An Outlet: Part 3

26 April, 2018.

Today morning, I got to know that my grandfather was admitted to the hospital following a typhoid/malaria scare. It's neither of them tho. My dad went to visit him in the hospital and he said he's fine. My dad's gone back to spend the night at the hospital.

Study wise, a major thing happened today.

I GOT TO KNOW MY CENTRE! FINALLY!

They had told us that they would release our hall tickets 4 days prior to the examination, but I knew they'd release it before that. And today's the day!

The first thing I checked after seeing my hall ticket was whether I've been assigned to take the correct subjects. The University has been in the news this past year for the all the wrong reasons and you have be extra careful and double check everything you apply or recieve from the University. Thankfully, all's good. 

Coming to the next main point, I won't have to travel for over two hours to reach my centre like last year! I've got a centre that's about 20 mins away from my house....via road. That was kind of a bummer. I wanted my centre near the train station cause I'm comfortable with the transport and honestly, the traffic in the city is so unpredictable. Nonetheless, I know I'll be leaving my house way earlier than required to avoid any kind of time-based adversities so that I don't have to worry to much about it.

What I do have to worry about is the people from my college who got the same centre as me. Last year, I was the only person from my college who got that particular centre that I got (That's a lie. There was one other dude but I rarely saw him in college so quite frankly, for me, he doesn't count. I don't even know his name.) and that was such a bliss. I don't cheat during exams nor do I help anyone else. Especially during the finals. And it's quite easy to dismiss strangers (as in the others in your centre who are from other colleges) who ask you for help. I bluntly say no to their face when the ask me if I'll whisper them the answer. 

But this time, I have three others from my college and they are notorious for copying. If they come to know that I'm in the same centre as them, they'll try everything to convince me to help. Especially since one of them has gotten a conditional admission to a foreign University and she might lose it if she doesn't score well in these exams. And it's going to be difficult to tell them no as compared to the strangers. Let's hope they're not even in the same room as me. I will try to avoid them at all costs.

My dad will check out the centre sometime this week and even come to drop me to the place on the first day like he did last year.

Today I officially completed going through one round of my entire portion for the exams. I'm happy that I'm still on my schedule. Now I have to go into intense revision mode to make sure I remember everything that I've studied. 

I'm going to college tomorrow, the first time after my prelim results. I need to have my doubts ready and make a list of which professors to meet and what questions/last minute advice to ask them. I'll also have to speak to my program director who made me send her a small write up about myself, for some reason, and asked me confirm my exam dates so many times to the point where I started doubting myself. Apparently, she's trying to set me (and probably a couple others) up for an internship interview. Oh for the record, she's the same person who set me up for my last (first) interview. She also informed me that I got the sixth rank and I have to confirm what exactly are these ranks for.

Also, BTS is going to on a tour. Obviously they're not coming to my town, or country rather, and I'm honestly completely okay with it. Relieved infact. BTS still has a LONG way to go in my country and they won't be accepted here currently. I don't want them to do anything for their ARMYs (me included) that will not be good for their mental well being. My country just isn't ready for them.
