Here ends the preps, here ends the preps!
Just as I finish writing my last pre finals paper my face lightens up assimilating the fact that I have completed writing it. There is a sense of satisfaction which slowly crawls all over my body. BUT… like all bollywood movies have a villain who pops up at inappropriate times, the thought that I still have to write my finals pops up. The earlier feeling is probably what is called as the irrational exuberance!
To give you all an example of heights of mixed emotions, I finish my preps= happy; got my finals still =sad; got study holidays in between = happy; things which I do +things which happen to me during these holidays makes me sad all over again.
Here’s the whole thing…
The foremost reason why I hate study holidays is because those are ‘study’ holidays. The word ‘holiday’ when preceded by the word ‘study’ brings in a lot of dissatisfaction, guilt, frustration and deserves all the generous negative feelings I can find. Although a lot of times I do tend to bifurcate ‘study’ from ‘study holidays’, there are a few omnipresent things (like books, photocopies of notes) and people (like mum and dad) which/who predictably remind you of the impending (probably a disastrous) examination.
This might sound strange to many ears but studying makes me hungry. The innumerable cups of coffee and innumerable cookies my mum gets to my room door step makes me feel all the more lazy and sleepy and I decide to take a nap which perhaps will go on for an hour or two and sometimes three. All these collectively makes me put on weight which is another strong reason why I hate study holidays. So that makes it the second reason. (I guess being a girl this reason should have been the primary reason :-/ what do you think?)
Reason number 3: The “I-am-so-addictive-to-TV-soaps” mum watches TV all day long and my “I-work-all-day-so-I-deserve-to-watch-TV-in-the-night” brother leave me no other option than to watch the mind-numbing soaps or a better among the worst options of not watching TV at all.
Hmmm…that’s about it. I don’t usually whine about things. But stuff like exams really makes me go bonkers!
