What's up!? ...never nothing much! :P

My Dear Super Neglected Blog,

It's not that I don't like you or something. Other things have kept me occupied, and you do know about how lazy I can get at times. These two things put together have led to your feeling neglected for a valid reason. Anyway, now that I am back you should be happy.

With love, and no promise to not neglect you again,

Yamini

Okay, so that's one thing dealt with. And now I really have to update everyone (i.e. the 4-5 people who read my blog, of which 1-2 would be interested in this post) about what I've been up to. Life's been pretty very interesting. Some real low lows, but mostly high highs.

In school, things have been good. I'm very consciously not doing too many things this year unlike last year when I was all over everywhere. It's class XII, and as unlike myself as I may sound, I really should place academics right on top of the priority list. But not doing 'too many things' doesn't mean nothing. So, in a capsule: I got voted in Connect Secretary, and Images Vice President, and you probably do know that I'm a prefect. The Images elections were funny. Miss Pramanik didn't nominate me at all, and everyone was totally surprised. I've missed a few meetings for play rehearsals and everything, so she said my attendance wasn't good enough. Anyway, by popular demand and Sururupa's initiative, I got nominated and elected. Now someone said something like one isn't allowed to hold more than two posts at a time, and because I'm already a prefect and Connect Secretary, I can't be Images Vice President. It is totally untrue, and I'm very happily going to hold three whole posts. Lotus Buds - the school magazine we edited - came out, and people kinda like it. We gave the school-leaving batch a farewell and they kinda liked it. I'm actually taking down notes in the Literature in English class and that's why I can't make more pretty doodles, and Mrs. Kar and Ms. Guha won't let me drop History. They're totally unreasonable. In general, things at school are uncomplicated and happy. Almost. But the thing that is not uncomplicated is something I don't want to write about and it'll hopefully be okay soon.

Apart from that, TNMC happened! It's tough to write in correct grammar also now - it was so totally exciting that I feel like writingglikeeethissss!!! I couldn't attend all the rehearsals since the venue shifted from Deborshi's chhaat to KB's home, which isn't half as close to my place. Whenever I did attend, I had a great time - met lots of new people, and made new friends, and everything and everything. It's so tough to explain why we had a good time, and most of the jokes were situational, so when I tell somebody what happened, they don't find it that funny, and I'm rolling on the floor laughing. It's very embarrassing. Sometimes I remember something when I'm walking alone on the road, and I laugh. Shayak, Pallavi, Rajat, Neha, Owaiz, Radhika, Shraddha, Yash, Shripriya, Srishti Di, Dev D, Dhruv, Priyanka Bhabhi, Kanak Bhaiya, DSP Malhotra, Phulwa, Tathagata Baptoon Choudhury -not!- Motilal, Sweety, Bindoo, Hardik and a few others are to blame. Just by the way, the play, 'The Newly Married Couple' went off pretty well, and the cast party was good too. Ask me for details of either or both, and I'll be happy to tell you. Tomorrow we're all meeting up again, and I'm all excited and looking forward to having a good time.

One time, Shripriya and I were at Barista discussing only-we-two-should-know-what, *secret wink to Shripriya*, and then her Mom called and threatened to get her a scolding from her Dad, and then mine called and reminded me of all the work that awaited me back at home, and asked me to come back immediately. It is a common occurence which is a majorly dramatic portrayal of the difference between our fantasies and current realities.

The low lows were there, but I don't feel like writing about them at all. The fever I recovered from just today was pretty bad too, but thankfully didn't last long. Today was nice - I met Toffee, my friend's pug, and then we went for coffee. Tomorrow promises to be a good day. I'll hopefully have happening happy vacations. I need to go shopping urgently - I've run out of red nail paint, and am totally short of clothes and shoes and whatever else one can shop for. I was hoping to vacation in Mumbai, but the plan got canceled before it was made, and I'd cry and sob and wail if I wasn't totally optimistic about having a good time irrespective of that.

Okay so now I've run out of things to say, and if you want to know anything about anything ask me and I'll tell you. Okay, bye.

(Fish! That was the worst way in which I've ever ended a blog post! :D )
