I Messed Up Really Badly. I'm Scoring So Low On My Entrance Exam—though The Results Aren't Out Yet,

I've made a decent study plan for my upcoming exams, though I'll admit I'm very scared. Also, I've finally decided to add dried snapdragon (flowers) to my commonplace notebook. We'll be moving out in a month, and I'll have to leave this beautiful garden behind as well. I've spent more than twelve years here, so I'm drying some flowers from the garden and placing them at random pages in my notebook.

Trying to study amid self-conflicts and doubts. I'm so depressed and worried about my future.

I had brunch and some evening snacks at Haldiram's.

🤦🏻‍♀️: I need to get myself together. I'm so pathetic. Except for attending classes, I spent the entire day just reading Webtoon.

All things aside, I hit the jackpot today. I found my digital camera, along with my dad's old geography, biology, and economics books, plus a bunch of maps, diaries, manuals, and language learning guides from Japan. He was going to throw everything away, so I picked out the stuff I want to keep—the rest will be discarded.

Thank you so much!!!! I've been so nervous to write again, but this boosted my confidence.

Thank you again! It's such an honor to think that Ovid might have appreciated it.

(I've been smiling so wide my cheeks have started to hurt. I even told my mom about it—this made my day!)

Hello! I'm sorry to bother you with this, but would you mind reading this? I wrote it two years ago and I’ve been thinking about returning to poetry. No pressure at all—you can ignore this if you're busy. I just wanted to ask you because you seem to know a lot about the Greeks.

Have a good day! 🩵

It's not a bother! I really enjoyed reading this. It felt so vocal, like oral poetry, which is of course very fitting for the ancients. You did an excellent job! Ovid would be proud. And thank you for trusting me with it.

Guys, good news! I got an acceptance letter from a university! I'm so happy. It may not be the best one, but I'm proud that I cleared their entrance exam. I still have many exams ahead of me, and if I qualify those, I could get into a better university or B-school.

I left home around 7:30 in the morning and went to Agra to take an exam. B-school entrance exams are held only in a few cities. I came back home around 9:30 PM. I think we should have left a bit later because it wasn’t that far away. I also saw the Agra Fort, but only from the outside because it was extremely hot, and besides, visiting the fort properly takes an entire day. The exam didn’t go as well as I had expected. The Quant section was pretty hard.
