The impossible

Added to the euphoria of coming back from the sudden trip to Bangalore (about which I will blog later), was the bonus of somehow managing to come second in my class. Apparently, 79% is a lot in arts... BMM at least, and I am second highest. The highest stands at a percentage of 82.

Never expected to be there. Honestly I thought I would be just a little above average. Turns out that bluffing and making up half the paper does not go a long way in Science, but is sufficient to get you the second highest place in the class in arts. If I just push myself a little more...
The problem with coming second is that you feel bad for not coming first. If I were to come say something like sixteenth, I wouldn't have minded much, knowing that I am better than most of the class would have been enough for me - and that was really all I had expected.
This is the first for me, and I just cannot wait to gloat too much.

Here... just for the heck of it, is my scoresheet

2: Effective communication skills (ECS)
3: Introduction to computers (Comp)
