Exams over at last!

I had my first “Revision Test” at school from 21st to 25th. What a relief it is to finish ‘em. I have successfully messed up every subject other than English. Even Computer Science :|

I hadn’t ever used inheritance (in C++). So messed up a 4 mark question. And then, this output question

Q. Write the output for the following code:

int x=5, y=5;
cout << x--;
cout << ", ";
cout << --x;
cout << "\n";
cout << y-- << ", " << --y;

Innovative Studying

This is one of the newest things that has happened to me, whenever I get bored studying, I start doodling all over the papers :|

Recently, I was studying about oxides of Nitrogen. I started getting excited when I read one of them was explosive. LOL! Here is a pic of my notes on it:

N20 + H2 -> BOOM!

Bad Night

Aargh! What a bad night I had.

It all started at 7 PM yesterday. Power cut for half an hour. I was studying with lot of concentration (which is a reare phenomenon) when the power went off. I brought the emergency lamp to my study err.. bed and tried. But I had lost all my concentration. Aargh!

At 7:30, they came with out brand new inverter. I hate such stuff, now there won’t be any more free time during power cuts. They kept doing some crap until 9:30 when it finally got fixed. Till then, I wasn’t able to do learn anything as the kept on playing with the current supply. After they left, I had my dinner, checked gmail and went to study.

After that, I don’t remember a thing. I’ll tell you what my dad told me. My dad had told me to study till 12:30 AM. I started studying at 9:50 and when he came to my room at 10:45, I was sound asleep, lights on, blankets on, lying on top of my books. He woke me up and told me if I wanted to sleep now, I’ll have to switch on the alarm for 6 AM. Seems I agreed and then slept again. Read more

What’s up?

Well, been really busy these days due to tests everywhere. We are having physics tests at school every Tuesday and at my entrance coaching institute, it’s been a test season.

Actually, there was something I was really working for - to be selected for intensive coaching at my entrance coaching institute. We had a few tests for that and my brain failed to give the right output at the right time. :( I cleared the cut-off marks in physics and chemistry, but missed by a margin of 15 marks in maths.

These were my stats:

Maths: 9 correct, 12 wrong

Physics: 12 correct, 10 wrong

Chemistry: 11 correct, 7 wrong

Due to 31 negative markings, unfortunately, I failed to qualify. Not there’s one more test coming up anytime next week. So till it’s over, I won’t be seen online. I think I’m getting desperate to get into it. Read more

New Plan and How it’s Failing

Due to my busy schedule, I’m not getting time for any other activity other than studies. Especially exercise, which is necessary for a (unhealthy) person like me. So I thought of doing some extreme cycling in the early morning.

I woke up yesterday, at 6:00 AM, changed into something ‘the exercise type’ and left (without informing anyone of course!). I had no clue what route I was taking, to get to strain my body a bit. Just went casually towards the sea side. At one junction, I saw another guy on cycle who was turning and going back from where he came. I just thought of going in the same direction. I guess he thought I was challenging him to a race or something and he started pedaling like crazy. What can I do on a cycle with a half inflated tyre? We rode a long way and all I could do was maintain a 10 m gap. He turned and went back to the junction again. I proceeded. Then suddenly, I felt this urge of doing something challenging. I didn’t want to race that guy again coz I have bad racing experiences, where either I or my rival just missed accidents. I thought I’d race him some other day. But now, I wanted to do something challenging… Hmm… what about the bridge? Yeah! That’s what I needed. Read more

My New Schedule

Here is a small update about my new schedule (Since Monday):

Wake up at 5:00 AM. Switch off alarm. Sleep. Wake up at 6:00 AM. Phew! I get ready for school in the next hour and leave at 7 AM.

At school, It’s extra classes nowadays (Only for X, XI and XII). They have created a stupid schedule. Class starts at 7:45 AM. We sit through the torture till 9:30 AM. Then we get a break of 15 mins. Then we sit through another boring period till 11:30. And then again, after a 15 min break, till 1:30 PM. Ugh! So hectic. It gets so boring that I keep slipping into Stage 1 and 2 of sleep (:P).

On Mondays and Wednesdays:
I reach home at around 2:00 PM. Spend 10 mins eating and waste the next 20 mins. Then I leave for entrance coaching. I reach Talent-Sindia at 3:00 PM and spend time talking till the classes start at 3:30 PM. These are the only classes I enjoy. Read more
