Life without the Internet is, in short, harrowing. For a person who would spend all her evening hours from seven to twelve online on a daily basis, fighting for Internet time with too-Internet-savvy-for-their-own-good family members can hardly be called light evening entertainment. Add to that mix a mother who insists that she will look you up on Facebook, and a father who refuses to let you get a net connection of your own but will disrupt the little time that you do get online and what you get is irritation of epic proportions – such great proportions that you stop going online at all and let the blog of your life remain uncared for and unattended for months.
And then there are the viruses. I get sick at this time of the year every single year. It is as though the viruses regard my body cells as their perfect pre-Puja holiday destination. After about a week of keeping me very ill, when they find that their welcome has turned cold, they are chased away by bed-rest, only to return the next year with equal enthusiasm.
This year there are mid-terms as well, and I won’t bring the issue of how many marks they are for so that my blood pressure remains under control. Yes, college has been giving me hypertension ever since the new management took over and insisted upon inflicting a ridiculous number of even more ridiculous rules upon us students. Dreary, the experience has been, and I cannot wait for the few years that are left to be over soon.
There is an exam tomorrow, of course. Otherwise I would certainly not have been so desperate to write as to break my over-a-month-long vow of literary silence. Not that it was voluntary, but well, I don’t feel like uploading my blog much using Opera Mini, that’s all. It is not as much fun as the ‘normal’ way when I would get to respond to comments and browse through other blogs as much as I’d wanted. Sigh.
I’ve decided to bake lots of chocolate cake during the holidays. I will be trying to bribe my father with these so that he’ll be more amenable to me getting my own net connection (which I will insist on paying for) so that I am given the privacy to work in peace. I hope my plan works! Till then, it is back to Immunology. LD out!
End: 1:10 p.m.
PS: My birthday (about a month back) was loads of fun! It was much, much better than last year’s when I had a raging temperature on the day itself. I had a great time, was treated like royalty by loved ones, pampered as hell (a rarity, that) and wasn’t much too bothered by what I could not have. :D Since I couldn’t update last month, I’ll do it now as I want there to be a reminder. :]
