Spidey, me, Johnny in labyrinth

The title of my other blog reads ' exploiting the urge to waste time in face of piles of work load'. Its amazing how much this line pretty much sums me up. After seven semesters of toiling, having seriously considered four career options, two of which are outrageously funny or ingenious, I have finally narrowed down on one definite move I do want to make which, thankfully, is highly conventional.
CAT is like cricket. Everybody has a theory in his mind that because of such & such reason, I have an edge over everybody else and I would do better than others. I am no different except the fact that I know that everybody feels what I feel.
Life is getting really hectic as CAT is drawing nearer day by day.
For the sake of juniors and batch mates who are also preparin for CAT, here is an account of one of my days as I slog it out thirteen hours a day for a make or break exam.
Date:11th Oct.
I got up at nine and without bathing, dressed in sporty shorts and t-shirt left for college as Electronics was slated to play Electrical in the semi finals of the Intra college cricket tournament.
Well, we lost and it hurt. We were the defending champions and the favorites.
Ashish (name changed) got into two fights during the match and grew grumpier every minute.
Hit, bruised, tanned all over I reached home, bathed, and got back to my latest addiction( which has nothing to do with CAT) The New York Times. It is as addictive as they get. I have spent more time on NYT than I have on youtube of late. Honestly!
Then it was Johnny Gaddar's turn. I love the name Johnny Cigar and wanted for long adopt this as my pen name. But the movie's title's similarity puts an end to that. My pen name cant be inspired by a bollywood movie.
The movie is nice. Well knit script, above average direction hence nice performances and different plot make the movie worth a watch.
As the movie took its last breaths, Bhai called up to ask me to jon him for Bhool Bhulaiya (cleverly mentioned in the title as labyrinth*wicked laughter*). I was disappointed when I read that HT has given it just two stars. It deserves three. I liked it.
As the clock struck 11, and I got back home with my knee cap, pelvic bone, right palm, the wedding ring finger, thigh, left calf crying in extreme pain from the afternoon match and the lack of rest there from, I for some reason decided to watch spidey. It was on the top of my movies missed because of the Paris trip list and been wanting to watch for a long time.
The movie disappointed though. But it wont make you regret the time spent on it.
At this point I reflected back on the day. Calculated that it is one month to CAT for which I am yet to stat preparing. What am I thinking.
A line from ATOI:
"No matter how convincing it sounds, you can never write me off"

That makes you exactly like everyone else.
IMO ofcourse.
