My EVS project's due tomorrow. Yeah, we've known about it for ages but of course, me being Miss Last-Minute-Submitter, had to start working on it properly only today. I got up early enough (at 8.20 even though I slept at 3. Nope, not late night online sessions this time. I was actually studying. Yup, shocking!) and read the paper for a bit. Ok for a lot. Come on! We get, like, 2 newspapers on Sundays. It takes time even for speedy readers like me! Anyway, as I was saying, after the paper reading session, breakfast, bath and all that blah, I sat at my PC to continue making a rough draft of the project on my PC from where I'd left off. The net had expired. I nearly got a heart attack. I harassed my mom until she called the person who deals with all the net stuff and asked him to fix it. Then I kept whining and moaning about not having the internet at the very last moment, and generally making a pain outta myself. To shut me up, she told me to have lunch; which I did. After about an hour, I sat at my comp again. No net. Whining and moaning commenced till mom called him up again. Then I started cutting the pics I would need in my project. Soon got tired of that and cheered when the net person called to say it was fixed. There's nothing that works faster than being annoying to get what you want. I sat online, and Googled for more stuff that I needed. I opened the MSWord doc where I'd saved the previously collected info and right at that instant, the electricity went off. Shock. Panic. Chaos. Now the electricity hardly goes off in my parts. Even more rare was the timing. It was just one of those days, huh? I started hyperventilating. I rushed to wake mom up. Why I did that, I have no idea 'cause there was no way she could fix that particular problem; not unless she has unsuspected of electrician skills. She promptly went back to dreamland. By then, my panic levels had reached an all new high. What cosmic forces were against me completing my bloody project?! I went back to cutting pictures. Too soon, I was done with all the cutting. Then, I did what any person faced with my situation would do. I slept.
After a couple of hours I sat to work on my project again (yes electricity was back, thank goodness!). After gathering some of the stuff I needed, I realized I needed help. That's when I started harassing everyone who was online in my messengers to help me. Only one person did. I will be eternally grateful to him! Now, I'm done with the info collection. What I'm not done with, or even begun for that matter, is to actually start writing the stuff! Yup, 20 pages of things to write and not one word's been jotted down. And here I am, writing a blog and then planning to go watch Jhankaar Beats 'cause I'm tired of sitting in front of the comp. Yeah, I'm the most easily distracted person on the face of this planet and a staller of the highest degree.
Hey, it's just a part of my charm. *blink blink*
