the new year!

4 years ago, during new year visits...

Relations: So what are you doing right now..?
Me: A Degree at so and so place... Its for 5 years ... (puts on a false important/worried face)

The following year, during new year visits...

Relations: What year are you now in?
Me: 2nd... (Repeats some details which were already mentioned last year)

And the following year, during new year visits...

Relations: How many years more?
Me: (A dull) 3

The year after, during new year visits....

Relations: When are you gonna finish your degree?
Me: Year after the next... (feeling relieved...there's more time to worry...)

THIS YEAR, during new year visits...

Relations: When are you going to finish?
Me: *Gulp* Next year...
(And dreading it...
)
