One more exam to go, and I hopefully will be done with my education! (For now, at least) Oh, and about my other three exams that past? Let's just say I like creative explosive writing! (The writings inspire explosions) I have just got my airplane ticket back home, and I can't wait till I START counting the days!
The exams thankfully are not as taxing as they used to be. I am able to relax all I want and study for it in the last minute. Though I had an exam today, I was able to watch the UEFA ManU Barca match last night! (Just so you know, I don't follow football... this was just a freak accident.) Sometimes I wonder why they bother to give us an exam! Might as well correct our term-papers properly! We work really hard for them!
The Hospital (hopefully my second source of financial support. The first one is my dad's card) just called to set up the interview timings. The guy on the phone sounded very professional. I'll be going for my very first job-interview on the 5th of May. Monday. Please pray for me guys!
OK. Where was I? Oh! Farewell! yes... come to think of it, right now I don't feel so much that I will be leaving this place for good. I have grown too attached to the people here and to the place altogether.
Great friends like the guy in the green shirt, the angry ol' man, lil girl, digg, rolly, the peppy linguist, 'what's there' girl and her best friend, (and so on and so forth) will be people I'll really miss, and would be altogether happy to stay in touch with. I've done things here that I've never done before!
I've stood in front of an out-door church, played the guitar and sang and led worship all at the same time! (Smirk away guitar greats... smirk away) I've listened (and have been inspired by) great singing at church (that's you guitar greats, and you tabi, if you ever read this). I've begun to like singers like Dylan, Marley, Beatles, Jars of Clay, Jaci Vel, Billy Joel. I've started listening to rap.
I've danced to tamil film songs on stage twice! I've worn a suit and sang in a concert, performing the same show for two different audiences. I have had the blessed chance to dance under the snow. I've been frostbitten (not dog-bitten yet, but looking at the number of hounds in campus, it will soon happen). I've chatted with a rajasthani local in Hindi for around 20 minutes without an interpreter. I've stayed awake for 72 hours straight. I've slept for 16 hours flat (pun intended). I've learnt how to juggle. I've learnt the art of writing graffiti on paper (duh wait till I get spray cans!). I've got a decent collection of movies. I've learnt to love the open-source (not that I use it right now).I've learnt that being a hooligan is not as bad as it looks (learnt that on holi). I've learnt how to eat the spiciest of pork, fish, maggi without worrying about my leaking nose.
Thanks a lot guys!!! Will miss you lots!!!
Ok... Enough, I'll have to stop now and bawl for a while in the restroom... So if you'll excuse me...

Farewell time
Approximately an hour to go before the first of my final exams begin. Unlike the rest of those in my class, I have learnt one thing about taking exams. Don't take things too seriously. Do as much as you can, and leave the rest to Him. I don't think I can cram any more into my brain. All I will do now if I do that is hyper-ventilate, palpitate and finally collapse into a great big heap of ...
Before I say anything more, I'd like to thank all you readers who have been motivating me to write into here. You guys were great! scrapping me and asking me to write more! Really felt that I was doing something worthwhile! (Also would like to thank Google putting my name into it's search list.. Google Samuel Joseph JNU and see what you get!!)
What you get is that master-piece I wrote, basically bashing up JNU! Now, that I have to leave the place, I realize that in a place like this, you could easily get comfortable. In spite of the fact that you have to walk a lot before you can get anywhere, you get used to it! The forests in the middle of the city are something that I guess I might never see again. The friends I've made here have been one of the closest! I don't show it too much, but they are. JNU definitely grows into your skin, and I feel that I might miss the place when I go out. (boo hoo)
Ok, for all you readers, another announcement (before I get into hyperventilation mode) I will be completing my 'formal education' phase of my life, and The Floating Leaf will either be entering the working class phase or the unemployment phase.
Will write in detail soon. (May be after the exam gets over)
