"HELLOOO!!!!! anyone home?" I cried,waving my arms in front of her, now desperate for attention.
'YES! but we'll never get to college on time if you keep doing this!", she snapped stooping to look for the pin I had made her drop.
'But don't you feel happy about it? Imagine, never having to study anatomy again after these exams!
No more substages every other week. No stages! And best of all no more sitting in that stinking DH having to watch "the DISSECTOR" mutilate those bodies!" I replied.
"Next year will be all fun! going to the hospital! that would be like sooo cool!"
"Well you'd better start studying if you want to pass this last stage of your life!" , she said with a grin.
"Plenty of time!" ,i replied already moving on to another topic.

The night before stage........

"J.J WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP AND STUDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
That was my other roommate. I don't get along very well with her. Professional jealousy I guess. After all I am a genius.Plus i'm prettier, so there!!!
And well I got thrown out of my room.I wandered around for a while, found out what all the juniors were up to*that was most interesting trust me, but another time I suppose!*
and by eleven finally tired of all that "looring" (wandering here and there aimlessly) as nanaabu would have called it, I retired to my room to check whether the atmosphere had cleared a little.
It was a little better since our neighbors were there and she couldn't say anything in front of them so I decided to sit down like a good little girl and meekly start studying.
12 o clock....

aaaaaaarrrrrggggggggghhhh
I didn't know a thing! I swear I had studied everyday but now I had no idea what was in the stage tomorrow!!!!
MOMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I called home ofcourse, and guess who happened to be home for the weekend.....HIM!!!
My baby brother! all relaxed and prepared for his own stage which for your information is still a week away! And then it started!
The gloating! I can't even talk about it ! It makes me feel sick!
So i decided to check on my friend .
and guess what? she too had finished! and was just waiting to start her sermon so I ran away from her too!
Was I in trouble!!!!!!
...........
..........
..........i studied all night just to understand you
is that all right
i studied all night
just to get you in my mind...................
.............
I sat down to study. And trust me i studied like i'd never studied before. I drew up notes, made diagrams and by 5 o clock it seemed like I would pass.Goodie!!!
Fifteen minutes before stage
eeeeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!! I'd fallen asleep and half my syllabus was still left!!!Ten minutes, later puffy eyed and yawning,I was dragging my sorry self to college.
The papers were handed out .One look at the paper was enough to tell me that i was doomed!
My brain had turned to mush. Anything and everything that i had ever studied about the brain seemed to have flown out of my auditory meatus and out the window. The only thing that was registering was............
...........................I would have to give the stage again! Bummer!!!
However right then i was faced with a slightly different dilemma! How to while away the time in the lecture hall without falling asleep. So here's what i did.....................
- doodled on my paper
- peaked a little next door to see question no 6.( i just needed a little hint to figure it out)
- had forty winks
- made a list of things i wanted to do in the hols
- made a paper plane of my paper
- doodled on my desk
- read the jokes written by a student like me, on the desk
- checked out what everyone in my one meter radius was wearing
- doodled some more
Finally!!!!! Half time! And i was allowed out! As no one else was in sight so i quietly made my way to the hostel to catch up on my sleep.
..................
Half an hour later
'' That was the EASIEST stage exam ever!!!!", exclaimed my friend bursting into the room,"and the LAST one too!"
................yeah .......i know................whatever.........................
