The day after an exam

Hello everybody,
I hope you're having a great day! As I mentioned in my previous post, I had an important exam yesterday. It went well and it feels like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders. Before an exam, I feel exams are the worst things to happen to students and life would be much better without them. But actually, the joy you feel after finishing an exam is much more than when you don't have an exam. Any form of relaxation or enjoyment that you indulge in after an exam feels justified. Today, I woke up at about 9:30 am, switched on the TV and sat in front of it till about 4 pm! ( I did shower and have breakfast and lunch in between.) If I had done the same thing on any other random day, I would have felt really guilty. But since I had been working really hard for quite some time, I felt completely relaxed and happy wasting an entire day.
I think this is the reason we need goals and desires in life. We all love the sense of accomplishment that we feel after working towards a goal and achieving it. Living life as it comes is like the joy you feel when you have no exams. It is simple, uncomplicated and happy.
I think it is just a matter of choice. Both the options seem valid ways of living a happy contented life.
Woah! That turned philosophical very soon! I had a really nice day and wanted to do a post on how awesome it feels after an exam. What do you prefer? The day after an exam or a day when you don't have an exam approaching? Do let me know in the comments!
Until next time.
Bye! :D
P.S. I still haven't finished my exams. The next one is still about 5 days away so took a day off.

Where's the pause button?

Hello everybody,
I'm writing a post after such a long time. Since I've been away for such a long time, I thought I'd just do a post telling you all what I've been up to.
My life has been super hectic for the past month. I was busy with my final year project work (worth 18 credits out of 24 credits). Getting the reports printed and bound was one hell of a job. We had to use LaTex for formatting the report and one missing bracket could ruin the formatting of the entire document. But at the end of it, I felt really proud seeing the printed reports.
The week before last week was our department farewell and institution farewell (on two separate days). The same week we had an Open Day in college where we had to present our projects to the public. So, the whole of that week I had taken leave from work. So last week and this week have been crazy at work too. I've just been living from one deadline to the next. Tomorrow is my final project evaluation and I'm quite nervous about it. Usually final projects are done in groups of 4; but since I'm showing the project that I did during my internship, I'm doing it alone. The entire responsibility is upon me and this is quite nerve-wracking. I hope all goes well tomorrow. I'll be done with my college exams by next Saturday. 
I'm sorry for this crappy post. I promise to post better content after I'm done with my exams.
Until next time,
Bye! :)
