I would blog about summer test.
Here i am and i have a phrase to sum it all up, "It is by far a large scale disaster."
I felt like i was preparing for O level prelims, within 3 days. The content is not as much, but the amount to be absorbed in this short time frame is staggering.
I was wondering if there is a point in testing us prematurely, something Innova is quite good at doing. No one is fully prepared for summer test. In fact most were rather unprepared and did as much as time permits.
After maths paper, i was thinking that maybe...we should call ourselves Insane Junior College. Bet no other JCs had their summer test in this period.
June holiday makes a hell lot of difference for revision.
Summer test has been quite a bumpy ride.
I thought that maybe education wasnt about getting the A s, but instead the tenacity to keep pressing on and staying motivated to learn, even after every setback and failure.
I have a lot more to say for summer test and all, but i am rather saturated and tired now, and would spare you readers the details.
Maybe the problem with us, or what education has done to us, is that we fail to accept failure. We fail to accept our imperfection and only strive for perfection. However true that may be, doesnt that cause us to do something that we are not made to do? Striving for perfection when we by nature, to begin with, are imperfect?
By the way, this short argument given above, is imperfect. It might just be a fallacy, who knows?
I thought about this in one of the chem lectures:
You think you are right, but you are wrong, therefore you are wrong in thinking you are right.I find it difficult to switch from Gp writing style, to lit, to econs, to maths and chem. Every subject requires a different kind of writing style, and terms and diagrams are used at different areas. I have yet to master the skill of switching styles as and when i want. Guess thats the price to pay for being multi dimensional.
One of my greatest benefit in education at this point in time, would be to learn how to switch writing styles as and when i want.
My heart isnt jumping up and down for Pre U sem, which is arriving in 3 days?
My mind cant really be bothered about piano lesson tomorrow morning, and i have barely touched the piano for past week or so.
I seemed to have failed to recall that i am back stage manager for my school concert on Saturday. That s not true i just did.
The first half of 08 has been awesome, many things in my life changed, but glad God is still here. Honestly, he made this year awesome. It would have been really different without God, so at this point, my heart is filled with deep gratitude for all his doings in my life.
God thank you for holding my hand through this first half of the year, especially the past few days.
Sex is not a basic need, it is a basic function. A basic need would be like water, oxygen and food. If you do not have water, oxygen or food, you will die. However, if you do not have sex you will not die. Hence, sex is a basic function.
