My IB examinations ended at the earliest possible time, after 6 days of intensive morning AND afternoon papers. And now, I’m not quite sure how to react. It’s just been so matter-of-fact-like that i haven’t been able to feel much in terms of sheer jubiliation or whatever.
Haha I’m typing this even as i sit at gate C16, awaiting permission to board my flight, and all i can say with the utmost certainty, is that ‘i’m tired. I’m really really tired’.
Ah well. It’s been a long journey. I thank you Lord, for bringing me through.
Ok, time for my holiday. Goodbye world. Till the 27th.

One wednesday afternoon a pure-blooded ACSian ventures into the compounds of RI/RJC. He got lost. Haha.
Other than that, the interview went fine overall i guess (and hope). I could not have been more fortunate, what with my passage being on the great man theory, and the interviewer’s area of expertise being of all things - napoleon bonaparte.
The front part didn’t go well - i wasn’t entirely sure how to make use of my annotation time, and i made the mistake of trying to link stalin to the great man theory, which our limited ib knowledge doesn’t quite train you for, unfortunately.
After that though (and i think the interviewer’s interest had a role to play in this) the conversation shifted to a discussion and chat on napoleon himself and the 1812 campaign, which was just what i liked. I hope i guaged his enjoyment accurately, and that his ‘ok we could talk about this all afternoon, but unfortunately your time is up. One more question just before you leave though- do you have any qns for me regarding oxford etc?’ was a good sign, but anyway that was the end, before i quizzed him on esdaile’s new book (heh).
The interview was challenging, but twas cool cos it really planted some cool ideas into my head, like how my conversations with charles usually end up :/
One thing’s for sure - oxford dons are cool folk, and i left really quite impressed with the uk. Now for the big feat - getting the offer and finance to get in.
But one step at a time. I still have the HAT coming up, and anyway.ultimately thy will, not mine, be done.

Judging by this it doesn’t seem like I’ve covered much these few days actually. Which isn’t too good. And with tomorrow being Deepavali I have to reconsider the viability of embarking on my History P2 blitz (since the library’s gonna be closed).
And I have an interview coming up on wednesday, which is well, rather inconvenient.
Hmm hmm hmm.

may convey far more meaning than is immediately apparent.
Well, two could play at that game.
