Im finally done with my exams. I was off from work for two weeks and you know I didnt really mind being home as much as I thought I would. All I did was eat, sleep and watch mummy’s tv. By mummy’s tv I mean all the Indian soaps I used to make fun of. They re not so bad you know once you figure out what’s going on. Its just so annoying when they keep stretching one teeny weeny thing for weeks. And the funniest thing ever is how mummy pronounces all their Indian names. She seriously just makes up her own names based on – nothing! And in one of the soaps where they have these really really long names, she just refers to them by their title – like Kunwarji and the Baap and stuff. So funny.
I usually drink like one sip of water throughout the day and I know its really bad for my body so I thought now that Im home, why don’t I get my body used to drinking more water. So everyday for two weeks, I drank exactly 2 liters of water and went to the toilet exactly 2 million times. Seriously I have turbo-powered kidneys. I’ll take my first sip and whoosh I have to go. And by have to I really mean have to. Allah swt has paired my turbo kidneys with the weakest bladder in the history of all bladders. And this is exactly why I don’t force myself through this while I’m working. I remember one of my friends was like humaira you should really try to drink more water – the best thing to do is drink two glasses as soon as you wake up and then you dont need to drink anymore during the day. I was like ok I’ll try that. I woke up one day, had two glasses of water, and left for work like an hour later. As soon as I was far enough from home to not be able to go back, I had to go to the toilet of course. The whole hour that I was driving to work, I kept cussing at my friend. So-called friend. Hmph.
And about how I did in my exams – I’m actually glad I get my results in August. Everybody who now knows I just had my exams will have forgotten about them by then and wont ask me for my results. First of all I don’t know why my language is so bad. I kept using everyday vocabulary in my essays - like in banking there was this question about some financial crisis in Mexico and I was like ‘omg the economy sucked like even more after the crisis’. I would structure my sentences exactly like this and then rephrase them. I write like I talk. Not cool.
