Mistakes and Bad Days
Now that school is nearly over and the iap placement has been secured..I should be getting a bit of a breather...but I find that its quite impossible...considering the first impending 'F' of my academic life - the NAPFA - and ofcourse the still-remaining IMC presentation and 2 exams...school doesn't quite let us off easily. More like going over the final task of the Triwizard tournament!
But well...just to get in a Potter moment...Harry survived...and so will we....hahaha...(on a side note - I thoroughly enjoyed Potter's last outing).
I think, I learnt a vital lesson from my last few submissions - never think too much about an assignment after it's handed up...even if you screwed up and made avoidable mistakes. As a student I'm still learning and mistakes are inevitable..learn from the bigger ones and forget about the tiny ones...period. At the end of the day...the learning you carry forward is as important, perhaps even more so, than the grade.
Thats for all the education I've had and that which I shall have...for now..adios.

Mass comm desensitisation
During MASSINA (one of my..... modules this semester) we keep talking about media desensitisation as a problem...I would take that one step further...by saying that being exposed to the media may be a problem...but doing it together with media studies is where the problem aggravates....
The Media...may desensitise your mind...but studying mass comm desensitises your being...after 3 years I can safely bet my money on the fact...after a while..all you can think of is finishing off the work..period..no more handling people and their attitudes..who bitches about you and who doesn't care a damn about you and what gossip is doing the rounds etc etc...oh and I'll add that I'm also not bothered about what I'm wearing and how presentable I'm looking...for all I care...as long as I'm there and the work is getting done..its all fine..you dun care a damn about looking good...atleast I've never really had that on my mind...(Jess adds that it may be a possible reason for the fact that I've been single for LONG time now..but heya Jess...ol' buddy..I dun care...and I've my reasons..matter over =)
So yes...maybe its made me a tougher person than I was 3 years back...the one pro I can see...but seriously...I've made up my mind to do LONG term volunteering after school ends and make up for the all the emo-ness and heart-to-heart I may've been missing...I've been missing my kids at the home....for too long already I feel...

Being Tensile...
Sometimes when you can't tell who is your friend and who is the enemy, when you can't bring yourself to trust and your emotional quotient is dipping to an all time low..reeking of depression and stretched thin with a truckload of work...realise that everything is in transition and shall soon come to pass....
After all it's YOU who move in life...not the baggage...
Be Tensile....
