I am a slacker.

There is no higher life. (Disgrace)
This year my perspectives and mindsets really got broken down and reformed.
Pre U sem did the major reformation in perspectives.
There is no higher life. Only a contented life.
It is just a different form of living.
Not being exposed to something, doesn't make me less inferior to you, it simply means my interest does not coincide with yours. Took me years to even find out this concept.

Linguistics politics.
There is a difference between
Being Silent and
Silencing Someone.
Being Silent = Forcing someone to speak, to fill up the silences and emptiness in the conversation. You create discomfort.
Silencing Someone = To strategically maneuver the conversation to evade the topic you wish not to engage in. You insistently force the other party to make no mention of a point that can be used in argument against you by changing the topic. You evade and manipulate.
This i learnt from Lit consultation. It blew me away. I never gave thought to the differences of silence, and the effects created.
Silence is Speech

This week my hopes of doing well for the subjects i am good in, is reduced to crumbles, as our tutors and lecturers keep exposing us to different ways the questions are phrased, and how each student so easily fall into the traps set.
I am still holding on to God s hand, hence he would do something with the crumbles i see now.
I break conventions, hence i tend to not answer to the question at hand, and hence my poor results, which education deems as a failure, yet i see it as my uniqueness.
Yes, i still assert my uniqueness.
