Exams... and an upcoming holiday!

I am in the midst of school exams at the moment - four down, three to go! I've got calculus tomorrow and the Excellence questions are near impossible to do. I'm officially doomed...

On the plus side, once exams are over, there are only 12 days before we leave for India! I think now would be a good time to mention that, even though I live in New Zealand, I was actually born in India and lived there till I was two. This will be our first visit there in four years and I'm feeling excited and apprehensive at the same time. Excited because, well, it's a trip overseas! There's shopping to look forward to, as well as visiting cousins and seeing the sights (we're actually going to see the Taj Mahal this time!). 

But apprehensive because it's always nerve-racking being judged by your relatives, especially if you haven't seen them in a while. Also, I'm not looking forward to facing the poverty that is so evident on the streets and side-alleys. The last time we visited I was twelve and, somehow, I was able to deal with it. This time around, I'm not so sure.

Anyway, the scent of the holidays is growing stronger (yes, in my mind holidays do have a scent) and, even though I still have three exams to go, I'm already feeling excited!
