musings
NINETY FIRST POST! NOT BAD HUH. i suddenly have this ferocious urge to blog. maybe it's because i'll be locking my laptop (and getting my mum to hide it somewhere, lock it again with a REAL KEY and hide the key) this week starting tomorrow. i need to start mugging for SATs and NO I WILL NOT GET LOWER THAN 2200 THIS TIME! i will PRESS ON!anyway. i realised that it's quite interesting what B said (not what he repeated like 10^infinity times about him predicting the financial crisis) but about whether the education system is reaping returns. i dont' think it is. and i'm a student. it's no use embarking on a fiscal expansionary policy by pumping money into education seriously. i find it stupid.
1. most of the poorer 'lower income group' don't usually make it to a good secondary school so what you have like $990 lying around in your edusave account because you don't go for enrichment or stuff and you can't touch the money until you're 55.
2. if you haven't noticed the students aren't getting smarter? take me for instance. i feel that i'm just a sponge - i absorb and i'll vomit everything out again when i need to. if you ask me to memorise the entire lit text i'll do so for you. i can memorise poems, plays, anything. but ask me to analyse and i'm at a loss for words.
3. people don't exactly need the information? like if i want to go into business i don't exactly need to know how DNA is formed? and how genetic engineering is carried out? yet in order to look PRESTIGIOUS people go for the triple science stream ANYWAY.
oh well, enough musings on unhappy things. on to HAPPY things :) i had AZABU SABO HOKKAIDO ICE CREAM TODAY!! it is fantastic! i had green tea BUT i'm pissed. the machine was out of order so there wasn't soft serve available and so she charged us like more for less. BUT i had ice cream so i was happy :)
