Surprise Holiday

I really like surprise holidays. Simply because you get to know just a few hours before that "school's gonna be closed tomorrow". And especially in this case, the school actually sent us e-mails to inform us about the holiday. Sweet!
So, it's a holiday today basically because of some trader's bandh due to which there are going to be agitations/protests (in other words, the usual) and our school's worried that we might be caught in the fray. One of the few times the school's actually worried about our safety. The nice bit is that since it's a 72 hour thing, even tomorrow might just be a holiday. But I mustn't get my hopes up.

Blogger's really been acting up the past few days - I had quite a bit of trouble republishing my blog. Also the comment counters on most blogs weren't updating themselves...sigh. You can read about the publishing prob here.

Excerpts from

October 24, 2006

Aah... how exciting. The electricity's gone. Except what's special this time about it's going is that the lights are off only where I'm sitting. The electricity's there outside - all around - it's even there in the living room part of the suite! But, no, I mean, why would it be there where I'm sitting?
N.B. I'm writing all this in the dark, so don't blame me for errors.

Oh, wait! Most of you guys don't know where I was when I wrote this. See, we had holidays (or what I call a well-deserved break) after the exams, so I'd gone to spend a few days in a place called the Country Club.

Anyway, needless to say, I didn't actually make any real errors as such. And I did have quite an enjoyable time, marred by the only fact that we didn't spend enough time there.

...Today I enjoyed quite a bit. Actually, now I come to think of it, I didn't really do anything much besides lazing around. The club's also changed quite a bit since the last time a came here (which was aeons ago, by the way). There's this nice house-made-of-wood which I rather like, for some reason. It has three stories and telescopes...

Well, actually, when I went there, there were only tripods for the telescopes. The telescopes were fixed only at night, something which I didn't come to know of until it was day again and they were removed.

..Well then, that's that.

Oh, and I (finally) read and bought (in reverse order) AF5. But more about that later.

One Month

Well, I seriously never expected that I'd not post for over a month! But, I dunno, we had exams and all, and for some reason, although I did come on the computer, I neither felt like chatting, nor posting on my blog for some reason.

Anyway, the exams were okay, not by far the best (or even close to it) that I've ever given, but who cares? I mean, it ain't even getting added anywhere. These exams were also the ones during which I slept the latest (I sleep late at night rather than get up early in the morning). And surprisingly, my maths exam went off quite well. Our teacher corrected the papers even before the exams finished .

We've got holidays now - although that didn't quite stop our biology teacher from giving us homework to be done now, two weeks before the exams had started. I'm really not in the mood of making stupid practical files.

***

We also had this really pointless MCQ Exam. They called us to school two hours before it started. 'Most everyone succeeded in solving the exam in round about half an hour, not that it really mattered, 'cause it didn't stop them keeping us in school for another hour after that. And of course, it wasn't the world's easiest exam, so I just chose 'B' where I didn't know the answers .

Our Principal had this really awesome idea of calling us for an assembly before our maths exam started. Then this rep from UNO came and then we took this pledge to fight poverty (); the pledge was really long, we had to repeat whatever P said, and when it finished, as was wont to happen, all the sixthies started repeating the next few lines, too.

***

I've been sleeping a lot ever since the exams finished. I woke up at 12:30 today (not the latest I've ever woken up, by the way).

***

Damn, I'm feeling so bored (and thus inflicting this boredom on you)...I'm also using Firefox 2 (Release Candidate). It's not that great, in fact I don't like the 'improved' tab-browsing...IE7 is also here...

Anyway, tschüs for now. When I get in the mood, I'll post again (or maybe update this one only). I'm pretty certain I've forgotten something.

And tell me how many of you have fonts from the Lucida family on your computer. Especially people not running XP.
