Freedom!!!

Albert Einstein once said "Everything that is really great and inspiring is created by the individual who can labour in freedom." And, as is better known with us ISC-ians, the monster Caliban from Shakespeare's "Tempest" sang (and here he have to admire both his vocabulary and his eloquence!), "Freedom! High day! High day! Freedom! Freedom! High day! Freedom!". I could throw in part of a Beatles song as well, but my highly genial readers will inflict injury upon me if I do, and I like my current state of health very much, so I will refrain. Anyway, bottom line is, I'm free!!! Not another entrance exam for atleast another 3 years! Woo hoo!
Now, I have reached a state where I am not compelled to do anything at all (Except clean my room - the one bad thing to come out of end of exams, since I now have no excuse left for no clearing my room!). This leaves me time to...
(a) Scream "No exams!!! Muahahaha!!!!" approximately a million times a day.
(b) Read a whole lot of books for the god-knows-whicheth time.
(c) Spend the whole day making weird accesories that I assure myself I will wear, but know deep in my heart I will never end up wearing.
(d) Increase my weight by way of excess consumption and lack pf physical exercise.
(e) Catch up on tons of movies that I never really wanted to see.
(f) Start following millions of serials.
(g) Do such useless things online as listen to certain songs played backwards so that I may hear the satanic verses my friends have told me about.
(h) Constantly remind myself that even though my boards went off extremely well, I got my behind kicked in all the entrance exams, and my board exam marks will get me nowhere decent, and I will probably end up studying in some halli* college.
(i) Follow the French Open, aaaaaaaaand... (Drumroll!!!)
(j) [And this one oughta be familiar to all those who read my blog a year ago ] Go gaga over Rafael Nadal in the hope that he defends his French Open title!!! (Yeah yeah... I'm aware of the fact that the last statement just lost me 89.579% of readership!)

So that, my friends, is an account of what has kept me busy (Or not!) over the past 3 days. Any suggestions of movies to watch, books to read, food to try, websites to surf and/or serials to follow are welcome!

*halli - A word from practically all south Indian languages meaning 'village'. More popularly, a generic term used to describe everything that's slightly backward/ a little slow on the uptake/ all-in-all not that great. Eg. "That girl, aah? She's a halli one!" expresses disdain over the fact that the aforementioned girl is a little village-y.
