Happy Happy Joy Joy

I went for the Y. Kumar Student Award competition in springdales today. Aside from meeting various people, including but not limited to Bacchus and Jayant Pande, I also had some of the best fun ever.

The written quiz section was amazing, I'll get 60 plus correct, but as there were two or three other regular quizzers in the mix, I'm unsure if I will get first place.

The essay, I fell in love with. I went wild, after a seriously long period of time, much thanks to my blog. I used some of my most paagal analogies and comparisions to date, which make comparing latch key kids to washing machines look perfectly reasonable (yes, I did do that). I even went to the extent of Making a flow diagram illustrating my essay once I was done, as I had a lot of time, and didn't want to write a long winded essay. (there was no word limit)

I was literally bouncing up and down on my seat, as I was not allowed to bounce around in the room. I think that might have put fellow competitors a bit uneasy. Vrinda herself was trying exceedingly hard to cope with my *ahem* exhuberance, and was fighting a loosing battle.

My good mood continued, till I did a mock SAT, and my score fell dramatically to 1480, which strangly is what my brother got on his actual sat. So now I am back to just normally happy.

But that's still good enough, according to most, and tomorrow everything had better go right. Its the real deal, so wish me luck. Future prospects could depend on this.
