Boards over... so WHAT??

That's what my Parents said when I came home and screamed in joy. It put me off! I have restricted myself so much to so many things - TV, internet, movie outings with friends, normal outings with friends... Name any luxury - I had given it up! But my parents were indifferent! They said, "Your real freedom comes only after you are done with your college entrance exams"

I was SO heartbroken! What's worse - dad nearly put a blanket ban on me for accessing the Interenet - but I pleaded him and he agreed for 1-1 &1/2 hours on weekends and thats when I am posting this.. sad!!

But I am glad, just as you are, that the boards are OVER. Enough of those dreams I'd have before every exam:

Before Chem: That SAME alkyl halideand amine group

Before Physics: I am installing a full-wave rectifier in my fan! (apparently that was the only thing in physics I was confident about :P)

Before English: I am speaking in front a large group of people telling them how to use the "interstices" in their lives to do something productive.

Before Math: I was solving calculus. I still remember that sum(to find the limit of sum of xdx)

Before Computer Science: I was dreaming about Facebook/Orkut (:P :P :P)

Before Bio: I didnt, cuz I am NOT a bio student (yay!)

Forget dreams, I think these things dominated our thoughts day and night till the exam was done with... right? If we'd call each other up, the call lasted for 2 mins only and the conversation was strictly academic.

But, now I am glad that this phase is OVER. And also sad. Didn't you realise that on the day of our last exam, we had worn ou school uniform for the last day...? Didn't you realise that it was the last time you were going to see ALL your classmates(friends or enemies both) together peacefully? Didn't you realise that three hours was the maximum time you'd now spend in a school? Aren't you going to miss those colourful posters on the wall reminding us of birthdays and other things?

The school phase for us, dears, has officially come to an end :( :( Now, we need to make our path. We have to study for securing a seat in a reputable college. I am sure ALL of us are going to do well, and WE WILL... right?

All the best to you!!
