I got my mid year exam results today. I was stoked with what I got. I mean, it was much more than what I was expecting to get. My accounting teacher was [quote] 'pleasantly surprised'[unquote] with what I got. But of course, my parents wanted me to get higher. No surprises there. I don't care. I'm not gonna allow them to ruin my happiness:)
Though, getting my exam results today made me realise how close the end year exams are. In a couple of months, I would be getting a certificate saying I've finished year 12 and will be given a number which could determine the rest of my life. Sounds so scary when I think of it that way. But then again, it's a bit stupid as well. How could our lives be determined by one score that we achieve through exams that run through a short period of time?? What if someone was sick during that period of time and was not able to perform to their best ability?
I know this guy from my school. He's in hospital right now because he had a stroke. Before that, he had tuberculosis. It would be a shame for him to have to repeat VCE again just because of something that wasn't in his control. But then again, what if it was something else? What if there were family issues, or friend issues, or any relationship issues that would affect your mental thinking ability. You'd be too mindfucked for exams.
Well, regardless of what I say, I guess it's just how we control our emotions; how we control our reactions to different problems. We could keep it to ourselves or just rage to our hearts content. Whichever suites best, I presume. Exams are still far in a way and I do have time to improve. So that's what I'll try to do. But I hope I hope I hope that some people will just lay off and leave me be sometimes.
Until then.

Stuff them and stuff the number, don't worry too much about scores, it's not the be all and end all that most people make it out to be. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteOh, me too. But to have "Uprising" in the top ten, and then "Plug In Baby" (probably one of my favourites. The whining riff at the beginning ... goosebumps ) at a measly number 73, and "Bliss" at 79 in 2001 is a bit rich for my pudding. But I guess they weren't that popular back then as they are now.
ReplyDeleteOh Christ yes! The sheep mentality is incredible among the people of the world today. And those like us, indeed, have no part of that ... you're too true. As I see it, the reason so much of that shit is popular with so many is that the majority of the population are tone deaf too, and have no idea what good music is anyway, so they just follow the everyone else, like you say.
ReplyDeleteThats so cool about your ring tone too, freaky. I usually have a System track as mine, scares the shit out of people when the start of Cigaro or something starts playing:)
