And now for a saturday in the life of Eris...
05:15hrs- First alarm goes off. I set it so I could get up early and study for the day's exam
(having wasted the entire day before on a little premature end-of-exams celebration with monty
and lion. Their parents were out of town, can you blame us?). Anyway i grope around for the damn
thing and shut it off. Balls if you think I'm getting up at the first alarm.
06:10hrs- Finally get up after a severly annoyed call from my mum. This is after two more alarms
went off to a loud round of cursing of course.
06:25hrs- Am dressed and open my books to study over breakfast. Still full from yestersay's
binging so decide to skip breakfast. Go without tea in the morning for what is probably the first
time in years.
06:30hrs- Abandon books to watch a rerun of friends. Seriously, at exam time, I tend to find
wall-watching fascinating.
07:00hrs- Switch the T.V off and study or watch Seinfeld? Oh right! I saw the same episode last
night.Silly me. It's a good episode, I should see it again.
07:30hrs- I finally leave the house and I swear my mum's over there thanking everything she can
think of.
08:30hrs- Exam starts.
09:15hrs- I've finished. Am I that clever? Not really, It's not difficult to finish a paper quickly when you have nothing to write.Oh don't think I'm awful. The TYs actually asked the teacher if their's was the right paper. They couldn't find anything familiar in it. Gee, I wonder how they did?Anyway, there's more than an hour left and I have to meet my friends after so I can't leave. So, I decide to write down answers that I actually know in the spaces I left for the questions I didn't know the answers to. For example, I didn't know the applications of Object Oriented Programs (OOPs) so I wrote down the advanages of it instead. I'll get no marks for that buthey it was something to do.
09:45hrs- OK. Finished that. Now what? So I go back to the start of the paper and start underlining everything.
10:15hrs- I can't take it anymore and there's barely any place left on my paper so I leave.
10:30hrs- The last of my friends are done. We make plans to go to Lonavala after the Pracs next
week and then I have to leave.
10:40hrs- I'm at the bus stop. Teacher's called some animator friend of her's to col to give us
an all day seminar and I have to get there by 11:30.
10:50hrs- Still at the bus stop.
11:15hrs- Where the fuck is the bus????????
11:25hrs- I've had enough and take the first bus going anywhere near college and take a rick from
there.
11:50hrs- I finally get to col and the guy's checking out some of guano's stuff and giving him
tips. Crap! Riiiiiiiight......... the stuff we were supposed to bring.... about that.....
12:00hrs- Start looking for some of my old models to show him. Everyone else is like oh show that
face you made.. no not this one.... nah, i remember you modified this.... no, not this one....
12:10hrs- Still looking. Thing is we're kinda paranoid. We save our changes every two minutes and
we keep making back up files every time we do something particularly good. Like if I'm modelling
a face and I finally get the nose right, I'll save the file and make modifications from there on
in a new file. The problem is when I 'save as' I don't bother thinking up a new name so I just
add a couple of alphabets to the existing name so I end up with files called s ss sss beard
beard1 beard2 beardp3 and stuff. You can see how it's difficult for me to find any one file.
12:15hrs- Finally found something worth showing and he said it was good. Yay!!!!!! He gave us
a couple of good suggestions though.
13:30hrs- We break for lunch. Guano's mum made biryani so yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
14:00hrs- we're back.
14:15hrs- He's back and wants to know if we practiced any of the stuff he showed us. yeah right.
17:15hrs- We finally stop and teacher and the dude leave. Ugh, by this time I'm giggling like I'm
high. Thing is when I get tired I find everything absolutely hilarious and I'd just spent the
entire week getting by on 4 hours of sleep a day and my exams just got over so you can imagine
how out of it I was by then.
17:30hrs- Guano, Horse's ass, Purple freak and I are at Gokul eating ice cream. Did you know that
licking a lollipop in public gets you stared at quite a bit?
18:30hrs- I'm finally home.
20:15hrs- My dad goes out and gets me some of my favourite vegetable pulao from that place I
love.
22:00hrs- I'm dead to the world.
Is this the end of it? Can our brave heroine finally get some well-deserved rest? Will her dreams
of a Sunday morning swim followed by a yummy lunch and afternoon napping come true?
You think?
Bloody fricking getting up late, damn waxing session, have to go for mass, stupid practical exams
next week
...... extended bout of grumbling continues.....
Sigh. I love my life. I'm not being sarcastic. I really do love my life.
Doesn't stop me from wanting to kill faff-a-lot Lei though.
