Done and Over With

Our school's first monthly test is finally over, and I can't express how glad I feel I don't think there's anything to celebrate or to be glad of. Its just another day, with different things. Instead of homework, which you do it yourself, you get pieces of papers, which you also do yourself. So there isn't much of a difference other than you're being judged, and that remark will be recorded.

Well, if I were to ask you why do you study, your answer would probably be because of exam. So where did the fun in learning go? What happened to the curiosity in man himself to know more? I guess generation has changed, the Physics reference book I got said that men are always curious and would really like to find out how things work, but I guess everything is so much diff
rent than before. I asked my dad this question, he said that, if there isn't any exam, you people wouldn't study. He got a point alright.

I got back my Biology paper today, and I was pleased with myself for scoring 86%. Would like to thank Go
d, because he gave me the wisdom to do it.

ahm...i think you think that (ppl study only for exams)mainly becuz of the exam-oriented education system. It's true, nowadays student's main goal is not to learn more, but to get more A+s (I am like that at times too). but i think you dun hv to be that way if you dun want to. You can study for the sake of learning, and work around the whole exam system. i know that what i've learnt, even the science stuff didn't go down the drain after the exams cuz i can now read food labels and know what those ingredients are...i can understand the motions of a car when i drive better, and i can appreciate song lyrics and newspaper articles more deeply as well. So all in all, though a lot that i've learnt would be forgotten, at least i've learnt something kan? haha...i think you can do it too. Congrats on yr bio! =)
