Ok. So I have thought of sitting for GRE. Graduate Record Examination. AAAAAAAAAA....
At the ripe old age of 26, I have to sit for another exam????? Why God Why??? What the heaven is Thy problem, O Lord?? I soooo try to find some stability in my life and You have made it a mission to keep shaking me up. Man plans, God laughs. Hah! I mean, didn't I work hard enough to reach my goals, to pursue my dream, sacrifice enough to build this career? Nobody gave me this on a platter. For my M.A., I used to study in the bus while going to office, in the bathroom at night so that my roomies were not disturbed, attended classes early morning and then went to office every Sunday, wrote those pages and pages of assignments... and I finally finished my Masters. My goal. But now that I am going to enter another uncertain period in my life, i have to go through this all over again! *groan*
But I need to have a back up plan. If i don't get a job in case I move with A to the US, then I can at least study with these scores. Provided I get good ones. OK now, focus Rimli. Since I have to write the exam, I thought I should start preparing now. So I went to a book shop today.
The first big step was buying a guide book, coz God help me, i really need some guidance. It is a big fat Barron's guide book, with a CD, and no matter how put off I was, it is still a new book and that brought a smile to my face! In all my enthusiasm, the next step was to write my name on the book, like i always do (wow, i just realised i really need to brand everything. i am not a control freak, i am not a control freak. Really.) Anyway, after writing my beautiful name in my beautiful handwriting, i started to scan the contents. Drum rollllllllllll Bang! :-O *I am feeling very overwhelmed*. But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. So i told myself again what an awesome person i am and that there is nothing i cannot do if i set my mind once. And with that i took the final and most important step ---(). Did i hear someone say "Study"? No silly, i made a time table. Making a time table is the most indispensible part of doing anything successfully. You write the time and the chores, and promise yourself that you will follow it. So i made an elaborate routine and i hope it doesn't go kaput like my elaborate meditation plans. Ommmmmmmmmm........
Well, I will start studying tomorrow onwards, let's see what happens, studying Math after a decade. I don't know what will be my results. But YOU. Mr/Ms God. You have somehow given me an unbearable amount of mental strength--so I will give my 100%. I work best when someone challenges or dares me to do something. So I challenge myself---life, you are daring me to ace GRE? Wait and watch.

My friend, now that you have already made a time-table and braced yourself to start studying math after a decade, my first advice to you would be... pluck the sheet with "Manmohan's 10 commandments" from behind your terminal and take it home...paste it where you sit and study... and you will definitely excel...amen. ;)
oh woh ten commandments!!! uff simple conversions piss me off and now i wil have to study pages and pages of numbers?! i hate numbers!
Hi just the thought of you trying to get re-acquainted with all those lovely maths problems makes me break into a sweat.I am absolutely sure i would never be able to do it. Hope everything goes according to plan for you!
Oh I know J, Y should I be examined on the basis of a few sums, words which i will probably never use in day-to-day life, and weird-looking graphs?? I refuse to be judged!!!
You are a journalist and I wonder why GRE for a Journalist. Anyway, I like the way you young are able to express yourselves; I mean you. I am impressed with the hard work put in by your gen. to achieve their goals. But it is also important to enjoy all the moments, as you walk along the path of life. Hope I am not intruding.
