I’ve a runny nose now. And boy it sucks. It’s been raining rather heavily these days. Chilly night breeze. Like, super chilly. It’s all okay every now and then, but with six hours in air conditioning non-stop during classes, you kinda wish for the opposite. I oppose air conditioning during learning hours. Or for any condition, for that matter. . But whatever; I’ve a flu now and bound to be feverish for the next couple of days, and this against loads of homework to do, and it’s kinda… ugh, stressful. I hate using that word, so no, it’s kinda… troublesome. leceh.
Speaking of academics, there has been a lot of laments and complaints from the lecturers about our uh, marks for last phase tests (or mid-terms), the one we had to sit before the raya holidays. I, for my own part , did rather, shitty-ly, but whatever. The thing is, compared to last semester, where everything is rather easy, this semester seems a bit of a… hassle. More homeworks, more strictly by the book lecturers, more elaborate lab reports. Perhaps, things haven’t changed much; only a few subjects bother us gravely,
But these lecturers, have great expectations towards us, us being “Transfer Degree Students”, the ones who are “gonna fly overseas”, “the selected ones”, “the best from the best”, “dipilih dari result Trial SPM” or that kinda bullshit . Henceforth they expect us to exceed all expectations and have excellent results. Or kalau ini OWL dalam Harry Potter, kau kena dapat O untuk Outstanding. Dah la bagi soalan extra susah, bagi “prepare untuk dunia luar. kat sana, lagi susah”. Macam babi, kan?
The thing is, and the truth about the difference between the secondary education and tertiary education, is that at the university level (i think), you require good studying ethics. Good SPM results doesn’t exactly translates to good working ethics. In school, things are spoonfed, 100% information comes from the teacher himself. Kalau tak pun, ada nota atau buku teks. You don’t need to go to classes or do buku latihan. Kau tak perlu sangat bertungkus lumus nak dapat result gempak. Effortless bebeh. Contoh terbaik semestinya aku. Tapi ini cerita lain.
Hey, but enter undergraduate studies, things are far different, in terms of dependence on learning materials and lectures. There’s homework to be done, little researches and cross referencing between different books and all that pile. Banyak masa kena spend nak buat homework, cause it’s worth a certain percentage. Kuiz gila babi banyak dan sering tak kena masa. Hei, takde life doh. They say, cara belajar kat MRSM macam belajar kat Universiti nanti. Tipu sungguh.
So yeah, bila kena bebel, now everyone is pulling their act together, insaf sikit, and start poring over books. Burning the midnight oil. Pay more attention to classes. Kurang tengok movie. Degree agak leceh, ye, rakan-rakan. Boleh buat kamu gila sebentar. Jadi, jangan main-main. Betul tak, Faiqah?
The thing is, I don’t own a single book relating to anything learnt here. Because they’re heavy and inconvenient. Then go borrow la, kan? Well I hate not being able to scribble in them books. So yeah, I’m lazy and don’t know much, and don’t have a clue about what I’m learning.
Plus, I’m kinda sick. Plus, I never wanted to pursue a higher education in the first place. Credentials, job stability my ass. Dostoevsky once said (wrote), that if he can to be anything he wanted to, he wanted to be a lazy man. Free, unattached. So yeah, I want to be lazy. Macam El duderino. I’d take comfort in that. So yeah, I’m compaining here, do ignore me.
Kerja buang masa.
title dari sini. red confetti and chasing. wooo.
perkaraperkara 
ouh I already am a lazy bum bum. haha. and I hate not being able to scribble in the book too!
