sorry. reneging on promises to self, etc. however, must inform you that you are to proceed to the a13a class blog (link on the right) immediately, for some comic relief.

also, diwali's been fun and i'm totally guilty of relaxing Way. Too. Much.

weird-ish party last night. much dysfunctionality, blasphemous amounts of alcohol and two very boring very socially inept NTU guys. originally from delhi. and they are unable to look girls in the eye. and i thought delhi people were generally an agreeable variety. ah whatever. the party only got fun after they left. and observing people being drunk has to be one of the most amusing occupations ever. i rather like being largely anti-alcohol, it gives you such an amusing perspective. which is why i claim sober duty for prom. ok not anti-alcohol. i just don't really get what the big deal is. screwdrivers taste like orange juice, martinis smell like nail varnish remover, vodka burns your throat, i don't like the smell of wine. margaritas and mai tais not bad. anyway point: not fantastic enough to lose out on seeing people drunk. yay.

my parents were all ready to leave by 12 because i didnt'really want to go for the party. so they thought we'd come back early and i could study if i wanted. but i figured i wasn't really going to come back and study after all. so they gambled some more. my mom made big money and then she lost it. and then we left at 2-ish because i complained of sleepiness and needing to study today and my parents are sweet and overly concerned about my well-being so we left. if it'd been up to them they'd have been there another two hours, minimum. my parents are very nice to me during exam-time.

and i HATE when people flippantly tell me i'm a supergenius and that i shouldn't even be worrying about studying because i'm just that smart. it's like "poor little smart girl, what does she know about having to work hard." and the implications are all "look, she's a nerd okay?" i mean, that's the feeling i get. it's almost condescending. patronising, at any rate. bugs me.

it's much nicer when people just wish you all the best. and it was sort of cute when gayathri aunty this morning told me "we're all basking in your reflected glory." what reflected glory, i do not know. but whatever, it was sweet. god knows what my mom tells her about me. she says she's going to be expecting me for dance classes in december, so i guess there's no wriggling out of that. kelly says atleast it'll guarantee that i won't sleep away ALL of my 8 months. 9 months, actually. december to august, approx. wow i could have a baby in that time. uhh. yes. another post-As mission: get knocked up.

anywayyyyy. every year my parents try to get us to the temple bright and early on diwali but their parties and late nights make that near impossible. however i am proud to say that we got there before 11 today. and ran into gayathri aunty and various other people. andddd S in a sari, my mom was all "wow she looks so grown up why don't YOU wear a sari one of these days." ugh. i was perfectly happy in my cute polka-dotted salwar kameez. i love saris but i don't feel nearly old enough to wear them yet. they're like, ultimate symbol of adulthood.

ok yeah must go and do that studying thing i was talking about.

and don't forget to go see the a13a blog. funfunfun!
