Hey there! I just changed my blogskin :) It's a little user-unfriendly because you can't navigate my past posts by headings or hashtags. So i'm gonna update the codings, stay tuned! (The font's kinda hard to read too..other than these 3 peeves, i'm quite satisfied) Follow me on the links below! :) 29/4/2015.
Started this blog during the last few weeks of SEM1(AY2014/15) cos' i regained interest in blogging. I blog about anything - news, social issues, music - but mostly about my university life :) Hope my posts will help you to make better life (and module) choices! Currently a Sociology Major. Still fresh. xD
I was pondering if i should make this blogpost cos i still have an infinity amount of readings to finish.
But i figured i needed an avenue to destress.
I should really keep up with my exercises..it really helps to destress! And shake off some excess fats haha.
Today i got back my results for one of my group projects, it was okay i guess - considering that fact that we cramped it all in 2 days. (Due to communication issues with our tutor..) Logically speaking, i should be happy with my B+ -- for we had less than 2 days to work on a 3k paper -- but i'm dissatisfied.
SIGH. AND THE PROBLEM IS THATthat's not the problem. Yup you didn't read wrong.. The problem is that i'm dissatisfied with me being dissatisfied with my grades lol.
Why am i so grade-centric? Why do i think like this? Ugh. I really hate people who put that schema in my head. But it's so subtle and implicit, you just can't help it. Its ingrained in the S'pore education system.
(irrelevant random thought: me blaming the 'social', typically sociologist mentality LOL HAHA)
Lucky my project groupmates and some of my friends' comments cheered me up and made me reflect upon my thoughts, somehow lifting me from my 'false consciousness' haha.
We are all striving so hard for that A, i know i don't deserve it (for this project..after all we cramped in less than 2 days), but i want it so much OH GAWD.
This is bad.
I just fear that my efforts won't pay off. I've really invested much more effort in my other 2 projects and i really hope I'll hit an A- at least.
But i really dislike myself for being so grade centric. I guess .. at some point in time we're all like that. Then we'll hopefully progress and mature, and truly understand that grades are not all that important. Knowing and understanding is different. I know grades aren't everything but i can't put my feet in those shoes and really understand why. Sigh.
I just hope my efforts pay off.. ><
Who doesn't?
OH WELL ANYWAY WE STILL HAVE FINALS, IT'S OUR LAST CHANCE, GOGOGO!
// oh and i figured out how to change your FB profile pic without announcing it on everyone's timeline. HAHAHA. yay and so i changed my profile pic *happy winks* lulz
You just have to create a private album (with the pic you want as your profile pic) and set to "only me" can view, and set it as profile pic from there. And adjust the privacy settings when you immediately change your pic! (These settings are only avail. if that album is private. SO MAFAN. IKR. but its easy peasy haha.)
Specially typed here for those out there who think like me HAHA (see prev post)

“To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment; who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly, attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.”
- James Allen Quotes
Sometimes I wonder how people see me and what they think of me. It scares me a bit, honestly. I am sure though, that what they think of me,
what they think my life is, is a complete misperception. I have always tried to show myself as a carefree person, as someone who wont get bothered
because of public judgements. I am sure my friend and family think there is nothing going wrong in my life, that I do not worry enough, that
I am always happy. And I am sure they probably somewhat hate me for it because, lets admit it, there is nothing worse than seeing someone
who is life seems so perfect while yours is a complete mess. Truth is, I have become an expert at pretending. I think we are all experts
or at least we are getting there.
