For the first time, i feel odd in my life, my perseverance in school work is paying off for me, i am very satisfied with how i did in my mid-sem tests but there are just some things troubling my mind at the moment..
I have always told myself during the long holidays that this semester will be tough and it will be one heck of a test, i have to say that facing the idea of having to endure long hours in school, depriving yourself of sleep and the natural isolation of yourself from your friends for work is an ugly reality of the current world, the disturbing pace of how things revolves around me is at times driving me mad, this is definitely one grueling and demanding test where the outcome is uncertain, making this even all the more weird..
I really question the true purpose of putting so much at stake for good grades, spending less time with your family & friends, having fewer opportunities to play golf, feeling practically 'dead' in your life with work being what you interact with every day, so boring and mundane for the life of an 18 year old.. Are these really all worth it for those few alphabets on your grades slip? What do you think? My take is that the imbalance of a student's life is unacceptable but then again, theres nothing me and you can do about this, every individual is forced to live up to their own expectations that are inflated by the competitive environment around us.. Gosh!
Good night my readers!
