Lo and behold

I’m here! After months of debating, contemplating, in other words sheer laziness, I finally got myself to put my best foot forward. And that would be the left one.

You know how when you are bang in the middle of exams, you make up imaginary lists of everything else you would rather be doing than learning how to design a database for some make believe petroleum company? Well, now that I have so much time on my hands, watching Tom and Jerry re-runs and flicking marbles into the air doesn’t seem as enticing as it did a week ago!

I have taken up redecorating my house though. Partly because my mom very subtly indicated that she would have me shipped away if I continued to make a mess and partly because there are only so many times that you can bang into something each time you enter your room before thinking, hey maybe the stack of ironed clothes from 2 weeks back doesn't really belong right next to the door. Nor do the roller skates I pulled out for my 8 year old cousin to play with weeks ago. Ouch.

But among the more productive of my suggestions - I told my dad that my sister doesn’t really go with the ambience of the house, so I was wondering if he would consider trading her in for someone who was blonde! Judging from the look on her face, I think those roller skates might have been left there on purpose.

And I hate these stupid rains, my house has been converted into a mini-island of sorts with waist-deep water for the average human being. I say average human being, because those of you who who have seen me, know that I would probably sink in such a situation! So that rules out going anywhere other than my garage, and even there I need to proceed with caution. And to make things worse, even my brand new Sony phone is blue from the weather. It seems to turn off every time it begins to rain!

So much for the much-awaited holidays!
