f%#k f*@k f&^k!!

had what should be the last exam of my life on monday.. 'Polymeric Biomaterials'.. and i did what i always dreamed of doing.. went in for the paper partly drunk, partly stoned and fully hammered! whatever it is, it worked.. cos 18 minutes of warp-speed writing later, i was done!! so there i was celebrating my newly-found independence from all things graduate school-related.. when i remembered that i still had an oral exam on friday too.. but as long as the oral was not conducted over the phone by a stranger (see post on 11th Dec. for explanation!!), i knew i was gonna do okay.. so i shunted it out of my mind..

and now here i am on thursday night, 10:02 bloody p.m., i just started reading an hour or so ago, the 'Biomaterials Science of Cell-Surface Phenomena' oral exam is tomorrow afternoon.. its a one hour marathon.. a deck of roughly hundred question-cards.. you have to answer at least 25 correctly to ace it.. i had cracked a similar exam in the first part of this course last semester.. hence the overconfidence..

i'm looking at the huge pile of notes still in front of me.. all disorganised, scribbles running all over the page.. doodles, cartoons and revolutionary ideas scramble for space with the notes.. its so much more fun to read what my drink-n'-drug-addled brain can come up with during classes.. and i feel i'm gonna end my graduate school days the same way i lived all my college life.. with a bottle of beer in one hand, a cigarette dangling off my lips, thesis safely scrunched up in the back pocket of my jeans, and a huge f*%king smile on my face!! :-)
