That Sinking Feeling

So, I'm done with almost all of my exams and without a doubt, this was a time I was really looking forward to for many days. This is the "put your legs up" and relax stage, after all the grinding of the past two years, but the very thought was I was not able to perform exceedingly well in any of the entrances, debilitates my usual enthusisam to a little extent. I have nearly perfected the art of not thinking about the results, deciding that they'll be faced with and worried about, only when they come up.

My JEE score is 156. The only thing which comforts me is the fact that, I didn't wield the axe on my own foot in JEE. I would have been a lot happier with a 170-180 score, but getting to 156 required luck and good accuracy, the two words from which I was hithertho, unfamiliar with. The less said about AIEEE, the better. Untimely change of pattern and difficulty level, a bit of nerves(a sense of deja vu there..eh..) amalgamated and the end product is not I would call, satisfying. My gut tells me that hoping for a college from JEE(keeping in mind, the increase in number of seats and ranks expected this year) would be a lot safer bet than depending on the evergreen AIEEE. As for UPTECH and NTU Singapore, only the results will unravel where I stand, because both went well. And ofcourse, BITSAT. 226. Some friend of Dad said that his colleague's son was currently pursuing BTech in Civil from Pilani, and had a score in this region. It isn't difficult to fathom though, that he got through after 2nd or 3rd counselling. Whether that's true or not, remains the millon dollar question, and how I wish it were true!!!

Killing time hasn't been a matter of concern. The highly addictve orkut, novels, tennis , tv and movies, take up most of my time these days, and I'm not complaining. I'm still prone to sudden bouts of loneliness, which I seem to think reside somewhere besides my head and decides to crop up just about when I begin thinking that life's not that bad!! Apart from that, my life is chugging along nicely. Will the bonhomie remain, or am I in for something hatt ke? Only three weeks is all it will take to get that question answered..Will be back with my board's results.
