Meoow!

The day of deliverance is here! On Nov 20 almost 2 Lakh are going to write the toughest management entrance examination in the world. I am one of them. Hopes are pinned on me by my parents and I am responsible for nurturing it in order to escape from other failures I had encountered. Well, am i prepared for it?
The short answer is NO. I don't know the long answer but it will also border on some shade of no as well. The prep for thequantitative section of the paper has been abysmal to say the least. I just lost my drive mid way through the preparations. I cannot pin why, though. The data analysis and logic part is also pretty ill-prepared and my logic never seems to find rest with the real answers :-(. I always thought I could score on verbal section, but the recent performance is not very promising. Earlier I used to score some 36-38 marks and out of it 30 used to be verbal alone! Needless to say quant would be a perfect anda. Nowadays, the score remains the same but I tend to score some 25 on the verbal part. Not good!
I heard from reliable sources that Nitin is working damn hard these days and giving 150% on the preparation. Here I am giving in a "third" of that effort. ( i meant the third number :-0)
Tomorrow we are leaving at 6:30 PM, Nitin, Santhi, Divakar and myself. Everything has been arranged and only thing left is to find the centres beforehanded.
My expectations? Well, I hope to score some decent percentile so I can qualify for atleast some low ranked institutions in TIME's list as a last straw.
I am expecting to do better in XAT, since it has more emphasis on verbal and there is an essay part and a GK section too. But the institution count is low :-(. Hope I can put my head straight by then. ( well not by then MUCH before then!)
I thank all my friends who have encouraged me and supported me. You people have done your part in playing the cheerleaders but now its up to me!
Pray for me people!
I say good bye till 21st with these lines from my favourite song Estranged by Guns N Roses...

"Young at heart an it gets so hard to wait
When no one I know can seem to help me now
Old at heart but I musn't hesitate
If I'm to find my own way out"

"When I find out all the reasons
Maybe I'll find another way
Find another day
With all the changing seasons of my life
Maybe I'll get it right next time"
