arrgghh i'm so frustrated! 15 mins! and tt bloody ***%$ beat me to the spree! damnit! now im refreshing the page every 10 secs wondering whether the person wll refund me. damnit! i saw the spree first! ARRGHHH! this sucks! i want that shirt!
anyways, just bloggina bout something that has been nigging at my mind. The other day, i was sitting in lecture, and as much as i tried, my mind kept zoning out. And this question popped into my head "how on earth did i get myself into uni?"
i find stuff like "Market forecast", statistics or "fragmentation of the process" utterly boring. a page of numbers turns me off. Up to today, i don't even know how to solve one of those "if 5 men can build a doghouse in 3 days, how many days does it take for 8 men to do the same thing?". Once i saw such a question, i wud automatically skip it and go to the next one.. Seriously, it was like i couldnt even bothered to find out what the answer was!
Another example to demonstrate my incredulity at ending up in uni is the one incident in secondary school. I distinctly remember my sec 4 a maths teacher giving out the test papers. When i scanned thru the qustions, i read "COS y" as "cosy" and i remember thinkin "hee hee! cosy!" i swear, i had to read thru the question twice to realise that it meant "COS y" and i remember the exact thought tt popped into my mind then. it was "i'm so screwed for this test."
it's like everything i've been taught has flown out of my head. I can't pronounce chinese right, i can't tell u th 5 types of brickwork, i can't do a quick mental calculation of how much 10% is of a price tag/ bill. It's like everything i felt to be too boring was filtered out of my brain right after exams. Up to now, it's lke the topic of anything grown-upish turns me off..
investment bonds? boring!
stock market? boring!
PM's speech rally? boring! but tell me
celebrity gossip?yes pls!
tv shows? yes pls! How is it i can discuss the story arcs of Heroes, grey's anatomy, criminal minds, bones and share such strong opinions about their characters and acting but when it comes to discussing my views on the PM's speech rally, i go str8 into a daydream?
gaahhh! i wish i wasnt such a bimbo. if i was a serious scholar who has her brillant brain set on being a business mogul then maybe i will be looking at the business times instead of reaching for the comics section in the newspapers. if i was a serious intelligent and focused person, i would actually follow people's intelligent conversation instead of makng nice intelligent grunts and nodding knowledgeably whilst thinking "what is this guy talkin about and why on earth did he choose to wear those shoes??"
ah wells... i just wondered how i managed to get thru all the maths, and science and history and all ... and to end up in uni??? i just cant believe my luck that's all! :D
even though i still tink spore's uni is a bit screwed up in the sense tt it's not teaching us life skills like better critical thinkin skills, and how to look at stuff in a diferent angle and discovering ourselves.. bt that's a topic for anothe postt...
i just finished season 1 of bones and criminal minds and man! criminal minds is a one serious kick-ass show! garcia is all kinds of awesome! I may have just found the alternaative to Grey's anatomy! so then!
next on my list is
1. entourage
