'm engrossed in writing a program.
Its sad to see that I haven't yet started studying even though we had 10 days holidays before this to study. I used this time to update my movie knowledge,
1) Borat - Cultural leanings from America to make benefit a glorious nation of Kazakhstan.
Never before have I felt the collective emotions of disgust and happiness at the same time. Its a really funny movie (in parts) with some nightmare-giving disgusting scenes (the fight between Borat and his partner Azamat).
2) Little Miss Sunshine
A really nice slow paced movie with great performance by the little girl and Steve Carrell. Pretty funny at parts, but totally likeable.
3) An Inconvenient truth
Narrated by former US Vice-president Al gore, this is a documentary about global warming. Depressing movie in which every five minutes they remind us that the earth will be destroyed. But a good movie to see nonetheless.
4) Monty Python and the search for the holy grail
A spoof of King Arthur and knights of roundtable. this is a pretty funny movie.
Not to mention the countess hours seeing the cricket match (in which India got whooped), The Simpsons, the office.
I've also learnt new recipes (and I don't cook), tried to learn 'Esperanto', read the newspaper from top to bottom, and other worthless non-academic stuff.
Yeah its true, I'm a messed up kid with horrible priorities.
