The prodigal Lake returns

Aloha all ! :).

 Although "aloha" wouldn't be a very appropriate word for today or any of the past few days actually. I am sure even if the sun was shining happily in the sky, people of Oklahoma wouldn't have been "aloha-ing"  each other while the mighty Moore was visiting. Has a tornado ever hit London or any surrounding areas? No, I am not trying to scare my self I just want to be reassured that the forceful winds outside that are ripping my baby sunflowers from their roots are not going to get any stronger. I would like to stare at the roof instead of the sky when I sleep tonight.

So yes, as the title suggests, this post hopes to serve as a little rectification of this much neglected blog. Trust me, it was much difficult for us to stay away then for you ( if any of you exist out there) to come here and find nothing. The reason for this all ? None other than the evil exam monster that ruins your life, pushes you to the brink of insanity, makes you think that the padded cell is a much better house and people in white coats will make a  much better family. I can now happily dare anyone to go through this time and not turn out to be a caffeine addict. Exhibit A: Lalita, hated coffee with passion. Popping 3 pro-plus every hour with strong black coffee for the past 2 months and now tea time is much anticipated :). I wouldn't even begin to describe what happens to "already mad about caffeine individuals"  . . . . 23 cups of tea with 3 tea bags in each cup . . enough said. Do I even need to say who I am referring to ?

Those were the dark times. Many could not hold on for long, some didn't hold on at all, like CG who turned up looking all serene (as always) and late for the first exam (somethings never change). But we could only bask in his glory for so long as . . . .Alas!! No show . . .for the rest of exams. I guess he realised that so much stress can never be good to keep up the charm like his and who needs a degree when the occupation on your CV says "full time CG", who will ever ask for a reference ? Where as Lalita has given him all the benefit of a doubt (she has none left now) there had been many speculations by the rest of Lakes. But they are weak considering the pressures of the time we were going through and even though we had no "better" things to worry about we certainly had more grave situations to think about. But most of all, he is CG, who are we to judge! right?

But hey, we made it out alive. That was one hell of an adrenaline rush and combine that with a weight of Boeing 747 worth of caffeine and you have yourself a mutant, a very emotional mutant. Now exams are over and we have a lot of time to kill. Well 5 months to be exact, that is if there are no resits waiting to ruin our summer. I always spoke of  things that I will do after I finish exams but that time took with it my energy and the great sunny weather away. I feared that the sun won't be around much longer, but I hope the quota of sunny days for the year hasn't run out yet. I guess we can use this time to make up for the long sleepless nights.

Even though I would never want to go through it again but I would never make it any different even if I could change it (I would try and study more before exams, way before exams). This is what will make this time memorable, the long nights, the insanity and great friends to share it with. It's always OK as long as you have an ally- Asch taught me that, and knowledge is only useful when you can use it in real life. Someone tell the examiner that please ! thank you very much.

All is well that ends well -there are so many things wrong with this statement but we'll leave it to that.....

I've missed this so much

Edit: My friend has pointed out that my drawing of the cinnamon danish looks like poop, please be adviced that it in no way looks like a poop in reality. I would not want sales of cinnamon danish to go down by this drawing. My less-then-perfect skills will never to the danish justice it deserves
