bleh
maybe I should just give up school and do something else with my life): I know this is like, being totally unappreciative of the privilege of going to school, but right now I really feel so..bleh. Like, everyone is talking about holiday homework and upcoming assessments and here I am with my homework untouched (let alone actual studying for SAs). AHHH I'M SO WORRIED AND SCARED RIGHT NOW but I can't bring myself to do anything.
I am the epitome of procrastination.
y'know I think the problem (other than the procrastination, because yes I am aware that procrastination is the main problem.) is that we are doing all this for the exams. Like, when I was in primary school and freaked out before every exam, my mum used to tell me not to worry, because as long as you've been listening in class and whatnot, you'll be fine. Because exams are meant to be a sort of checkpoint, to test what you have learnt, and to make sure that you are listening and learning. But that's not how it is anymore. Now, all the studying, the work, the learning is meant to let you pass/do well for your exams, and as long as the results show, no one actually cares if you've learnt anything at the end of the day. I mean, is that really what education is all about? Cos personally, if there were no exams, or at least if we had exams to test our learning, and not learning to pass the exam, then I would be happy to learn. I would take all the subjects there are cos I actually really enjoy learning. So you see, exams actually spoil the learning experience for some students.
(Of course this is ignoring the majority of students who would probably not study at all if there weren't any exams, cos this is just in my opinion.)
Who knows, maybe I'd be a genius if it weren't for the schooling system.
But yes, this is just me, procrastinating. still. AHHHHHHHHHHH I hate homework.
p.s. I was just kidding about the giving up school part. I'm not actually going to give up school. Unfortunately.

about
raining candies
I am many things.
I am a lean mean book machine.
I am a hip hop ballerina.
I am a quirky weirdo.
I am on the pursuit of happyness.
I am trying to stay realistically optimistic.
I believe a little faith, trust and pixie dust can solve many problems.
I also believe that being environmentally friendly will save the world.
I love technology, music, candy and God.
I will never develop an eating disorder because I don't have that determination to resist food.
