HAHA!

I Want the World to Know...


... that i have the most amazing parents in the world. I dont know what i did to deserve them.

Mysteries, mysteries.

I. Fricking. Hate. This.

Why wasn't i born an African tribeman's daughter? Or a rich man's daughter? Or an orang utan's daughter? None of these have to take university exams or make sure they squeeze a degree in Biology out of their souls so that their parent's money won't be a pointless, crippling sacrifice. Nor would they have as much capacity to be a dismal failure. I'm such a lousy academic / exam-taker and i don't deserve my parents' investments. I wish i knew what to do. Right now. Next term. Next year. With my time. With my life.

Time to grow up, you, and slap the complacency out of your head. Things don't come that easily even with all that brain. Why was i not informed that the choices i make should make me happy, not ones that pretend to but actually are shimmering bubbles that pop when the heat is on?

And who knew i'd be so disappointed with my life at 20?

This end of term sucks. It just keeps getting sadder and sadder everyday.

I hate it.

Tripping Out on Cough Syrup

Apparently cough syrup can be used to make meth. I did not know that. As such, i have been getting very high on decongestion every 6 hours. The world is spinning but not, and i have weird thoughts. Why do druggies do drugs? Not very fun what. Spin for a while, think some nonsense, stare at things, go to bed. Whatsofunaboutthat? Posers.

Phlegm, phlegm go away.

Blame the System!

School is lame, and of all 'schools' University is the lamest. The more i think about it, the more i've convinced myself that, unless you are Scienceboy with a superhuman thirst for knowledge (if you watch Friends you'll get this), or have a burning ambition to save the world using complex physics or genetic mutation, university is quite a waste of time. Honestly, if you live in a country where blue-collar workers could earn twice as much (or more)as educated people with white-collar jobs, spending 4 years++ on an education while you could be earning money/gaining work experience seems just a little bit stupid.

Four months a term is too short a time to properly learn, understand, master, be proficient in anything as intricate as animal physiology or ecology. Every term I feel like i'm scratching the surface of the ice, and by the time i manage to dig a bit deeper and think i'm starting to get a sense of the big picture, it's the end of the term and you have 3 days to cram, cram, cram before the exam comes and you're expected to do splendidly because 'Oh! You're smart enough to make it to university and you really want to learn about this stuff!' Universities are money sucking corporations that convince the world that you need a degree to survive. It's NOT true. I don't believe it!
