Hi again! It's me, Aditi (peanut) again...in case you've forgotten. Its been a while since i blogged, so I just thought i'd say hi to all of u who are still part of the blogging world. School's in full swing with LOADS of tests and assignments to do, all on topics I am supposed to understand but actually don't have the least bit of a clue about. The inter-school cultural event that our school hosts (Kalanjali Ventures) was on Friday and Saturday and I had a really great time. Jimmy (Chinmayi) came to judge the light music event...i hope she had fun... Since this is our last year in school, i hope we do really well in all the culturals. I want to sing well...at least win the music event in one of the culturals... MY DAD'S IN TOWN!!!!!!!!! = D =D...im sooo happy...the last I saw him was in october some time...its too cool having him here! Im seriously having some major doubts about whether im gonna get past the board exams. I really don't understand anything in any subject despite all the million tuitions im going for (except math...thank god for Vasantha Miss...she's the BEST) I really don't know what im gonna do... anyway...i should go study...there's a massive chem test tomorrow(of course, in phy and chem, you do really badly regardless of whether you study or not) I'll blog later Love u all!!!! MUAH! (sorry im in a weird mood)
Hi everyone = )...school started today, and believe it or not, it wasn't too bad. Actually, (I cant believe I'm saying this) it did feel kinda nice to be back in school with everyone. Today was my last first day of school!! Seriously, I can't believe it. 12th standard is going to be soooooo busy...the year seems so long now, but I know that just like every other year, this year is going to just fly by...and then voila! What do you know, I would've finished school! Perhaps the 4 years of my life so far have been spent here in Chennai, the most part of which was spent in our very own BVM. Despite all the cribbing I do about life in general (read my previous blogs), I really really love our school, and I am going to be extremely sad to leave it. I did love living in the US, but I've had a superb time here, and I don't think I would have ever enjoyed life there as much as I do here. I'm so happy we came back to India. I recently spoke to one of my best friends in the US, and its almost scary. The conversation went something like this: My Friend: "Like, OH MY GAWD!!! Adi, I can't like believe its you! I haven't talked to you in like...forever!!!" Me : "Yeah I know! So...how are you??" Her : "I'm good...u?" Me : "Yeah I'm fine. School is starting soon.... (and blah blah...). So you tell me...how's xxx ?(xxx being a friend of ours there) Her : "Yeah...he's good..." Me : "Oh ok...how's everyone else there? How's school?" Her : "Everyone's good. School's...well...ya know...i guess its good..." Me : "Oh ok. Is there anything thats not 'good'? Her : "HAAHAHAHA!! You're, like, the FUNNIEST!! Yeah...well..everything is good...u know..." And so on... Seriously, I can't thank my parents enough for bringing me back here to India. I'm loving the country more with every day I spend here, and now, I'm quite certain that I will never settle anywhere other than India. Life here is just so full. There's nothing missing. It's so...right! So here I am now, just having started my 12th standard. I'm really quite nervous about this year, and generally nervous about what life has in store for me. But its more of an excited nervousness. So I guess we'll see....
My chemistry tuition starts again tomorrow after a 3 week long break. Physics starts on saturday. From now until the beginning of March '06, I've got physics and chemistry tuition twice a week for one and a half to two hours, and math tuition four days a week.
And so, now I'm wondering, with so many tuitions, whats the point of going to school? Aside from the attendance required to write the board exam, I see no logical reason. Tuition is supposed to supplement what one learns at school, but that's far from what's happening. Tuitions don't supplement, they teach it all over again. From A to Z. And often, I hear, different chapters will be taught simultaneously at tuition and at school. So why bother with both? The general consensus is that tuitions are much more beneficial, but because of the reason mentioned above, it is necessary that one attends school. The point of going to school is to be taught everything that is necessary to pass the board exam. So why has it become a necessity to go for tuitions?
