The firmament.
Two days left.
Anybody feeling the euphoria? I am. I really am. Truly, this waiting gives me shivers. Why can't they just pluck everything inside one day? It seems like two millenniums have already bowed down to history; still, I am stuck here, excited, elated, frustrated, furiously waiting for the most eagerly-awaited day to come: Tuesday. The multitude of MCQs inside my head are now transforming into a bilious, bothersome mix of anxiety and tension, depriving me of a good night's sleep and sweet dreams.
MCQ... MCQ... oh.. full marks, yeah yeah, full marks... oh, the MCQs..
Now I sound like a jerk getting multiple orgasms because of multiple choice questions.
A, B, C, D.
Why won't they bring back the E?
Add an F and a G, make it seven, seven's a lucky number.
Please, let me breathe.
A quondam study-freak i was a few days back.
Aow, surreptitiously, these past few days, i have been pretending that i have been studying religiously in front of my peers.
"Wow, Rowland, so hardworking."
"Thanks," I beam a wide smile. I act really good, dude, my mind says.

I look at the beautiful firmament above me, a majestic concoction of cirrus, cumulus, nimbus, stratus clouds; spanning the fields of the sky, a sea above the ground, a vast expanse of freedom and calmness. How I wish I could finish this immediately and fly to the sky.
