Tuesday, September 13, 2005 i am writing here at this funny time simply because its been long since i wrote anything, and since then i have been thinking. about not-studying. cos so many people have been asking me about where i am going to study next year (i am studying next year, for the unacquainted). slightly more than a year ago, i would have given an arm and a leg to go to warwick or LSE to study economics. then as things progressed, my stance on studying overseas became: yea, if i get the chance, good, if not then heck it. and now, my recent experience of life has taught me that perhaps studying overseas is not such a good idea. ok, i will do it if u give me an SMS and stuff, but well, if not NUS FASS will do fine. and yes, it will be FASS not law or BM or something because, well, throughout my life you (not you, per se, but you in general) have always taught me to study what i like and not what others want of me. yes, you (again not you, per se) tell me that FASS is for people who cannot get anywhere else, but so what? 10 years (including this) of studying in premier institutions has taught me that perhaps the best knowledge comes not from textbooks. and so what if one aces every test and examination? does that make one in any way a better person than another who barely scrapes through them? yup, there is a likelihood of me not-studying. not not-studying in the absolute, but not-studying to my potential, perhaps. what is this funny word potential anyway? damn, darwin has beautiful sunsets. |
