Firstly, Ramadan Kareem everyone !
So now for my usual school update. Teacher's Day went perfectly. YAY :)
Oh and as of now, we are following Ramadan timings, which means I get to sleep a just a little bit more. This way, I'll be able to stay awake during classes. Our awesome class band came up with a perfect new song. It's called "Beaches". I have a part in it too. The high - pitched "Ta taaaa" part of course :P. Bhavani, the most creative person I've EVER met, came up with most of the song. She and Manali, founders of the band, have the entire album prepared - "Regular Sized Retards". Well, only the people in 10G1 will probably understand the name. I hope we record "Beaches" soon. Other than all that, school's been its usual dull self.
The above was written around a week ago. I guess it wasn't destined to remain in my 'drafts' like most other incomplete posts.
Hmm. So today, I went to the dentist to get my brace wire changed. Today also happened to be an India - England match. I don't watch cricket much (don't kill me) so of course, it didn't really interest me. At all. My dentist is an avid cricket fan though. So the whole time I was in the 'chair', he was watching the match and pulling out the wire with that horrible sharp instrument. I'm not a fan of sharp things anywhere near me, especially not my mouth. Yup, another one of my weird fears. Once, I thought he forgot about the wire sticking out of my mouth and I was about to say, "Uh hello?" or whatever noise I could produce with that metal wire sticking out of my mouth, half pulled out. Today my dad actually came and stood near the chair. I was completely taken aback, cause usually he stands right next to the TV (cricket). Then, in the middle of the whole brace tightening, my dad says something about Dhoni. This of course makes my dentist look up and start talking to my dad about cricket. All the while, continuing with the removal of that stupid wire.
Well, he's still an awesome dentist.
More later, I guess.
PS : Today's the day Walt Disney released "Steamboat Willie", one of the most famous early movies to feature Mickey Mouse. Wow (I'm a very big Disney fan, laugh all you want).

School .. And Hockey!
Yup. School's begun.
Though luckily we've been busy with Teacher's Day (dancing for 2.5 hours straight with no water isn't exactly my thing but it's strangely FUN). I'd been thinking that our dance wasn't going to work out, but after a LOT of practice it seems to be going just right. So that's great ! :) I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping it works out tomorrow, which happens to be Teacher's Day. Everything in the entertainment program for Teacher's Day is coming together perfectly too. The only hitch is that I'm going to have to change out of my saree (or sari, however you wish to spell it) for the dance, and then back again. That's troublesome indeed but I guess it should be okay.
I miss SFS so much. We went to Wild Wadi on Sunday after school and it was brilliant. All of us had a brilliant time. Everyone just seemed so happy. And now the camp's over.. The good part is we're still meeting every month! :)
We had PE today and the new PE teacher, Mrs. Priya just happens to be a hockey player. So we played hockey for the first time in the history of all our PE lessons (and that's one amusing history - involving throwball in the cricket area and dodgeball in the throwball area). I think 'Chak De India' got me interested in hockey. Today we started naming each other from the movie and I ended up being Komal. The short and amazing player who uses her height to her advantage. So shush :P. Even though I wouldn't have minded being Vidya either but Rishika already named herself Vidya. Anyway, when we got down to playing we realized hockey was much harder than we'd expected. It was fun though! I can't wait to play again. I didn't even know our school had hockey sticks!
School isn't that bad after all. Well except me occasionally dozing off in classes (and the AC konking off at 1 every single day) , but then that's something we all suffer from isn't it? And of course, projects and homework. But other than that, school's better than I'd expected.
