Things You Should and Should Never do When You're New to A School

If you're joining in kindergarten things are so easy to get along with.You're your silly, small, innocent,forgetful, cute self.So nobody has a problem with it because everybody is more or less the same at that age.A little fight over some silly thing is forgotten before the day ends.That way it's so convenient to get along with the other kids.Its pretty fine till you've reached teenage.It's funny how things go so horribly weird around this time.I don't know about other teens but I get really conscious when among an unfamiliar crowd.So far, going to a new school has been most terrifying for me.I gathered the following over the past 3 months about things you can,can't,should and shouldn't and won't be able to do when you're new(if you are a girl):

1. You just won't be fully satisfied with how things run in this new place.I kept comparing my old school to this new one and realised i had been living in heaven that just looked like hell.

2.Don't smile too much.It can be potentially a dangerous thing to do. You don't wanna give them any ideas too soon.:D

3.Keep things friendly.Talk to everybody.Take a diplomatic stance in everything.You are not aware of the gang-grudges,sneaks and complaint-boxes yet.

4. Don't stare at anyone.Just don't.

5.Don't mess with your class-teacher even she's the worst woman you've ever coem across in your whole career.She'll make sure your gonna be just NOT fine.

6.Don't mess with the kids even if you have dared to do the above.They'll kill you before summer vacations!

7.Try being upto date in your work even if you're a regular slacker.At least for a week.Because first impression really do count(at least for aweek).Later you can be your sweet slacky self and get screwed how many ever times you like(it's kinda fun:P..being your teacher's pet peeve).

8.Share you stuff with the other kids.Say nice things and listen to all their crap.All the better if all these come naturally.It helps a lot in making new friends.Oh and if you're funny,then its a sure shot.Just don't try to be too funny,okay?

9.Even if you are the most irritating unmanageable creature for the teachers it's important to maintain a good rapport with the Principal.Always greet him/her with a nice pleasant,natural(that's really important)respectful smile.No hand in pockets.Courteous.And things like that work well.

10.Don't wear your wristwatch the first day.That gives you a chance to strike up a conversation with your neighbour,starting with 'Hey do you know what time it is?'.If the person you asked is a bore, then ask the next person the same till you find a fun person:D

Good---no, Awesome Hair Day

I had a haircut few days back.I do almost every six months but had not attracted as much attention as this time. Maybe it wouldnt have been sucha big hype were I back in Muscat. But people here in Kerala just can't take it if a 16 year old girl has her hair cropped off below her ears.I guess they have not seen many. The perfect girl here is one who has waist length oiled hair neatly braided and tied with ribbons.Excuse me! So as I walked into school it felt a movie with a hundred pairs of eyes staring at me.Hundred pairs of wide open shocked.,horrified ,surprised( yup! i got all kind of response)eyes.I walked into 11b first looking for Aparna.Loud Gasps, girly screams and more shocked faces.Aswathy screamed her way to me. "Alice!"..yeah i wish. But the closest thing that Alice Cullen and I have in common is the hair(hers is spikier and shorter) because Alice Cullen is a vampire and she's beautiful! The guys all seemed quite confused. They didn't like it. Hahah

The Science Congress, The Elixir And the Opportunity

That's right.I can exaggerate well.Let me tell you what really happened.Today I went to school after an eight-day vacation to Muscat after debating whether i was really tired after the journey or i was just pretending too hard. It was by far the best day at school-partly cuz we weren't really at school.We went for this joy ride and nearly got us killed in this stampede and nearly lost the one of our classmates.(can't i ever stop?----no) I trudged heavily to my classroom still sleepy from the day before.Groggily I helloed n hi'ed everyone.My ever-eager-to-know-more-brainy-stuff friend Kirthana was ranting on about this Indian Science Congress held at the College of engineering,Kariyavattom.She badly wanted to attend the thing and had gone up to the princy for permission a couple of times to take the 11th grade for the exciting science hungama packed with oily nerds. hmm....was all i thought about the marvellous idea.Finally in the second period they sent for us and h

Home is Where the Heart is..

There stands the lonely house. It is a beautiful thing with its ivory walls and polished doors and windows.It gleams pale gold in the afternoons. But the wrought iron gate is always shut.No one comes in or goes out. The windows are never opened. It stands all in glory like a cursed jewel no one will claim But there lives a strange family in this house. They say they are strange creatures. They are never heard speaking except for low moans and some kind of hissing. They have red eyes and their bodies are grey and have bony red feet. If you ask anyone they have never seen them. Then one day I saw them proud pigeons strutting about under the eaves. Few years back when my grandmother died, our ancestral home was abandoned. It was like a mansion amidst a clump of trees like one of those witch castles in old stories. My grandmother wasn't alone all those years. She had her trees and birds and snakes and all those tiny creatures to keep her company. They seem to know her only too well
