I passed! I PASSED!! I FREAKING PASSED!!! And then, I was broke....

Alrighty! For those of you who're wondering as to what the jibbers I'm going on about, I'll have you know that I have safely cleared my JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N2 level safe and sound... okay. just barely! But whatever! I cleared! And that's all I'm bothered about.

 

N2 amigos! I am now officially somewhat knowledgeable in what I do.... I think!

And now for the sad part... I'm nearly broke! Well.... not exactly nearly broke... I mean, well... ah, forget it!


To celebrate the great news that is me clearing the N2 level, I decided I'd get myself a new pair of jeans! And since I'm monstrously tall (according to everyone shorter than me) and being infamously thin (again, according to folks fatter than me), I cannot buy jeans that are supposed to be for women because everybody assumes that you're going to be either gigantic or petite! Nope! No sizes in the middle!! And as is my wont, I was browsing through the Men's section of Jeans on the interwebz. (more on that, later!)

I found the jeans I wanted and added the bugger to my cart... and clicked order now! But for some reason, I just couldn't click checkout! I just couldn't bring myself to!!

And so, here I am. Broke... with a pair of jeans I terribly want... with just enough money to get it if I forgo food and commutation for the next seven days!!

 

Why? Why, oh Lord?!

 

Yay me! Oh... and Pochi!

GUESS WHAT! GUESS WHAT!!! GUESS WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

I PASSED MY JLPT N4 EXAM! KYAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Ahem... I'd really like to thank every single person out there who was praying for me or rooting for me! I would especially like to thank my Sensei - Ramesh-sensei and Shimizu-sensei. Both of them had such immense trust in my abilities and thanks to the gentle motivation I received from them, I felt loved and truly inspired to give it my all!
有難うご座いました、清水先生、ラメシュ先生！お蔭様で合格しました！

And I'm really really happy that I've finally managed to be good at something! Oh so happy! So very very happy!

皆、合格しましたよ！万歳！

Oooo... and there's a wee little puppy near my institute! I've decided to call him Pochi!

♫ ♥ Pochi-chan! Pochi-chan! ♥ ♪

JLPT N4 is finally over!

Yes.... I've done my JLPT N4 exams to the very best of my abilities and as though the gods were happy with my earnestness, I was the first number in the hall, I got to sit close to the tape recorder and there were no graph related questions in the listening section! But still... I'm feeling really tired!

All in all, it was a moderately easy exam. I keep hearing my friends go on that they found it difficult and this is beginning to scare me! Have I really done well or am I missing something here?! And furthermore... are they being honest when they say they found it hard? I know quite a lot of people who just downplay their well written exams because they fear the "evil eye"! That's ridiculously stupid!

Ah... to wait till March... it's agony! (T-T)

Studying... burning out.... but studying! :D

For everyone out there who's been wondering where I'd vanished off to, worry not... I haven't found a secret way to Khonan nor have I managed to entice the fourth emperor of Khonan; neither have I managed to forge an alliance between Khutou and Khonan. And I have most definitely not managed to break the icy barrier around Nakago's aching heart! *le sigh* what wouldn't I do for an adventure as that! ;)

Anyway, this post is just to let everybody out there know that I'm pretty busy preparing for my JLPT exams and believe me... I suddenly realize that this is actually tougher than what people claim it is! ARGH... So much to study... so little time! And to make matters worse, I keep forgetting most of it... but I remember it at the same time! Am I even making sense, I wonder!

Anyway, people, wish me luck ne! I most definitely NEED to get through if it's the last thing I do! To fail in this would be like tearing my beating heart out of my chest and presenting it to Huitzilppochtli! (Cute name...barbaric fellow!)

P.S. For anyone wondering if I'm actually complaining about learning for JLPT, you've got it wrong! I've never enjoyed anything more than learning Japanese! So, if you were concerned, here's a hug from me for your sweet thoughts!

P.P.S. I'm wondering if I should make a headband like the ones they wear before exams! You know... the ones that help you concentrate more? LOL

I'm Panicking! I'M PANICKING!!!!

AAAAAARGH!!!!! My entrance examinations are all approaching fast and I still haven't started preparing for it! I have not an inkling in the world as to what I will be doing! Is this a good time to panic? No?

I'm aware that I cannot afford to waste any more time dawdling about, procrastinating but... but.... AAAAAAARGH!!!!!! I'm panicking! I'm soooooo panicking here!

*ahem* So, I've decided. Enough with all this silliness! I am going to start preparing with earnest beginning..... today! Now! This instant! And it's about time I took this bull by the horns! BRING IT ON, BABY!!!!

Oh... and if any of you well meaning folks out there want to give me pointers on how I can prepare for the GATE and other entrance exams for Physics, please mail me...comment... psionically contact me..... DO SOMETHING!!!!

Pssst: if any of my friends abroad are interested, I might not write GRE this year. The entrance fee costs a bomb and well.... I'm just not ready enough! T___T

Exams are over and done with! MWAHAHHAHA!!!

Ah! The exams are finally over and done with! What happiness and peace I feel when I think that I shalln't have to wake up at three in the morning to cram as much electronics or crystallography or fourier analysis into my teeny little head!

Yes! Until the fifth of january, this baby is going to paint the city purple! (psst... I know it should be red... but purple's better ne? ;D)

Oh... and a couple of my friends are starting blogs. And that means, Kikyo here will be preparing free banners for them! This is to get back the touch I had with photoshop. And moreover, they get a free graphic! Win-Win I say! :D

That's it for now people! Let me sit and lounge and marvel at the art of doing nothing! Ahhh... I am in heaven... or the closest I'll ever get to it!

The same thing we do every night, Pinky! TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"

I had my workshop exam today and all I'd like to say is - "PHEW!!!" Glad that's out of my system! And I had my library membership activated! Now all I've to do is swipe my ID card and I can have all the books in the world! MWAAAHAHAHA! (Okay... just four books at a time but...)MWAHAHAHA!!!!

And ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together and give a standing ovation to my first library book(that's made it out of the library) from Anna University this year!

"STATISTICAL MECHANICS By RYOGO KUBO"

And he's a professor from the University of Tokyo! Talk of coincidence! ;D

And this is an excerpt from the conversation I was having with my friend, Sonia (Hiiii!)


Scenario: Canteen, CEG, Guindy.
There was this guy who was waiting for his coffee and well... he was a little good looking... all that deep and emotional type!And we managed to see that!

Me: Hey... that boy there's quite cute! Or is it just me?
Sonia: Nope... it's not you. He is cute.
Me: Hmmm... okay...
Sonia: He seems so depressed and morose and homesick!
Me: Yeah... he's just waiting for some girl to come hug him tight and tell him all his boo-boos will go bye bye! But I'm scared how his stainless tumbler would scar my forehead.. so I don't think I'll go there!
Sonia: *sigh* all the good ones are either taken... or younger!
Me: Yeah... now that you've mentioned it! Darn!
Sonia: *gets up* Might as well go and bury myself in my misery!
Me: (ever the quintessential cheery one!) Don't worry! You just wait girl! You'll meet this really cute Japanese particle theorist and you'll fall in love and get married and discover the glory of GUT!
Sonia: *blank stare* (by now, she wasn't the only one doing that!)
Me:(Still oblivious) And just imagine what you could name your kids.... If I had a Japanese particle theorist for a husband, I'd have him name our kind - Ashon!
Sonia: Yeah?
Me and Sonia: Though judging from half the genetic makeup he'll have, Moron would be a better choice!
Me and Sonia: Oy vey!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And if you haven't guessed it already, my next exam's on Monday - *drumrolls* Classical Mechanics and Statistical Physics!

Sigh... for some reason, I feel like quite the selfish apathetic female dog that I'm not sure if I am...or not! Oh well... that's yet another story!

Ciao people!

......meh.....

I am totally lazy right now to even think of some good title! And just so the general populace know... I had a slight accident that involves a back-stabbing backpack, a really sharp nail and the level crossing. So now I lie, in tank tops sighing my days away as I wait for a two inch long gash in my back to heal. (Oh and the tetanus shots are all done with...damn, I hate needles!)

I guess the wound was kind of unsightly because as I shrugged off the pain and proceeded to college, I could find a lot of my friends going 'sssssssss'. One of them dropped the bottle of water she was holding... makes me wonder... Hmmmm.... maybe it's time I concocted vivid narrations as to how I incurred the wound. *evil grin*

And as for the exam I had on the same day... I think I'll pass. It was getting a little difficult as I had a bruised back, a full bladder and the inferno known as Gauss divergence theorem to deal with - at the same time! You do the math people! (No pun intended... and if you didn't get that well...eheh...)

I've got Workshop Technology tomorrow or as my dear friend Sido would say - "a man's job!"

Makes me want to wish I'd get sucked into some parallel dimension where I'll be crowned the saviour of their universe and never have to worry about another lathe or drilling machine or some other horrendous contraption along the same lines!

*Sigh* like many other things in my life... wishful thinking!

Ja... I'm off people! Will keep you guys posted... If I live through the ordeal that is! MWAAAHAHAHAHA!

My Exams are on their way!

Yes! Finally, I shall be having my semesters (about time!). And my practicals have already been done with... it was today and I got IC7805 regulated 5Volt power supply.

Hmmm... was pretty easy actually! Now I must muster all strength to give my best in the exams to come! :D

Wish me luck people!

P.S. The transport system in Chennai (the buses) can be such a pain in the rear end! (literally...try their seats, you'll know what I mean!)

Exam Blues...

Oookay.... Had my Entrance Exams for Anna University on 25th. And for some weird reason, I don't think that went very well... But there's a catch. I'd answered most of the questions and as time goes by, I'm coming across those problems and I presume I've answered most of them correctly (intuition? genius? Naaah... Plain Luck I tell ya!). But there's this subtle fear that gnaws me. Just don't want to hope for a lot and end up with naught.

And Pune University's entrance is on 4th. I downloaded my admit card today and seeing that piece of paper finally in the physical realm of 3D, it gives me the hibidiba-jeebies! I suddenly realize what I've prepared for is not going to get me through. Maybe that's the truth... may be I'm being paranoid. Oh well... all will be clear on the "day of doom".... 4th of June... Now's when I wish time dilation works at a really really observable level for velocities that aren't as fast as Light's!
Which reminds me! Must go work out the Lorentz Transformation! @___@

Just wish I got through!
