well. finally got the moderated grades out today, not that i'm delighted with them or anything, but here they are anyway:
Bio - C
Econs - C
Chem - D
Maths - D
Nice and easy. My tradition of making little words out of my grades has been disrupted (FADE for promos, DACE for MCTs). Well, I don;t know what to think. I'm going from an extreme case person (large variance,etc, ranges from A to F) to a sort of average, passable person (Cs and Ds, blah) Is that a good thing? I have funny images of flattened out sine curves in my head, you know, change in magnitude in both positive and negative directions, etc etc...but i digress.
Oh well. Its only June. HAfi and Sherrina and me have a nice filled out study plan in the early stages of implementation. Pray hard that it works. Speaking of which..sherri's *surprise* birthday rocked! Hanging out at Yakun eating toast at 8pm at night rocked! Eating 2 cakes in 4 days rocked! And greetings to Charlie Orales Chen.
Nothing much to say actually. I'm back to sleepless mode though. Slept at 2 last night, as a result of which i woke up at 6.45, nearly an hour later than i usually do. And i was late, but fortunately it rained. Rain is a good excuse for lateness. Its also very soporific, which explains my skipping chem lecture
*guilty-ness* BUT nonetheless, today was interestingly productive....managed to study a chapter of econs, play tennis, and run, all within the space of the 4 hours after school.
Yes, life CAN be interesting
Ravi Menon says that the subjects you study in school don't matter because in the workforce, its flexible competitiveness that counts and not domain knowledge.
And so technically, a history student could become the manager of a multinational company because as long as he has synapses that fire in the right directions he can just pick up relevent skills
along the way
What ideal universe does he live in? Isn't that the whole point of there being different subject combinations? You see yourself doing something sciency in future, therefore you give up lit to study chem. There are like, requirements for studying certain subjects in uni? Like, a pure arts person can't just simply hop over into a science fac if he decides that that's where his interent
really lies. And yep, the question of what provisions there were for arts students was pretty nicely hedged. Wouldn't you expect a person studying humanities to want to do sth associated with that in the future? And what jobs are there, besides teaching, that really allow these people to pursue their interests?
Ugghhh come on down from the clouds hello?
My nose is honking non-stop. im catching a cold, sigh. Shall we end here?
