It's been a good day! Despite the not-getting-past-council-interview thing. Actually I don't really care about it - maybe it'd be nicer to have the time that would have been taken away from me had I joined council. And it's not really a sour grapes thing, although it would have been nice to try my hand at it. But that's about it - it was never a lifelong dream that I would have given my life for, so I'm not crushed. Anyway the idea was that I'd try my luck if I got nominated, and just see how it goes. And I'm secretly relieved, in fact, that I now don't have to go through the trauma of campaigning. And I'm going to get half of the mudpie Shirin's treating Andi to =]
And the reactions from my Dad and from Chit when I smsed about the interview results, pretty amusing -
Dad: "Don't let it get you down, ok?"
Chit: "What?? Why?!"

There was some other stuff I wanted to remember to blog about, but I have forgotten.

Let me recount my day gastromically.
Hunger and French toast led to ponning math, which led to anexcellent encounter in the computer lab.
And then during the REAL break, I caught up with Shirin over aloo paratha, and bits of Jen's brownie. Lots of fun, and I acquired Topshop vouchers!
And despite all that my tummy started growling during Lit.
And then after school shopping-with-Viv plans got cancelled, so I decided to join the class for our Tuesday Tea at Delifrance. (And got reminded along the way that TS is actually a nice guy.)
But I had a craving for chocolate cake, so I decided to stop by Secret Recipe.
Secret Recipe has the most GORGEOUS chocolate cake in the WORLD. It's really moist and soft and comes surrounded by warm liquid chocolate which is really very fatty, but it tastes like heaven. So Soph went with me, and I had to sit down there and have it because it doesn't deserve to be packed up and had. And then right when I was about to finish the cake, it started pouring. So I bought a pumpkin soup since I was still hungry.
And by the time the rain stopped reasonably and I'd finished my soup, the class had left Delifrance so Soph and I walked to my place (she fondly calls it her 'base near school' now.)
And my mom's friend dropped by and gave us a HUGE dish of baked pasta with lots of cheese, and mushrooms and spinach pasta and all! So sweet of her. But I couldn't finish, and I don't like pepper so I gave it to Soph.

And then Soph had to go back for the council campaignees' meeting, so I checked the post for the first time in a week, and found nothing interesting. Now Minty's coming over for dinner, and bringing me the DVDs she bought in Bali! And we're meeting up with Aditi Nim too, yay!

Reminder to self: Must buy First. Johnny Depp is beautiful.
