Welcome 2013
This comes in very late but HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
So basically every year the whole world makes resolutions to do something, and it usually ends up in utter failure because I can't even remember if I resolved to do anything last year. Which is primarily disappointing. But this year I think I'm pretty determined to keep with this one:
Make the most out of every situation, no matter for good or for evil.
And obviously being the way I am, Evil is more likely but well we'll see about that, shall we? 2013 hails a lot of new things for me, simply because it's another transition stage that could be (possibly) disastrous. I find myself very funny, because as a child I was determined- Go to the Broccoli School, and then Ship myself off (as if it were so easy) to VJC like it was a walk in the park. So bleep to the younger self for being very unproductive. But I made it to the broccoli swarm (and left, thank god. I see what my Juniors have in store for them and my heart pangs in intense feels).
I can't say I'm confident about the result release. As In, I'm pretty sure I'm within 20 Points, given the 24 for Prelims (yes I'm not very good with Math so PSH to that). So I know there will be somewhere to go. I'm most worried about not finding a 'thing to do' in the future. Whichever the case may be, I've also given up on the idea the JC is the best (or the most preferred, or whatnot) route to success, as popularized as the concept is.
I've seen with my own eyes, people who have suffered the consequences of that Mundane form (I'm calling it Mundane because it.. well it is, isn't it?) of education and suffered in the future, losing out to peers because they think in a box. A little cube that a huge majority of the population thinks in, perhaps preventing a greater part of the Working Class from being creative. For those in the working class who want to challenge this well I don't know till I try like all forms of education so see you in 3 lives from now or something. Imagine- your idea is the same as like a hundred other people within a half kilometer radius.
That, frankly, sucks.
That thought alone put me off from JC a while back, though I'm still considering my options. I know some people will say "But JC is FUN and AMAZING and NO we still get the EXERCISE our CREATIVITY" but isn't creativity limited there? There are things you can't write a paper about, things you can't present about because to others it's so silly, because it's this and not that and because the GSCE's want it this way and not that and because your mother says it's this and not that then what from there? All those limitations! Furthermore, I hate studying at high intensities because my mind is a weakling who wants to eat jello and cry over Cinderella. (Heck I'm Biased too.)
Pushing the thoughts about JC Aside, my first Choice is the IB programme, though I seriously doubt I'm smart enough to make the 5 point aggregate to get in ANYWAY (sigh I'm still crossing my fingers here) because my tutor, my parents, and like the whole world has told me that "Sigh. You should go to IB. It suits you better. Take Econs, by the way." and I agree with them. I went for an IB briefing. I like the fact that I don't take GP and I take Theory of Knowledge. And I do an extended essay on anything that I want as long as it's not HUGELY controversial.
I like how I choose from six subjects still and can choose higher/ lower subjects, and I like how I'm required (if I remember) to take Music / Visual Arts as one of the core 6. My Points are counted Up and not Down, and I'm given access to a majority of universities across the globe presuming I get good results (and as G often tells me, a lack of sleep and high stress levels) past the great evils of the common student. But it's a hope of mine, a major hope of mine, that I can go into this programme.
Of course, my second choice is DUH Poly. I've found a course I'm seriously seriously seriously interested in, and I think I'll do good in it. It allows me to exercise my brain and flex some idea muscles. I don't really know. But for now, I just want to know the result release date.
