Pot Luck...

I always get incredibly nervous the day before a math exam. Maybe because math is a subject that I always assume I’m supposed to know. Maybe because a maths exam can go horrible even if you are reasonably well prepared. And if you are reasonably unprepared theres more chance of that happening.

Living in a hostel which has common bathrooms and toilets gives you few unexpected perks. For example, if you pass bowel movements at the 1 in the morning you might actually get company. Not that you need or particularly want company when you take a shit. Maybe just hearing another person in the cubicle next to you use the pot doesn’t qualify as company. I also found a 5 rupee coin today on the floor next to the pot. It seemed somehow wrong and gross to pocket the money but I did anyway. And I felt like it was a lucky coin. I mean, how many times do you expect to find money in a bathroom? Now, I’m feeling like a lucky man. This would explain why I’m not studying or worried for tomorrow’s graphics exam. It’s funny how little things can make you feel better.

What do you call it when you’re up at two in the morning and you can’t sleep and don’t study for an exam that you have that morning at nine because you feel lucky? I want to say its courage or faith but I’m pretty sure its just stupidity.
