pheww............... this is the best expression i can think of to describe my current state of mind, to tell how relaxed i am feeling now when my grad. examz are finally over after one and a half month.the chains have been broken. i am a free bird now.my final year is finally over... : ) :)
And with this last exam, i said goodbye to all my friends and classmates. For three years, i was in north campus seeing these familiar faces day in and day out, my life almost revolved around them and maybe now, i wont see them again.i wont even have an inkling about their whereabouts and imagine ,once we were in a class together where we used to spend almost our whole day in each other's company and now its all over. we all have parted our ways.......funny...but its true. i guess we all have to move on and we all will definitely move ahead in our lives.
And now on a very different topic altogether, i finally gave my JNU entrance ( although i dont have anything much to write about itbut will still go on..)
i had applied for two courses- ma in eco and masters with world specialization. so, unfortunately i had to give the exam on two consecutive days and the centre was a good one and a half hour drive away from my place. it was a total waste of time,esp. the world eco waala paper..it was a three hour torture...i mean.. i felt i was there for a storytelling competition... 8 subjective questions of 1o-15 marks each with no internal or external choice ( except in one) with a time limit of three hours...lolz....
i was done with it within tw0 hours..infact lesser than this... the exam was worse than my grad. exams. i felt like pulling my hair because i ran all the way from the front gate of the school to the examination room alloted to me, almost out of breath, panting heavily because i was late by 15 mins ( reached there at 2:15 pm and exam started at 2:oo pm, i got stuck in traffic) and in the end, i was done with it in 2 hours..infact before that.......i felt like kicking myself hard.why the hell i ran ? it was not worth of this much effort.
Now, one thing is for sure i am not getting any admission in jnu after my debacle and i swear, nomatter how late i maybe for an exam, i wont run to reach in time next time.

An underweight
So finally i am heaving a sigh of relief....no..my ordeal has not ended yet but yea, i can say that i am halfway thru it.
i am almost done with my grad. exams. only one is left which is after a good15 dayz break. so very soon, i will be able to say "yes.... i am finally a graduate who studied eco for 3 long yrs in du and the experience was not that bad".
But before that, i have to gear up for the entrances that are waiting for me with arms wide open.a thing that will keep me occupied till july ..ohhh...i just wish that there was some other selection procedure.I donot understand the logic behind these entrances.i dont think that a three hour long paper can fairly assess my aptitude, whether i am suitable to do my majors in economics.Its like a gamble that i and many people will play in three hours .A whole lot depends on luck ..yea..simply on my luck.
But , i will play the game with fingers crossed, hoping for the best.
By the way, i got a kind of reality check yesterday.i saw one article regarding obese and underweight people in the newspaper yesterday. Some numbers were given in it to find whether you are an underweight or not.
so,i also took the plunge and calculated my body mass index and i found that i am an underweight!!..I also come in the same bracket...i was taken aback. me.. an underweight?...strange.. how is that possible ? ok..i do have a lean structure but that does not mean that i am undernourished.
The only explanation that i have for this body mass index finding is that maybe i have lost a few kilos in the past month because maybe i was under stress due to exams ( i am least convinced with my reasoning though) but its a fair point, thats plausible enough.
Besides these experiments with the body mass index, life is a dud. Its moving at a snail's pace and this will be the pace for next one or two months.
