The Nerd and The Awkward

Well it's time for the finals again. And also, the whooshing rumbling rush of tests is leaving no time for fancy talk. Throughout the day there are so many instances of conversations, where I think everytime, " I can so write about this". But time eludes me.

The semester is coming to a close end. The 5th semester that is. So is my time in India. It feels wierd to even go through that in my head.
Anyway, I just peeked in here, cheating myself out into a much undeserved break from having to study Normal Distribution Curves and Sample Distribution, for my Statistics test tomorrow afternoon.

Okay, so there is this one thing. I have this friend. Who is total sitcom material. She is just naive and innocent and absolutely, completely unsure of herself under any situation under the sun. And of course, unbelievably adorable and cute in all her ineptness.
I have recently considered weighing in her 'Adventures with Awkwardness' into this blog.

So look out for more of these:


Me (entering her room, her open wardrobe gaping helplessly at me - which, incidentally, looked like it had been ransacked by mad bull-dogs on loose.) : Why are you fighting with your bag?
Her : I am looking for clean clothes to wear to college.
(I was starting to wonder how we would make it to class on time with less than 2 minutes to spare and a potentially deranged lunatic literally yelling at her much dilapidated kitbag which had not been unpacked in over a month.)
Me: Have you looked in the wardrobe.
Her: No.
Me: Okay.
Her: (Another loud wail, which basically is her way or cursing the bag)
Me: Why are you assaulting that bag?
Her (blankly): Because all the clean clothes are in here.
Me: What's in the wardrobe?
Her (nonchalantly): Oh, all of those haven't been washed for ages.
Me (apparently unaffected by the last comment): Oh, okay.

I silently went back to waiting for her mad tussle with a thousand different inanimate objects to finally wear her out into picking up a T-shirt from the much conspicuous pile on her bed.
We didn't make it to class on time. But that didn't hurt.
All that matters is the unsurpassable hysterics of the Nerd and the Awkward, first thing in the morning. Doesn't it?

please write any experience with me,either good or bad,and when i m unknown with it. becos ur imagination
and thought process is very strong.i think that ur classmates have just admired you but if i would have been at their place,i would have learnt something new from you and i think they dont know that they dont know that they are living with a personality which will definitely bring a new light in future.
