Happiness is the end of the Journey

Finally the time has come for me to come back home, hang up my lab-coat, make a nice hot cup of coffee and watch House on the DVD player....as opposed to retiring to my hostel room with 5 other works of art demolishing cars in 'Burnout' and screaming that their cars are demolished, climbing up to my bunk bed, forcefully taking/bargaining/borrowing the laptop and watching House....practically the same, but strangely, the television gives you the soothing sensation of being home!

Only 4 more days remain till the fateful day I fling my baggage over my shoulder (my suitcase weighs 40 kilos but I've really always wanted to say that) and board the trains for a gruelling 30 hour ride in sweltering heat with stinking people spilling Sambar all over the seats of the sleeper carriage. At this point of time, I wish I hadn't made the more than bold decision to brave all damnation and book a train ticket in the middle of summer, but as it turns out dignity and regret only speak out once you've made the choice and their words inevitably are: "Damned be ye who takes the train!"

Anyway just 4 more days...

In terms of the number of exams left - 1

In terms of the number of classes left - 0

In terms of the number of times I'll change my clothes - 2

In terms of the number of times I'll change my underwear- ...err, let's leave it at that!

But yay!
