When I longed to relive my childhood days, I wasn’t thinking of exams. I will never hope for such preposterous things again. Eight hours of squirming in the seat made me realize I have more patience than I thought I did. I fully expected to murder one of the proctors. I didn’t and I won’t discuss it further. It’s over, that’s all. Results will be out in four months and I fully expect you all to forget that I ever wrote an exam (seems like I never let you forget even if you want to). If I never bring up the topic again, please be prudent and never ask me what happened.
But weeks before the exam, I had already started dreaming of all the cool things I would be doing after. I will vehemently deny that my exam performance has anything to do with my daydreams that occupied more space in my mind than formulae. I had visions of the heavens bursting, the birds chirping my name and the world becoming a better place to live (read extra daytime minutes on my cell phone plan). You know something, nothing of that sort happened. This is worse than an anticlimax. The exam got over and I was like ‘Yay. Now what?’ You would think that all my friends whom I avoided on the studying pretext would form some kind of stampede to spend quality time with me. Nope. You would expect hubby to let me have all the money to go shop. Nope. You would expect my bathroom to self clean itself. No freaking way. I had to clean it myself.
I have been busier after the exam. Exam preparation served me with ample time to relax with my feet up and make excuses to do nothing but whine. It was actually wonderful. If my whole life were about preparing for non-existent exams, I would have postponed everything for the creature in my next birth. Now I am paying the price. All procrastinated things came back to haunt me at once. Need to meet new niece in DC, need to clean my ears so that I can wax my legs, need to cook, need to hatch plans on how to avoid cooking, need to get involved in professional societies for networking purposes (gag), need to buy clothes for new fatter me, need to find place for tighter clothes in hopes of using them soon, need to bike all around Chicago, need to repair bike, need to see if bike still exists, need to think if I actually own a bike, need to understand why I have a clock that shows Istanbul time, need to learn how to manage time and clocks.
So I am in the process of sorting life. Last time when I did that, I lost track of everything.

fishy: better not give me another thing on my to-do list. kuchi ice. now you better start blogging too since you have a page...blank sheets shouldn't be empty for too long or else we'll think the letters faded away.
shub: don't say that too fast..i thought i was done with exams after 3rd grade. but my parents wanted me to go for higher studies.
you should have gone for some vocational training then.
"hire studies" > "higher studies"

Alpha: New neice in DC? Wow.. brother is fast, is he? Or are we talking about scandals here? :D
s.b.- no exams being the key. i'd rather prefer vacational training.
anti: cousin's kid would qualify as niece i hope. it better not be my bro..there are somethings that would scandalise even me.
Ha! back to business eh?! So which game did you watch? The one sucky pirates won or the one what they do best, loosing?

Okay! You are seriously, seriously phunny. Past few days and some nights I have neglected my Dog, child and hubby(Yes, in that very order) to feverishly read all your posts dating from way back god-knows-when but it was all worth it. I laughed like I have'nt in a longish time.( Yup, I lead a boring life:-))
If you lived closeby here in Texas I would've abducted you and given you the place of honor in our living room( where our TV stands).Keep writing.
Oh, we have a fantaic, brewing....
vc: finally i can do your eyebrows!
deepa: awww.so sweet you be. Thanks. Such honor to get abducted. I don't think I can flicker and blare like a TV. I do turn off though.
dna: what is a fantaic?
Nitpicking...bah!
What's the title supposed to mean? You're in the process of sorting life, and not garbage, surely?
parmanu: When life starts resembling a garbage salad (there is something like that in the menu that I have eaten recently. people eat anything)... it probably should be devoured without seperating the lettuce from the mushrooms.
garbage sorting can be profitable too. I might find my other shoe.
Hmm...
Congratulations on finishing your exams.Will surely make it a point to ask you the result in 4 months time. :P
Now I hope, we will see frequent posts as you are technically "free". ;)
