Bunked the afternoon exam, didn't have any idea it was gonna take place. Turns out, they've combined 5 sections into one (at 100+ students per, that ain't much of a joke), and figgered since no one's comin' anyways, this should make sure the odd ones who do, quickly change their minds. School technically got over after the 12th boards last month, but its open till the last major entrance test on 30th (why do i feel i'm reiterating?). Everyone's stayin' home and studyin. Thats good for them, but I usually spend most of my homestuck days on Csim, so I prefer goin' to j/c. And worse - prep exams everyday for the next 20, till its over with. 2 to 5 means i leave at 1, and that ain't a joke either, considering I commute by bus, standing, usually hanging outside, with noon temperatures over 40C. Sheeesh! not fun, I can tell ya. So like, wednesday. Enjoy!

Lovely!!

0520, sun's lookin' like it might come up soon, gotta catch some brekka and get on my way. Long one today. Y'all have a great day! Cyc

No problemo, listenin' to my favourite - The Other Side of Life. 2330 here, gonna sleep soon. <yawn> Goin' to school tom, 0530. Tho scool's formally over (i wrote my 12th boards last month) the cllg exams get over in may, so scool (junior colllege, act) runs till the last one's over - 30th apr. Till then, its the daily grind. See you all in about 24. Cyc out.

Going at 50 INR -->1 US$, that works out to, uhmm, about 1600 INR. *Goes to desk, opens drawer, pulls out wallet, starts flipping through compartments* Lessee, there's a tattered 20, a new 10, coins of various denominations, and a '38 1. Whoa, where did the 1 come from??? *Makes note to visit local heritage museum later in the day* Methinks me'll wait for the local tri-recycled 7th reprint Though seriously, I'll pick it up if it gets to stores here. I'll keep an eye out here, and I'll be heading north to the capital in the summer. Hopefully it'll have arrived. That is, if you're goin' global?

Tuesday, afternoon, I’m just beginning to see, Now I’m on my way, It doesn’t matter to me, Chasing the clouds away. Something, calls to me, The trees are drawing me near, I’ve got to find out why Those gentle voices I hear Explain it all with a sigh. I’m looking at myself, reflections of my mind, It’s just the kind of day to leave myself behind, So gently swaying thru the fairy-land of love, If you’ll just come with me and see the beauty of Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday, afternoon, I’m just beginning to see, Now I’m on my way, It doesn’t matter to me, Chasing the clouds away.

Have a good day, fellas!

Nice!

It shouldn't, they use different signal frequencies, I think.

Yeah, right, cj!!! Hey donnie, dont worry, I had to undergo 8months of serious root canal for my last molar, and have fillings put on two more at age 13 My brushing wasn't proportional to my chocolating Y'all finally reached monday?

Yeah, they're running that hear for the 3rd time, I guess I caught season 2. Nothing great, all it had was a bunch of perenially-primed models and a hornet competing for screen-space.

Careful there, Shep, that thing looks dangerous

Hear, hear. They seem to serve abs. no purpose except making the run home slower.

Lol! When does spring start there?

Mornin' all, monday. "THERE'S A WHOLE 5 DAYS TO GO!!!!!" Yesterday was the IIT entrance exam. Exited home at 0630, with one aim- attempt atleast 10 questions in each of the 3 papers. Returned home, 1930, shivering with exhaustion. Did 27 in phy, 12 in math, 30 in chem. MumDad were kinda unhappy, 'coz even though I'd told them I wasn't gonna be able to do it over a year ago, they're my parents - hope is one thing they can never lose. Fine, so when I called them up after physics, they were thrilled, as was I - they had the news on the whole day - turned out I'd done better than most of the country. But math was too difficult - 90 minutes into the paper, my ORS (optical response sheet, for objective tests) was blank. Half an hour to go, only one way out - ANIMAL!!! Any answer that looked good, mark. Forget the negatives, a -10 atleast shows you've tried. Did 12 like that, then handed in the paper. Dreaded telling my parents about it, but it had to be done. By the time i had to write chem, i was feeling pretty down . And with all my buddies scattered in centres all over the city, there wasn't much of a cheering party available. Dejection set in before chem could, decided that since I've already screwed up my chances, i might as well go hell for leather. Did 8 questions I was sure of, and then animalled 22 more. Atleast I'll never regret not trying. Mooning about at home after the exam wasn't helping, so on dad's orders I left for the court. Played a bit, got pissed with some MarCos' kid, caught up with 2 other guys who'd written it, and left for home with the assurance that atleast none of dad's peer's kids're gonna clear (to get in, you have to rank in the top 4500, out of 4 hundred thousand. ) Granted a day's leave by mom, going to crank up my u-boat now. I've got the Academy exam this sunday, the standard engineering exam (All India Engineering Entrance Exam, AIEEE) on 30th, a state-level engineering exam on 5th may, and one for a private college on the 24th of may. I'm writing only 4-5 coz dad wants me to drop a year and study harder. Unfortunately, there's a clause that says you can join colleges only in the year of your passing out of 12th, and in some cases the subsequent year (ie aged 16-18) And if you drop a year after school, companies dont consider you during campus-placements. So i've got 30th as my last shot. Got to start serious stuff from tomorrow. Have a great week, y'all.

And just last evening a commando's son was going on about how the MarCos're the best cadre to join, while the naval pilots are just a bunch o' sim-jocks. 3 secs later he had the basketball in his face. Hate poeple who trash carrier-pilots.

Isnt' it supposed to get colder?

Lol!! "Smithers, arrange for a pitviper in the back seat, and leave the car out on the street. Lets have some fun! Bwahahahhahahhaahahahahahachokecoughcoughcoughchok aaaaaargh!!!"

Close call, that. Glad you're all ok, j. lol@paddles. how 'bout will smith's audi in I, robot? now thats a car!

Fair point. Though if you're me, which you're not, you wouldn't know what happens after you switch on the rig

0000, gonna crash soon. I've got my IIT entrance exam on sunday, although I've abs. no hopes of clearing, one could always do with a bit o' luck. Esp since 88 students compete for each seat, compared to 6 for an MIT one. I guess I wont be coming online till monday, then. Y'all have a great weekend, see you on the 10th. Cyc out.

"European Air War" AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!! I thought you fellas were discussin' Star Wars: Empire at War, I'm going nuts here
