Getting back term papers and projects and mid term test results lately. I did not get too bad, but neither did I get very great results. I am an average student. I realise that many people are very stressed about their grades, including me, but what are grades really about? They lead to my final degree, whether I get 1st, 2nd upper, 2nd lower, or 3 class degree? And what about honours? Are they really that important?
Paper chase, I realised that suddenly, despite my disbelief in it, I am actively involved in it. My country is a country where the degree counts. Anyway, my degree is not that grand either, so 1st class honours might not really make much of a difference. To top that, I most likely would not even be trying to work for anyone. I want to start my own ventures. So people, do not get too stressed ok?
Realised that I am really involved in the paper chase that I have not been really doing what I have set to do. Slipping from my original plan, but the paper chase is just so tempting. On one hand, I think that people are actually seraching for the easier way out. Anyone that disagrees with me do hit back, but this is what I feel - The paper chase has a per semster gratification system. Everyone semster, you will be able to know how good or bad you fare. This, I feel is a form of denial that one day, we actually have t go out and face the world. We are just stuck in our own world thinking about what we can do, not willing to get out of the comfort zone. So simple, study, and get good grades. It is much harder to go out and really do something, and be completely unsure whether you will succeed or fail. At least I know my lecturers would not be so bad to give me an F in my 1st semster, unless I plagiarise...
