Getting older

My last post was quite some time back; fact is, I feel too lazy too exert myself nowadays. What with my busy schedule, and...oh wait, I don't have a busy schedule. Basically I'm becoming a lazy slouch - maybe exam time was good for me after all.
Well anyway, my 18th birthday's come and gone, and I can safely say that I haven't gotten any wiser than I was before. Yes, I do get to vote now (I could even vote for Tapas Pal, who is reportedly a local municipality bigwig), but it is sort of saddening to think that I am now a responsible citizen - was much better off being an irresponsible little kid!
At least I get my driving license - finally. Might make adulthood worth it, actually. In fact, I was even offered an astounding 5% discount if I wanted to learn how to drive an auto-rickshaw...ah yes - every man's dream, that.
Along with adulthood also comes a whole lot of responsibilities, and to commemorate the occasion, I would like to make a few resolutions:

1. I will learn to drive. I will learn to drink. I will not do both at once, since at this point, I can hardly handle either.

2. I will not touch my books in college until I have been threatened with expulsion. Thrice.

3. I will forever be a voice of the oppressed, a helping hand for the needy. Yeah, right.

4. I will NOT randomly pick out a button when I finally get to enter the polling booth for the first time in my life. Note: This includes eeny meeny miny mo, inky pinky ponky, and other such mechanisms enabling me to achieve same.

5. I will exercise caution when watching late-night television. Note: refer to point no.3 for comment.

Guess that's about it. I'll try and keep from succumbing to lethargy in order to be a bit more regular with the posts. And in case I don't, you can always leave a comment or two.
