Last Minute Paranoia

OK, I knew this was coming so why am I so hyper?
Why, you ask? Let me fill you in.
I am in tenth standard, the final year of school. In a little more than a month from now, my board exams will begin. I have vowed to study, and am starting to do that.
Also tomorrow is my farewell party. The farewell party. Something every kid looks forward to from the time they enter school.
And it's this little tradition all over Mumbai that a girl must wear a saree for her farewell, symbolic of her 'Becoming a Lady'. It's like this kind of unwritten rule.
And then there's me, ever the rebel, who decided I would not wear a saree, I would wear something else, and look spectacular. Girls have been getting their sarees ready in the ninth standard. Farewell is tomorrow, and I still haven't decided what I'm going to wear.
I'm comforting myself, I have loads of branded clothes that I've shopped for in the past four months, over half of them have never been worn by me.
Anyways, I'm sure even P!nk must have been slightly nervous about the hairdo she was sporting at the 2006 MTV VMAs. I know I can pull this off, even though every (and I mean EVERY) girl I meet keeps asking me, "Magali, is your saree ready? Which colour?". These are just some last minute nerves. My nails are filed, I'll get my eyebrows done this evening. I'll pick out an outfit. And I'll look Great! I'll post some pictures tomorrow or if not then on Sunday!

School's Out!

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, but school is finally over. And I'm Happy. Today was officially the last day of normal school. Farewell's on Friday (And I'm still a little insecure of how good I'll look in the outfit I've chosen). I just can't believe it. I know I'll always look back to this day. I know now that I've reached a fork in the road, no I think crossroads.
All I got to work hard. the rest is to God. Or to my karma. I will begin to do just that. Starting with Marathi.

Opening Ceremony

Well, I guess this is officially the first post of my this blog. I hope I can write in this one often. I have to go now, but I'll write more as soon as I get a chance.
