It's over!!!

*trills a little song*

For months I'd wondered as to what my expression would be like when I walked out of that exam hall. Jubilant? Joyful? Triumphant? Befuddled? There was one thing I was sure of - I wasn't going to walk out of that place feeling like I knew nothing.
I studied. For the first time in my life, I honest-to-the-Gods studied. I wanted to, at that! The way our society works, the government works... They intrigued me. Just like, at some point in time, the fact that we walk because something tries to stop us from walking intrigued me. And I naively assumed that if I work, the rewards are going to come through. Luck, methought, was only a minor player. Haven't they all said stuff about how hard work gets you anywhere? Clearly, my definition of hard work differs drastically from what is the norm.

If they'd set an LST type of paper, which is impossible to finish and difficult to score in, I'd have been fine with it. What irks me most is that the paper tested NOTHING that even remotely translates to intelligence. English was fine. Math was ridiculous. Seriously, we've managed to get to the 12th grade! Don't insult us with questions like "What is the square root of 400?". GK was all about History. Legal "aptitude" was Legal GK. Logical Reasoning was legal studies oriented, with a little biology thrown in. It was all about memory. Every single aspect of the CLAT exam that I had assumed I'd be able to work out on the spot was, unfortunately, not part of the paper.

Gosh, I'm obsessed with this whole CLAT jazz. Can't write, talk or think about anything else... =( which is not the nicest thing during a holiday, seeing that I messed it up on a grand scale...

On a happier note, I got into Mount Carmel =D So I have some backup!

And it's tonnes of fun being jobless!

And tomorrow I shall meet PEOPLE!! It has been AGES since I met school folk! WooHoo!

*lalalalalaa*

PS: Want to know what I was singing at the beginning of this post? "Fix You" =(
