Night Is Young..

the above picture was taken from flickr, and edited to black&white by me. yes. its a picture of a classroom. yeah. i'm gonna talk about something related to school. something that i shouldnt even be ranting based on the picture above. but still. what must be done, has to be done. so, let me start.


"...
There has always been talk about Junior Colleges and Polytechnics (hereby known as poly and JC). there has always been people in both higher institutions ruling that theirs is better and more superior over the other. but let us take it slow for a second and see what are the problems coming from a polytechnic student, me.

i have always inclined to think that polytechnics are a lot more relaxed than JC's. i have always thought that it was less demanding. the only difference was that in poly's, you're more hands on with learning. but clearly, it is VERY hands on with the countless demanding projects that keep you occupied and sucks the blood and life out of you over 3 years. whats wrong with the lecturers nowadays? knowing that its so tough to even do, yet they still give it to you. as if they stage an obstacle on purpose to make you stumble and do badly.

i was talking to a friend the other day. Poly's are tertiary educations. they are under the same category as universities. but the way its run isnt the same. besides, the functional attitude of the institutes are vastly different. how can we be treated the same? one is for people with age groups of 17-20 thereabout. the other is for those 21 and above. the age groups constitute a lot, even just 2 years. everyone kinda knows that, right? and besides, the poly's have project groups, but not universities. sometimes, doing things yourself happens to be more efficient. well thats how i feel, and clearly its not gonna work out. i'm a perfectionist, and i cant work with the situation like THIS.

oh well. the talk will keep going on. but my point is in the middle of the long essay of words. i didnt make an effort to compact and make it short and sweet. i havent blogged like i used to - long winded.

i listened to some old songs and decided to put this one up. Michelle Branch. here's "Everywhere", a song i used to jive to in sec1. i even remember talking to sylvia and syahidah on the phone while the song kept playing in my room. i guess this is what nostalgia is. (:



projects due end of this week and next. i totally screwed up my business communication test of 30% today. exactly what i talked about. about how the continuous thinking makes you make the wrong decision in the end? yes. thats what happened. wrong format. sigh.

thats all!
long naggy rant-y post today.
lotsa love!

Hey there. I know what you mean with all that comparison between a Poly and JC. I guess every one of us goes through it. And we ALL know that the myth that Poly is more slack is sadly, false. Haha. Not only is it not slack, I'd dare say that it is definitely more demanding than that of a JC. But well, moving away from more comparisons... =)

School is tough no matter where we go - JC, Poly, Uni. Remember your primary school days, where we were complaining that it's so tough? Now if we look back at it, it's like easy peezy lemon squeezy! Haha. I guess what I'm trying to say is.. Hang in there. =) You're definitely not alone in this. Being in my final year this year, I would say that I've got my fair share of well, crap, in school when it comes to project work as well. But don't worry Marcus. I have faith that you'll pull through. For sure :)

Take care alright, and remember, have faith in yourself, you can do it! :)

Cheerios,
