err...EXAMS...

ha...bliss.

my accounts exam went as expected.

hook,line and sinker.

i ambled to school, calmly ignoring the nervous and excited chatter around me that emanated from the enlightened souls who actually CARED about their marks.

i would like to claim,again, that my uniqueness is unmatched.

today was a day of silence. silence when i looked at the answer paper. silent cursing on my part because of the mouth ulcer thats holding back my witty wisecracks.

ye all,fear not,lakshmi will come back with a vengeance!

hail me! hail my intellegence!

hail...hardwork.

oh no.

of course,i am getting ahead of myself.

when i saw the paper my arrogance gently prodded me and told me that it was simple and when have i messed up anything simple?

i attacked the first sum. everything went as planned and i was planning to finish the sum with a flourish when i ...gulp...realised i had missed the crux of the problem.

hail murphy!
you really knew what you were talking about,fella.

slash! went my pen...i went at it with a kind of a dogged determination.

after half an hour of copious pencil chewing,i arrived at AN answer.

whether it is the right one remains to be seen.

halfway through,mr.ramu came to invigilate.

woo hoo. this was turning out to be just what i needed.

mr.ramu and i have never gotten along during the best of times and today was definitely not a day i was to be messed with.

his sole mode of amusement the whole time was to pick on me. a snide comment. a sarcastic grin.usually,i reciprocate pretty darn well,but i was quite anxious to do atleast some sums right,so i refrained.

with a depleted opponent egging him on,he walked around pushing up my exam pad the everytime and generally shouting instructions to the class while standing next to me,which interrupted my minimal concentration and wrecked what little progress i had made.

to top it off,i discovered,after giving in my paper that i had forgotten to write a 5 mark question that was by far the easiest thing in the whole paper.

whatever.it was little consolation that everyone's answers were just as bad.

but ice cream ,the time tested formula for cheering me up,worked its magic this time around too and i sauntered home,savouring the chocolatey taste in my mouth.

oh well,there is always a next time.
