My tryst with the dentist...

A really scary experience as it obviously was... I wasn't at all willing to go to the dentist but my wisdom teeth were coming out (painfully), despite my irrational needle fears... The doc after an expedition in my mouth declared that the wisdom tooth had to be removed confirming my fears that i had to endure shots (Injections that is) in my mouth...On the day of my teeth removal the doc pitilessly pressed the needle into my gums and the rest of the experience was not at all a pleasant one...Hmmm...for people who are planning to pay a visit to the dentist and get their teeth plucked out(Ouch..!!)..... Avoid looking at the dentist when he is working on your teeth... just close your eyes, and try to relax a bit - it will really make things a lot easier for you ...and I earnestly suggest to take your dad along to hold your hand.....!

My GRE Woes....

...I am planning to take my GRE a week from today..(Hope i have framed the sentence appropriately,'coz too much indulgent reading of complex words and sentences have made my mind so hazed that simple sentences framed by me are being prone to errors...)...
Having said that, the one and only thing that is the driving force for my preparation is the cost of application for the test(which is 8000 bucks unfortunately..).. and my preparation is ridden with lots of hindrances and trauma at various levels of preparation...
Let me elaborate...
Woe number 1:
Just when i was flipping through my vocab study material after having mustered enough interest with great difficulty...i came across a word called "Floccinaucinihilipilification"... I blinked......and scanned the page...there were many more such words, learning which might require a reasonably long period of time (unless you are a real nerd and study for hours together)... and it didnt end there...the meanings for those words were really simple like the word that i mentioned before( No patience to remember the spelling and mention again)...it meant "worthless"...Now which sane person on earth would use that long shittiest word instead of conveniently using 'worthless'...
Woe number 2:
The acute embarrassment that i have to suffer if i get (god forbid..!!!) low scores... and the horrendous prospect of writing the exam again...(Though my mom already declared that she wouldn't pay 8000/- for re-attempt and i have to score well the first time itself..)..That sort of added to my already mounting pressure...
Woe number 3:
The ordeal of sitting through alomost 3 hours of testing ( at the end of which you are completely exhaused and worse, if you dont end up with a good score(God forbid again!!...)
And the woes continue.....................................
This post comes as an after-effect of a frustating preparation of 4 hours ....
I have finally decided not to push myself and my poor brain much... what would happen will ultimately happen no matter how bad you try to stop it from happening...
So my only advice for who ever who cares to listen...
"Stay optimistic, and stay sane"... All the best for future GRE test takers (and retakers)....!!
