haven't updated in quite a while
in fact i haven't been using the computer for ages (or at least what feels like ages to me)
not that the thought of blogging didn't strike me a few times over the past week
just that there's so much to talk about, so much to vent, so much to reflect, that when i begin to type it out, i wonder if it's just me who cares about such matters.
well, school's reopened already and the first week's been survivable i guess.
i've heard the phrase "it's going to be a short term" at least 4 times this week and i guess it's been the driving force for me to just swallow all the complains, tie myself to the study table and start revising.
as much as i'd like to believe that not doing exceedingly well does not mean that i'd fail in life eventually, this streak of revision fever is "dedicated" to my parents more than anyone else. sure, it's for my own future as well, but i still feel that there's more to life than that.
of course, amidst this studying mania, i don't desire/ lust/ attempt to be anywhere near the tops. it's been a period of witnessing people being so obsessed about studies you really question whether they actually have a life anywhere outside the textbooks. to me, it's just plain pathetic when the only topics of conversation they have is "did you get the same answer as me? have you finished this and that homework? did you study this and that? teacher teacher, why did i not get the right answer? ohhhh i see now. i made a careless mistake, how dumb of me." and every single attempt to make a joke just unavoidably draws a big yawn out of you.
so it's gonna be a busy term and definitely, being busy's good.
makes you temporarily forget so many things you don't want to recall.
