What's the rationalE towards going to school?
Why are there so many university students? To gain knowledge? Well, I did say something about knowledge in my previous postings. So, maybe not. To gain more insight? Perhaps. To learn how to socialize? Maybe. To evaluate how wonderful the lecturers and tutors have been? Probably. Or just to do well in exams, get a degree and say bye bye to the darn local education system? I think the last one's more so for most people.
Sometimes, people enter university simply because it's just a 'trend'. After you complete A levels, obviously you'll go up to university and get your degree. That's the 'norm' to do things here, in Singapore. So is school a place to party? To be educated? To get to know more people? To decide on your future career? Guess it differs from one person to another.
Maybe that's why some people can't get along that well with some people because they do not hold a similar goal in mind even though we're all undergraduates. And yes, I'm getting to my point here: CHOOSE YOUR PROJECT MATES WISELY! That's important, really, it really really is! Otherwise they'll jeopardize your future in that module! Some choose to be more serious in their work, preparing stuff everytime project group meet up, some just come, sit, wander and the only thing that comes out of their mouth is, "So what am I supposed to do?"
Okok, it isn't that bad, but some people just ain't co-operating! Going all the way down to school for a project meeting on a day of which I don't have school isn't bad enough, but some people just have to make it worse by saying they overslept and guess what? They stay in HALL!!! Get your bum going! Legs walking! And meet up with us!
The semester will soon be over and I'm glad. Thank God only 1 person I'm working with is like that, and it's already getting on my nerves! Well, forgive and forget. Try try try try try try to accomodate? I've been really nice already, not going to the Hall to bang on the door. Oh well, that's life I guess. You meet all kinds of people. Well, I ain't perfect too. Noone is. Forgive, and be nice. And most importantly, don't be hypocritical.
Exams coming up. Study Study Study!
