Total Solar Eclipse tomorrow! Biggest of the century. [Go HERE to read more about it.]

Actually, I didn't even know about it till a few hours ago. I thought school was starting an hour late tomorrow because of the CBSE compartment exams or something. A 10thie enlightened me. Kids never leave a chance to run you down. = /

Anyway! I'm going to watch it. Through a pinhole camera, ofcourse. Not that stoopid. [Tangent: "Stupid" looks so much better when you type it with two 'o's instead of one 'u'.] How I'll get a pinhole camera, you ask? Why, I'm going to make one myself! From a Pringles ka khaali dabba. Made one for my 8th grade Science Project. Fuuun!

I'm going to bike around town tomorrow morning till it's time for the eclipse. Then, I'ma cyckle to the Sector 16 vaali market and watch it with E [the 10thie]. And eat my all-time fave combo of Coke + Lays Magic Masala. Then, I'm going to have to go back home and go to school. Sheh!

Speaking of which. My English teacher [who is also my Class Teacher] is a bitch. No, scratch that. A vindictive, crafty, frustrated, petty bitch. Bittu The Bitch for short. She's after mine and S's lives! Had kardi! It's like she's waiting for us to to even think about breaking her rules [which are just a pathetic excuse for her to be able to ruin our lives so she can distract herself from her sad, sad life] so she can pounce on us and threaten to call home.

Leh. Ismein kya hai? Karle phone! Tujhe hi jhaad padegi! Heh. Ma's ready to gun her down. Contemplating suing her for causing me mental trauma. Ahaha! Seriously, yaar. Mallab she has a problem with me drinking water in class! Says it "distracts" her. A more disturbing thing, I haven't heard. What, the sight of me tilting my head back and pouring cold, sweet water into my open mouth renders her speechless? She loses all conscious thought? Mental.

Chalo. Time for me to go and try to follow my timetable for today. Keyword: "try".

REM

Dreamt I was in Chandigarh and there was a car on the road driving itself. I stopped it multiple times and tried to find out who was driving it.

Scene changes. In school now. School is Sanskriti, only had Carmel's infrastructure - only a better cleaner Carmel. Has Sanskriti people + people I've never met. This particularly strict Maths teacher is sitting in the class I'm in, and G and P are in a different section. The only people I know who're with me in this section are Baarish (who seems to be pissed with me), Salsa and Tharra.I somehow tell somebody from the other class to tell the teacher we're needed upstairs. She doesn't believe us and asks somebody to go and confirm. Varsha volunteers before I can.

She takes ages but ultimately comes back with Saxy, who's a known goody-two-shoes (she's strapped with two backpacks, don't know why), who convinces madamji that we ARE needed.So she agrees reluctantly and we go upstairs to the other class. G and P ignore me completely and I do the same and go sit with AB and Salsa and Saxy like we used to the 7th grade.Then somehow I'm watching a guy playing some videogame on his chhotu laptop. 2-3 other people are playing on their lappys, too.

Then I wake up. Weird or what?
