Results

The day started off with me trying to hide the newspaper so that my mum wouldn't notice that my First year Board results were out. I was so nervous. My stomach had this strange feeling, like someone was tying my intestines together.

8 AM- 10 AM : Physics

Prasad Sir gave us numericals on capacitors and some other electrical crap. NO ONE was in the regular I'm-so-eager-to-crack-this-question mood. Anxiety building.

10 AM- 12 PM : Chemistry

RAMESH! My Chem teacher Ramesh Sir, resembles a very bad looking version of Salman Khan. He once told me that I have a very 'tension face'. Which is funny, considering I hardly take any tension. In fact, it'd do me some good if I felt slightly pressured. We blindly copied some notes about ethers and their chemical properties. The results was supposed to come out at 11:30... by 11:15 we'd convinced him to give us the rest of the class off. Everyone was waiting for the break, to call their parents and get the result. 

12 PM- 2 PM : Maths

We didn't let Sir teach AT ALL. He walked into the class, to be greeted by a bunch of students busy on their cell phones. He just smiled and let us carry on with the results. First thing he said was "Aaaan, Akshara Ayyar, what is your mark?" 

He asked me that atleast 5 times in those two hours. 

Some girls started crying because they were expecting 96-97% but ended up with 92-93%. SERIOUSLY! Crying for such a great score?! 

A lot of people in my class got a 90+ percentage. Many 80s. I got my result too... was quite disappointed. But more on that later. 

They put up the result on our notice board for everyone to see. Too much crowd- with some really tall guys- stood in our way like pillars. Everyone checked their marks. Many reactions, some postive, some negative, but the overall performance by everyone was extremely good. Congrats you guys! :)

2 PM- 5 PM : Lunch + Practicals 

That's when the real thing started for me. Got my score, and everyone else's. I was sitting, eating my sandwich, wondering WHY I got the least marks out of all my friends (still feeling terrible). 

72.1% for me. 

I was hoping for 70+. Which I got. But comparing it to everyone else, I just feel so small! 

My mum didn't say much... she said she's okay with it. And so is my dad. They just told me to focus on my 12th and do well this year. Which, I SWEAR I will work on.

Then I attended my Physcis practicals and came home.

Kartik also sent me a really nice email... made me feel loads better. He told me that Neha did reiki for my result :)

I love you Neha!

So anyway. This was a really strange day. But I had Chinese for dinner(YUMMMYYYYY!) and it rained!!!! 

Like my Facebook status says "What a perfect end to a pathetic day."

I'm going to make my tomorrow better.
