Today marks a short break from hectic exam preparation and it was with an odd sense of finality-cum-insert that word that I handed in the physics paper. However, unlike last time, there is no picture of the question paper to share (I had a supplementary sheet to do all my frantic derivations-of-formulae-I-should-ideally-have-known-off-the-top-of-my-head and double-checking multiplications for no real reason.)
Anyhow, I haven’t been a 100% satisfied with the outcome of the pre-boards thus far. My preparation and, consequently, my performance has been to a certain degree lackadaisical. And since I can’t have that going on the permanent record (read school mid-year report), I’m going to be giving some of the re-tests being arranged for people who failed the first round of pre-boards. For those who are interested – the exams will be held Monday onwards. I haven’t got my hands on a datesheet as of yet, but will try to do that soon.
Meanwhile, here’s another picture I took over the weekend. The scene is one shrouded in darkness, and illuminated by the sole table lamp on my table, which is littered with stuff I have been trying to stay put in my brain. But it hasn’t worked. My brain, it seems, is like a colander. If you don’t know what a colander is, here’s a picture just to make things clear.
As for the picture I was talking about, here:
You can see the problem can’t you? The one right in the middle.
I guess I have a problem with concentrating on things. Anyway, I’ll be going to school a bit to clear some odd doubts here and there.

Dare I say but you forgot to close the bracket. Not a big deal; still, where? Now, that’s the part of it.

I noticed 42 milliseconds after I clicked on “Publish”. And since this would involve re-editing the picture in Paint (Photoshop is on the fritz), I honestly couldn’t be bothered. But thanks anyway, keen-eyed anonymous nice person.

Hah, not only the picture. And, keen-eyed anonymous nice person, eh? I hear you, anyway.

Ah. That one.

What missing parenthesis are you referring to my good man/woman.

Uh. That killed the conversation. o.O
Alright, for the sake of anonymity – I guess this’ll be my last comment.
Heh, nice input there – operation “Soaring Eagle”. I say keep up the hard-work. Two months before I’d a similar idea with other not-so-relevant stuff. Big thing on top of the home screen. But, anyway. Wish you all the best!

I’m assuming you’re a fellow applicant to some US universities, in which case I wish you the best of luck as well! Don’t be a stranger.
