Stress is the consequence of the failure to adapt to change
Although the Mids have just ended, the pressure's piling again.
With a new time-table that optimizes lesson time by decreasing the number of lectures, increasing number of tutorials and adding revision lessons/timetrials, it already shows that time is not on our side.
Getting myself to start a daily revision/practice routine is kinda hard, but is as necessary.
It's barely a few months left to the A's, and half the time to prelims.
It's mindless studying now and I do not really understand what all this is for.
Spending 1/4 (or even 1/3) of our lives studying ensuring a good 3/4 remainder,
seems rather logical.
But in this un-utopian world, it's rather unfair.
Studying and getting good grades do not assure you of a good place in the uni or a good job,
and I really find it's all up to luck.
I beg to differ with the line
'Doing well is by outdoing yourself'
I do not believe that performing well has anything to do with yourself, but others.
Outdoing others, to me is already a feat, and is considered as doing well.
Ensuring a place in the uni does not lie in how well you do, but how poorly others do.
Im the dependant factor now, not the independent.

On a lighter note,
had a BBQ for jxwee's birthday at the condo beside PP which I still do not know how to pronounce.
Cote da Zur .
Anyway lotsa food, talk, and talk.
And went LAN-ing with the guys till morning.
And slept all day yesterday.
