Surviving (barely) Highschool!

Hey, I am back peeps! So the past two years have been a roller coaster ride but at last, I am off that and likely heading for another one. So I guess this blog  is going to be a rant about my ahem thrilling, sleep deprived and bumpy experience.

You know, after 10th, when you are riding high due to excellent performance in  boards and thinking that  cracking PCM  for engineering will be a piece  of cake? Yeah well if I had a Time Machine, I would have gone back to  naive 15 year old self and shook her hard like what were you thinking girl !? 

See the journey started deceptively well  with  kinematics and mole concept. Then we hit rotational motion and advanced trigonometry. And it gets better! From there on it was a mainly downhill  with redox  reactions, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and then a rollercoaster experience with organic chemistry and coordinate geometry to top it all off.   Thereafter  it was a blur of weekly  tests , school exams and Lab practice  which I was surprisingly good at. My brain became a saltless soup  frothing with  formulas and principles which were of NO HELP at all! Anddd  then, all of a sudden I was in 12th which was like an uphill climb with no peak in sight.  It started from matrices and solutions and went all the way to integration and don’t even get me started on inorganic chemistry. How am I supposed to learn the color of like a thousand precipitates!! Add my mom’s nagging and my dad’s passive aggressive taunts into the mix and yes, it is as head ache inducing as you are imagining it to be.

Now, I am not saying I was a model student (you  can’t exactly be when you have as much backlog to cover) but come on, what use do I have of the properties of zinc blende in my life! My boards definitely went better then expected, all the all nighters I pulled a month before the exam came in handy. And of course that included PE theory. Now see, PE is meant to be fun, it is literally the only thing that triggered full attendance on Thursdays in  school.  So along with unneeded organic reactions we also had to  rattafy different types of bone and their fractures.

Then comes January and exams like JEE, GUJCET , BITSAT descend from hell  heaven, each adding a gray hair on my head (whoever said they were easy, you have a whole ‘nother thing coming for you) and then finally a sigh of relief when it is all over in May. Then year was officially over (well not until I got my leaving certificate from school but pishhh who cares). And now, I am free, free at last! Thank God Almighty, I am free at last! Now its time for post exam sleepins and netflix series until, my mom eventually gets tired of my face lazing around the house ropes me into some  chore nobody ever enjoys.

These two years may not have taught me a lot of physics or chemistry or math but it did teach me to appreciate things like a full nights' sleep, checking exam schedules thrice (its a long story), morning walks and i can't believe i am saying this, but, khichadi (it is incredibly light on the stomach and tastier versions can definitely be prepared). But now I am back with my concerning humor and sarcasm and my unregular updating schedule (yikes), you are not getting rid of me any time soon! (at least till college)

Do share your experiences over the past two years years in the comments. See you soonnn. Logging out..ciao!
