TOEFL & AGRE Over

After the screw up of missing my TOEFL date, I finally gave it on Nov 2. It was decent. I will get my scores in 20 days. I kind of rushed through the reading of passages. Speaking section was decent.

Immediately after that I had to go to Coimbatore for my AGRE. Stayed in Hotel Tamil Nadu. Had a hard time finding the Test center, but this time I had woken up (couldn't sleep much actually) at 5:00 am, and left 3 hours prior to the exam time. I solved the AGRE paper with clockwork precision. First pass over the questions in 2 hours, and I had confidently solved 48 questions. A second pass left only 4 questions about which I had little idea. In the last 10 minutes, I eliminated the obvious incorrect alternatives and guessed. Eagerly waiting for the scores, which will come in 20 days.

My grandmother expired 13 days ago. My mother told me to have my hair cut "as short as I wished". I am an atheist. Had my mother asked to shave my head off, I might have refused. But not this. I did shave off my head.
