New beginning!

Finally! I've finished my Intermediate successfully and landed up in St. Francis again. Yeah, again. I was in Francis all my life, right from my Kindergarten to High School in St. Francis Girls High School and then Intermediate in St. Francis Junior College. You see, I'm a loyal kid, and Francis is a great place to be in! :-D

And now I chose St. Francis again for my Graduation. I never had any confusion about it, listing down the colleges where I'd want to join, doing the research work and stuff, no, never done that. It was crystal clear. St. Francis it is.

Meanwhile, in that little gap between the 12th grade Boards and the results, all my friends and the people in 12th went through these hectic coaching classes for their competitive exams. Science, Arts, Commerce, any subject, every subject, some or the other exam was waiting for them. 12th grade right, quite an important one. The one which will decide one's career. Morning to evening classes, weekly mock tests, online tests, self-assessments, grand tests, this test, that test! Uff! So many tests, so many exams! That too at the cost of summer vacations. Summer vacations! :-( Only I know how it is to forgo your vacations when you've made amazing plans! Even I had to go for these classes in the summer. Ugh! The sun, the heat, the traffic, it was fun but, not to forget the people without whom my classes wouldn't have been the same. No phone calls, no texting, no chatting on facebook, and the reason is, "Sorry, I've got a class now."  At a stretch people even ventured to write each and every entrance exam that exists in this world! I'm not kidding, there are people who wrote ALL of them. Almost every night at odd times I receive these phone calls and texts saying - "Classes are sooo tiring. I just hope I crack my exam!" "I have to get into the top school! I have so much to study!" and few hours before the exam -  " All the best! :D Do well" "My exam today, pray for me!" "Let's party after the exam!" After putting all those efforts and slogging the syllabus, when it's time to give the exam, its like tension is the only thing you can feel, everyone around you look very confident and ever-ready for the exams. All you'll want is to finish the exam and get the heck out of the exam center. Personal experience. :-P That moment you do the last bit of the exam and submit your paper, ah, the relief is indescribable! :-D The buzz outside the center about the exam and a bunch of your friends inquiring things on how did the exam go, how easy and how tough was the paper, and in between the phone again keeps you busy with calls and texts from every person who knows that you've written the exam asking how well you wrote the exam, and the rest, the party freaks planning for the post exam bash and stuff. When on facebook, all the messages showed me a similar sentence "How was your exam?" But the only thing my brain kept telling me is that I needed some rest. Sleep, a panacea for me at that time and so I did follow my brain's word and slept for endless hours. Bliss, is the word! :-P 

Exams, over. Results, oh god! Status updates, changes in the info on facebook, yelling on the phones "I got through the exammmm!!" extra smileys with the texts. Getting into those top notch schools and colleges ain't child's play no, and results = hardwork. So proud, so happy. :-D Now a new phase of life awaits us all. Fun filled, adventurous, the one which you can never forget. Great campuses, new environment, new friends, new challenges, and ofcourse the canteen! :-P  Few days at Francis and I already have stories to tell! :-P Wishing best of luck to all the under grads. for a great future. :-D 

'Cause it's a new beginning. :-)
