Because we're only human...

It is every humane (I say this with much ambiguity in the connotation of the word) person's job to tell another person (usually someone they care about) the brighter part of their situation. Even if they were sitting and inevitably dying of cancer, their friend/loved-one/acquaintance would be telling the patient that a miracle would happen, that they'd be fine. Sometimes it's better to hear the truth, because then everyone's insecurities related to the prospect of possibly not having the person (with cancer) around is too scary. It is like how people in the Hairy Bladder books do not say ''VOLDEMORT" out loud.
So anyway, I was just pondering over the possibility that I might have nose cancer or something because of my over-swelling nasal fistula that is practically blocking my nose passage (i.e hindering my very breathing process) and everything and the fact that I have virtually all the symptoms. But whatever. It is just that my allergic rhinitis is pissing the blimming hell out of me.

The common presentations are:

Neck swelling from spread to neck lymph nodes (60%)
Ear symptoms eg ear blockage of tinnitus (30%)
Nose symptoms eg nose bleeds (30%)

So I was telling Mag and Jecil and Addy:

Maya. read and die --> http://kent86.blogdrive.com/ says:

And if I did have cancer, which I think'd be sorta cool only because everyone would suddenly care. everyone'd be too sweet. like all the people who weren't before. Mellifluous. And then, iIcan finally see for myself the extent of human pretense.
Plus it wouldn't be so bad cos I'd get to miss plenty of school. And come out alive because Nose Cancer is very curable.

Anyway, I have a headache now. And it appears my mother is ready to leave her sacred office. So I can finally please myself with the thought of retiring to my soft queen-sized bed (hells yes I deserve to show off something I got free from the owners).

Goodnight!

Le Weekend

So the weekend was pretty good. I went for both nights of the Gujarati Association's 'Dhol Bhaje' Dandiya Night thingy and Saturday was way more fun that Sunday but I looked way more appropriately dressed on Sunday than I did on Saturday and I know I'm using a lot of redundant words due to repetition but I don't care because this is my blog not an English exam, right? Right. So anyway, I've been reading the 'New Moon' E-book and watching 'Scrubs' episodes (Got 7 seasons from India) and waiting for Gossip Girl and Heroes episodes to come out. Season 3 of Heroes is AMAZING. And Mohinder's body isn't that bad. Ha, not that I care. Anyway, today was quite a waste of time. We had frees all day except for Chem and that too wasn't much. And we missed english on account of we had some exhibition/fair of some random un-renown colleges in the US. But getting info was good I suppose. I'm not too keen on going to the US anyway because I'll have to do Pre-Med/Dentistry/Law (whichever I eventually decide on) for 3 years, and then I get to enter Med School and that's another 7 years or more. I'd rather not study for more than 10 years in two or three different universities to be honest. That's why I'm aiming at the UK. More particularly, Imperial College London. I'm gonna have to work a lot harder I know, but I'm really keen on going there.

Wellllll, my SAT 1 went pretty well. Now alls I've got to do is wait patiently for another 11-12 odd days for the results! And if I don't get the scores up to my expectations/satisfaction, don't expect them to be posted here!

Love,

I'M BACK!

So after a month of my blogging being on a hiatus, something (or possibly the lack of something to do) encouraged me to start blogging again! Hoorah. Well this month hasn't been very eventful. Just full of tests, lack-of-sleep, binging, trying not to binge, music, panic, fights, food, food, food, SAT exam practice and whatever mayhem can be included into an average teenage life. I may be 17 but I honestly don't feel it. I feel more mature (yes both ways) but I still feel like I have a long long way to go though university is just two years from now.

I can't be bothered to go on. Something just ruins my mood all the time.

I'll never be a happy woman.
