Another day goes by …

Th reason this post is called another day goes by is because I still haven’t started preparing for the CAT and GRE seriosuly. These are the two most important exams I have to take in my entire life. Still somehow, I haven’t been able to come to terms with the fact that nothing in life is easy, you need to work really really hard for it. Anyways, I am firm about studying atleast 2-3 hours in total today for both these tests, that’s something that should test my resolve, read will power.

The reason this realization is dawning on me today is for the simple reason that today I bought the CAT 2008 bulletin. Also filled the form for IIFT. Not keen on filling the form of MAT as I am aiming to get into JBIMS (toughest accrding to me) through it, (by getting a 100 percentile. hahaha) and they would not recognize the test scores from this edition of MAT. But seriously, despite the horrendous show in the last two AIMCATs, I guess people can make it to the IIMs or some other A rung college, er not easily, but its manageable. I have for example, found that my english section is pretty strong, the one most candidates are scared about. My quant on the other hand is suffering, something most others are very good at. DI, I believe depends on the day you take the exam. Seriously, after having as accuracy of 99% in one exam, it is quite disappointing to get 30% accuracy in another. Need to get more consistent with that.

Moving on from exams, am listening to songs by the

Thievery Corporation and Buddha Bar

right now. Amazing stuff. If you want to listen to something thats calm, soothing, yet enjoyable, lounge music types – Listen to these. No favourites as such, they are all instrumental, so each song has a different flavor and stuff.

I saw Jaane Yu … Ya Na Jaane again today.

I would rate the movie 4 on 5 – Fresh, fun and a lot of people can connect with it. Some things I didn’t quite like, the sudden change in pace as to how Aditi realizes she loves Jai – Too quick and the whole airport story background… I hate them. But then thats a personal opinion. College has officially started, but classes have not. Will go tomorrow as well, but then don’t expect classes to be held. Anyways, I would be studying for my GRE and CAT, not the college studies anyways, so….

Returned the enchantress of florence today. Turns out, people got to know about the new book releases and so it has reserves on it. The sea of poppies, the one I am currently reading had more than 4 reserves and the other book, the bastard of istanbul, which i had shortlisted, had already been issued. I didn’t expect that, acted fast and reserved it. Mr. Mahajan, who was accompanying me, could not get cool with the idea that I read books :) Clearly the wrong person to accompany you at the library.

Till next time….
