I just feel like wasting time

posted on April 24th, 2009

This is torture. I'm really fed up of all these books and notes and examination timetables. I need some air. I'm finding it really depressing spending my time inside. It's just not healthy. I feel like a hermit.

What's even more depressing is that next Wednesday I have my Systems of Knowledge exam. What a piece of crap this subject is. I hate its guts. It's supposed to teach us a wide range of subjects such as democratic values and the environment and crap.

I hate the fact that it's imposed on us. I mean WTF? This subject was introduced for no other reason to keep out students from being able to go to university and don't give me that load of bullshit the book has printed on the preface;

"SOK was meant to be an attempt, however puny, to help students respond positively to electronic networking, i.e. hopefully without losing awareness that they were creatures of flesh-and-blood, bodily and solidly grounded in a sensorially-perceptible physical world."

Oh god, I feel like throwing up just writing that crap.

It's just a shame that there might be geniuses in mathematics, computing, chemistry and other subjects who are being held back from further developing their studies at the university because of failing this crappy subject.

Oh well. No more depressing talk.

I just bought a couple of prints from threadless.com. I always wanted to put up something on the walls of my room because it's as depressing as SOK is. Here's the prints if you want to take a look;

I think they're cool. What's your say?

I remember Impossible love... wasn't it a t-shirt? Anyways, love that one. :) And the spaceman one is kewl too! :)

I join you in the depressed talk. :( Get me outta here!
hehe yeah threadless runs a print for every t-shirt they got...

oh well, six weeks to go. just remember about summer and think how cool it's gonna be and you'll make it through ;)
I know the feeling: having to stay indoors studying when the day is so beautiful outside...The good thing is that this too shall pass :)
hi wen! :)

hehe yeah it kinds sucks when you can't go out and enjoy the sun.. oh well, I'll have 4 months to do just that! :)
BTW, the comment above was mine (wen)
I don't really like SOK either. It's funny because I'm usually interested in art and the environment but since the subject is compulsory it puts me off and I really don't feel like studying it at all!
It would have been better if (if they really have to give us a compulsory subject) we could choose between one of the four modules or two of them or whatever...
Anyway, good luck with SOK (:
hmm, they wouldn't do that, otherwise everyone will choose the 'easy' subjects like science (because mostly everyone knows a thing or two about that).

I hate it not just because it's imposed, but also it's full of shit in my opinion. I mean take a look at the environment module.. like we should be responsible so that the generations to come can enjoy it too.. I think that's full of shit, take a trip to Msida and tell me who cares about the environment with all the fumes. And don't get me started on democracy.

oh well, hope you do well too ;)
