3rd year burn out
Sian leh... I hate being a whinner. I'm sorry to anyone who have to be tortured by this moan-ish post of mine. But school is really getting very sian! Very[to the power of 1000000000000]. Hey hey, I use to be so enthu and excited in 1st and 2nd year. Just look at the year 1s, they are the happy bunch of magpies. I was once like that. All rushing to get books and photocopy endlesss pages of reading. Happily turning up early to get good seats. Ok maybe I'm a bit strange lah.. but I was honestly excited for lectures. I still am, kind of.. not really. Ha ha! Now I understand why senior always drag their feet, turn up late, don't have readings, look like they need an ice-cold shower and regular coffee injection into their system. By the way, I'm still not succumbing to coffee! Yes! I've manage so far without becoming a coffee addict. (congratulate myself*)
'NUS! you are not going to make me one of those coffee zombies!' Hey maybe someone should make a parody of zombie movies. Set in a university, where people turn into coffee zombies one by one and bash each other for a limited supply of coffee. Then, when the coffee effects wear off, they just roam around campus looking dazed...For maximum dramatic effect, can make them mumble chemical formulas or sprout philosophies. I think might work. Any directors wanna-bes out there, can consider this.
Anyway, back to the main theme. Boredom is setting in real bad.... I still like history, but maybe not so much the academic setting. I'm sick of always just listening to some professor talking, doing a lot of readings, then writing essays. Hey there are so many ways to learn, why must it always be in this pattern? Why can't I make an art piece for an exam for a change. Or maybe put up a play to explain my thoughts. how about pictures... Not microsoft words again. Double spaced. Font size 12. Times New Roman.
Happy are those who are in their 1st year. (ha!) They who know not the repetitive pattern in store. Woe to those who are bored. They who have written too many essays.
Need to slap myself a little, to get back in shape. Or maybe I should turn to coffee too...
