First let's start with the good news. I passed the first year's exams. I know, I know I am making it a big thing. But it's big thing for me, if for noone else. Of course I don't know how much marks I have been able to secure but then I am hoping for the best. Let's see what happens in a week's time.
Most of the people think that I am a studious girl, but the truth is, I don't even work hard to get good grades. I just write in the exams what I have been able to understand, and until now, it has always worked. I hope the same will happen in the days to come as well. I don't need to work hard coz I am a student of literature, and in these sort of subjects, understanding and creativity count more than simply mugging things up. Now, I am not trying to say that I am a creative girl, not exactly.
I remember my school days when I always had hard times with maths and science. I was dumb at that. In fact I was really good at compulsory maths but optional maths scared me as hell. And science?? Was I ever interested to study that crap?? NO!!
In the send-up test of my tenth grade, I had secured only 56 marks in compulsory maths, and a little more in optional maths (I don't know how??) and despite that I had topped my class because the marks in other subjects like English, Nepali, EPH, Social Studies and Accounts had recovered the loss in both maths. Yeah, I was very good in Nepali as well. Especially my language was my strong point, and in all my exam paper, my teacher could find two 'raswa dirgha' mistakes!! Bimal sir, my Nepali teacher really appreciated me and my 'suddha' writings. I was good in English as well. The teacher who checked my English send-up test paper likes it so much that he photocopied it and distributed among his students, and later met me in my school. It was such an honour for me. Gone are those days... I have to work really harder than ever to get the same kind of honour again.
I remember that when I was in class nine, I and some of my friends took exams (Nepali and English) with class 10 students and although there would be questions from chapters not taught to us, we would score much higher than most of the class 10 students. By god, they were so jealous of us... and we were so proud. So were the teachers. I wonder where that zeal and enthusiasm got lost now.
Anyways, I still try my best not to compromise anything during exams, and while I write this, I remember that my exams are only a couple of months away. I should really work hard this time, much harder than in any exams I have taken till date, coz I have not been able to attend classes in the college regularly and I also don't have much resources for the journalism paper. I hope I will be able to manage it soon.
Unfortunately, some of my really good friends didn't get through the exams. Sooman doesn't know his symbol number, but I am sure that he has passed.
