start of (study) break
hmm, thanks for the feedback. so i DO make sense. whew! for a moment i thought i was just rambling on and on >_>
right. lotsa things happened this week, yet it seems not so. time passes fast when we're focussed, not when we're enjoying things. and sue, you're kinda scary. you LIKE exams? O.o oook... have fun and good luck >_>
gp essays... i really need a structure. for some reason i can't plan essays properly. they just come. more like, ideas flow as i write, AFTER i get my intro settled. usually my strong intro is the uh.. catalyst i guess hehe. no intro, no essay. simple. which was why i had trouble with the planning today... yea..
here's a little break since we're on the subject of love and marriage (which was one of the questions today, IMO) what do businesses, war, love and the stock market have in common? no it's not that they don't involve teachers, please that joke was old'ed. answer?
GAME THEORY
took me about 2 weeks to realize that ><>_>) planning your moves according to what you think others will do. same isn't it? actually they're all about self-explanatory so... think about that a little =P
...
and yes... i was just gonna say... everyone has their little Moeko in their lives. no it's not a common phrase or what not, it's just something i coined from something i read somewhere (am i being vague enough? ^_^") basically there are things that happen, or people that do something, which pulls you out from depression, restores your faith in people. they are often overlooked, but are offered at times when you most need it. happened to me last week. not gonna go into details, but finally i appreciate why teachers say a hand-made card or a hand-written card ismroe valuable than any bought and wrapped present. after all, it is, ultimately, the thought and effort put in that counts. i still have the card attached with me. things that mean the most to you, should be put near the bed, such that you see it when you wake up. reminds you of the things that are important in your life.
(i'm sure you've all heard this story time and again but i'm just repeating myself here)
a philo prof once came to class carrying a large glass jar. he filled with to the brim with golf balls. he then asked the class "is the jar full?" the class agreed it was. he then produced pebbles, which he also poured into the jar. the pebbles, being smaller than the golf balls, rolled into open spaces. the prof then asked the class once more and they agreed it was full. the prof then pulled out some sand, which he poured into the jar, effectively filling it up. (i cut off the rest of the story because it's not relevant to what i have to say here)
if you've read the story before, feel free to skip whatever i'm saying now because i'm just repeating. for those who have not, think of the glass jar as your life. if we fill it up with all the unimportant stuff, like reputations, image and what not, we won't have space for what's IMPORTANT to us, represented by the golf balls. fill yourself up with what is important. if you lost everything else but kept the golf balls, your life remains full. keep them close to your heart, the rest is just sand.
...
i really wonder about the promotional exams... i don't think they'd outright detain us if we fail to obtain a pass grade. there should be some semblance of a re-exam or something, otherwise i'd be seeing a lot of J1s who are one year older than us, and yet i don't see a single one. so, something must be up in the spannerworks. just ave to figure out what it is.
it's 1:52 now. need sleep to study hard tomorrow. leave comments as usual please =P
P.S. it's tempting to talk more about intelligence versus diligence, but i'd be inviting flames and maybe a personal call from the ISD so... lets leave it at that. >_>
