THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT

DISCLAIMER: everything happens for good.so better this has something good in store for me!

Right now I am having the worst of my time. I gave my last paper of my last semester last week. I was relieved thinking that finally I can rest in peace. But it seems the ONE sitting above had some great plans chalked out for me.

My dreaded project report came after first round of corrections..and guess what the correction was? Any guesses?? Ok, no probs..i will tell you…my mentor suggested one and only one change and I was devastated to hear that change. He asked me to stretch the report, to increase its pages. My eyes popped out on hear this. My face resembled a dead fish. The euphoria of last exam fizzled out on hearing this one blasting change. I, with a heavy heart lifted my report. I was too shocked to speak…how could he ask for the impossible! It took me lot of sweat and headache to prepare that much and now he is hungry for more (unfortunately I can’t dial dominoes here). With the report clutched in my hands and head buzzing with what to do next, I walked towards my vehicle , opened the boot and dumped my report into it! Yes! I did it! I just locked it away for some time. Then I went ahead to chill with my friends. I enjoyed that day, did the same the next day , repeated it the next day as well. Well….did that for a week! I deserve this break ..i hvnt chilled in a long time.

But now reality has stuck me. Since last two days I have been resting my ass and raking my brains to increase the pages of my dear report. Successful so far..but I cant help laughing at the irony of the situation. As part of our curriculum we are required to do the term work and submitting reports are part of it. In those reports we are strictly warned to keep the pages restricted which really needs efforts. ..and here we are asked to stretch it!
So here I am…busy making my sweet report a dump zone. Till yesterday I was brooding thinking that I am the only one doing this. But I am happy to know that I have company in this endeavor.

I am gearing up to go for the final kill on 1st May i.e. I have my viva that day..so pls pls pls pray for me…need cosmic help to sail through it..

Ciao…
