Today, I went to the city(Trichy) to give my TOEFL exam. I was there an hour prior to the Reporting time. Had a look at the Test center. I hadnt had my lunch, so I went to a nearby hotel Banana Leaf, gave order and sat. For one last time, I went over the Confirmation Letter. I saw everything was right : the Test center, time, but ..
But the test date was wrong. It was Oct 21. (three days ago). I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. I had erred and that too on the wrong side of the test date. I canceled my order, and took the first bus back to the college.
So now, I have to get a new date : Nov 2. (My AGRE is on Nov 3, definitely). I have been deciding important events in my life by tossing coins (whether to take third year advanced classes or not of DS and Algos course). Have been more into taking the classes, making random permutations of serial numbers to ask questions in that order, etc.
It seems I put my life on Auto-pilot. Its time I took control over my life. I am not taking any classes now. Booking a new date of TOEFL and studying really hard for AGRE.

Hey cyber ..Don't you think that your taking the advanced classes and doing that TOEFL blunder are two independent events??
They may have been independent events, had I not got preoccupied with the classes, trying hard to be impartial, etc.
I dont want to blame anyone, it is me alone who is responsible for it.
The classes had effects, some good some bad. Now is not the time to learn communication skills. Now is the time to slog hard and revise all I have learned in CS.
