Friday...Part 1

Hmmm......last Friday. Not good. Not bad either. But mostly not good. I can't seem to shake off the 2-exams-in-1 day curse. 2 months back I was struggling with 2 finals on the same day....twice!! These people sure can be ruthless. Under University of Toronto regulations, a student can expect upto 3 exams on the same day. Upto 2 exams can be back to back, without a break. I'll shit myself if that happens this term.

Well back to Friday and everything leading up to it. First of all, I spent all of Reading Week (week before last) lazing around, downloading and watching movies, mostly catching up on 90s classics. I think I outdid myself even lol - 7 days = 12 movies. Though I had a good time, I neglected and grossly underestimated my Film Studies assignment. By the time I was done with that, it was wednesday last week, with 2 days to go before the double mid-term thing. Damn.

Somehow I managed to will myself on, trying hard not to give in to the "callin-in-sick" temptaton. By the way, I have come to the conclusion that my attention span is directly related to the time left before any exam. You get the picture?

I pulled an all-nighter, or rather tried to. And zzzzzz.....fell asleep around 5.30 am. Woke up at 6, set alarm to 6.30. Alarm. Snooze. Snooze. Shut the fuck up you stupid thing. Snooze. 7.30. What the fuck, I'm gonna screw the test up anyways, go to sleep. 8.30. What the hell is that buzzing....damn, its 8.30. 2 hrs left. Its the same almost everyday, with a little less panic. Also my relationship with the alarm is not a very pleasant one, as you can see.

I dragged myself to University for the first test. Didn't go as bad as I thought it would. I had 2 hrs before the next exam. No respite however. Alain, Ali and I found an empty classroom and got down to studying for VCC201H5S.....Stupid Visual Culture! I still can't believe how far I've come from Accountancy and Economics to Communications, Film and the like, in 1 year. Shit man. That's quite an achievement....!

Well anyways, VCC didn't go well, which was expected. Just hope to pass by a fair margin. Problem is, I was aiming at Visual Culture to be my Specialist Program. This introductory course has certainly been a disappointment. In other words, I'm back to the drawing board. As Eric Cartman would say...."Goddamit!!!"

Heh heh.. that was interesting..

I've never spent sleepless nights over exams..

The only exam for which I would wake up early is Economics!! God! Chokshi and her annoying voice.. I can imitate her very well.. :P

I hate giving exams back to back.. I had to give them this year.. coz I didn't give last 3 second test because of my cousin's wedding..

Exams remind me that I have University exams from 16th and I must get back to studies! :P

Keep writing!:)
