A Breath Of Fresh Air.....

Just finished my board exams. You must be imagining that I must be very happy, screaming my lungs of etc. But its quite normal. One more exam of the endless number of exams that we, students give, has ended. I don't understand the hype created around the board exams. It was just one more exam for me. No additional pressure, no additional preparation and no ecstasy after they went on well. Weren't they supposed to?
The exams though were very frustrating, not because of the studies but because of our PARENTS!! Almost everyone's parents' had taken leave from their respective offices and they helped us in no way other than picking and dropping us, and putting pressure on us. We were not allowed to watch TV, not allowed to listen to music, not allowed to sit on the internet, nothing. Just study. They are correct to some extent. However, everyone needs a break and we were not allowed even to sit for 5 minutes after having lunch. "Last lap of the race, speed up, speed up" We all got so irritated of them that we wished they hadn't taken leave and we would be home, ALONE!" Seriously, after the boards, I promised myself that I would never tell my dad to be at home, as it adds to the tension and I am not able to study the way in which I want to.
I don't understand, they never used to be there when the school preliminary exams were going on. I studied in the way in which I wanted and I got good marks. However, in the case of the board exams, the attitude suddenly changes and here they are dictating to me time to take break, time to study etcetera. ( I guess you'll never knew the exact spelling of etcetera) What they failed to understand was that the board exams were as easy as any other exams, actually easier than most other exams. The only thing different about the board exams was that the stakes were higher. When it came to the board exams, they lost all trust in us.
Anyway its finally over now, and I have an enjoyable vacation to look forward to. And you'll can expect a lot more posts, now that I am free.

    Despite the fact that parents being around a little too much must have been a little more attention than you all bargained for, I think you know that they do it, only because they have your best interests in mind.

    ..........and you know what, as much as you all find it irritating now, I can safely bet that 20-25 years down the line, every single one of you will be putting your own kids through the very same thing.....That's life and where your parents stand today, you will be standing in the exact same place a couple of decades down the line.........hehehe
