Sometimes, it's amazing how the smallest of things can make one so happy. And, today was one of those days for me. :)
I had gone to the college to attend the only two lectures that we had, and yes! We, the DU kids, don't have many classes a day. If I ever say, "I had a very long day today", that would probably translate to this, "Dude, don't mess with me, I had to get up early in the morning today at 9 and I had to attend FOUR bloody-long lectures today, and yes, I am feeling cranky because of this!" :P
Anyway, so I went to college and since I wasn't feeling good today, I decided I would go back home early without attending the second lecture. I went to the teacher who was supposed to take the second lecture and asked her if I could leave. She permitted me to leave, but before I could leave, she suggested me to have a look at the answer that she had corrected for me. I, half-heartedly, agreed. Obviously, who would want to know that you haven't scored well, I am no exception, after all.
Antara ma'am took out the bundle of sheets and handed them over to me, so that I could pick out my answer script. And, I started going through the names of all kinds: muggers, intellectuals, and people like me. And then my heart felt happy for a nanosecond...*yay! there's my name!*...and then the very next moment it dawned upon me...*dude, you found your paper?! Wtf?! You could've taken longer to find your sheet, huh?!* So I started reading my paper, and amazingly enough, I had scored decent, in fact, a little above decent too. 9 on 15. Not too bad for a literature student. :D And then I noticed something on the first paper, my teacher had written a remark which said, "A very nice way to begin the answer! :) (complete with the smiley!)" And trust me, I felt so freaking happy! But my teacher noticed me smiling like an idiot, and said, "Tanushri, you do know you could've done way way better than that, right? I am disappointed!", and I felt happier listening to this. She feels disappointed in me? Awesome. She thinks I can do better than this...great!! And this is because I didn't think I can.
Obviously, now I do.

(Smileys are good, aren't they?)
