school
so I'm into day 2 of officially starting lessons and the pressure is there, silently haunting you and reminding you of GPA GPA GPA. the pressure of exams is bone-chilling, and it's so sad that people do things for the sake of their grades. like the CSP project i was helping out with last semester. it' a very touch and go thing. like they're obviously doing it for the grades so i have no idea where the sustainability comes in. all bull.
day 2 provided an epiphany of sorts, like my prof was going through corporate reporting and the different FRS and accounting standards and then what he said struck me. it's like you can choose whether or not to make the course fun or not. (it's definitely not fun, trust me. the seniors call it corpse reporting) but after all you have to do it anyway and why not treat it as extra information that would come in handy? like the thing is after this course i'll probably know why the notes to financial statements are written that way and it's something different i guess. accounting is boring but maybe it's because i've always been standing from that viewpoint and looking at it as a boring subject. (doesn't change the fact that it's boring) but still i don't think i've tried to at least TRY liking it. it's always at the tip of my tongue oh accounting is boring. but to delve deeper i guess it's quite smart. whoever came up with all these accounting principles and how they thought of them (although at this point in time it's still alien speak to me). i'm trying. this sem i'll try my best, so that even if i fail i'll know that at least i've tried. rather than fail and say 'oh i wasn't even trying'. that's no concession.
nonetheless, i salute all those who pick up a financial report and start drooling. hats off to you guys.
