New worlds to conquer


They say that experiencing the good things in life translates into utopia on earth, but without the propaganda. So this is my self-indulgent and extravagant list of good things in my life.

1. karate classes start again next week. considering i'm in the best shape of my life since i was fourteen, go kiyah!
2. my exams went not half as disastrously as the maternal ancestor foretold. ergo:- when you leave your textbook near your pillow at night, you can actually study by osmosis! hence proved. in your face, mom.
3. the pujas are coming up. translation-i have a budget for shopping, new clothes, classy accessories and shoes, and of course with so many librans' birthdays coming up, TONS of parties and fun.
4. since i briefly disconnected myself from the internet, i rediscovered my creative streak for writing. i have been making massive inroads into both of my writing commitments as well as blogging.
5. i reconnected with three of my closest friends just today. boy does that make me contented.
props to ani, tito and fido.
6. pal is prolly coming coming back to kol for the vacation. good times seem to beckon.
7. have finished downloading casino royale. just watching daniel craig walk down a street gives one an education in spotting the raw power of prima alpha males. wowza!
8. i have rediscovered my liking for certain types of music. thank god for coldplay, the verve, and the script. also downloaded a certain dreamy manilow cover on mp3. sigh........
9. a new relationship is in the offing. tentative optimism....
10. i also anchored a debate on "computer games are a waste of time" for a cnbc edu channel today. boy am i exhausted. cameramen never seem to be ready on time. that or they lose their fresh batteries five minutes before when you want to go home.
11. we seem set to organize a programme in school for teacher's day, and perhaps even the prefectorial ceremony soon. throwing a party AND giving up responsibility.......hallelujah!
12. checking my passwords folder today, i discovered that i am on no less than seven networking sites. considering that some people can go up to the early twenties, i'm still pretty damn exclusive + relatively carefree. (smug smirk)
13. over a year and both my PC and cellphone are currently in good order. to all the sufferers worldwide-pray with me, brothers and sisters!
14. am on fairly good terms with my immediate family due to most of the above. translation - i can stay out all night at least one time this pujas.
15. i have become optimistic and mature enough to appreciate the good in my life and still take advice to work on the things i can change (or want to). this is the biggest point. i think it's called approaching adulthood.

responsibly yours,
trisha

Master, all is well in the state of Denmark

My exams are over. I am free.




(blubbers with joy and runs laughing hysterically around the outer wall seven sacred times)


now that that's over and done with, here is a short eulogy on freedom from oppression



food
how nourishing you are
healthier than exams you are by far
water
how cool you are
more refreshing than exams you are by far
sleep
how stupefying you are
more restful than exams you are by far
laughter
how stirring you are
more charismatic than exams you are by far
time
how short you are
speedier and crankier than an old car by far
life
how forgotten you are
lively and creative and happy no more
love
how ignored you are
more desperate and needier than ever before
exams
how despised you are
the most wearying, dreaded and hated by far
