So, this is where I'll be writing random stuff about my life, opinions, and so on. I've actually tried using a blog for that in the past, but I always keep forgetting to update it. Hopefully I won't forget this one, since I come on here pretty often. The name of the blog is a play on my username - a very obvious play, haha.
A bit about me
#1: My end-of-year exams are coming up...
So, in the school system where I live, we apply to universities using our predicted grades. The grades are predicted by our teachers based of our end of year exams. We study these courses for two years, and I'm in the first year, so these exams are the first of a set of two that will determine my forsaken fate. :0
The exams begin the moment we return from the Easter holidays, which I'm currently on. I've got one week left. And I haven't done a lot of studying, despite averaging around a B and wanting to get As. So I'm essentially dooming myself to fail these exams - fail, as in not get an A, instead of a real fail. The school I'm in is so competitive, and it makes me feel stupid sometimes, despite everyone going out of their way to tell me that a B or C is good, too. The truth is, at this school, it's not.
I also really dislike going to school in general. For some reason the head of my year is always chasing me down about the most inconsequential of things(You forgot your badge today! Better tell the head of your year about it, even though it's not going to kill anybody!) and continuously telling me to "play by the rules." I just nod my head and smile. I don't have the courage to tell them that I just don't see the rules as a high priority, and the ones I do break don't carry large consequences - according to me anyway. You can already tell they love me.
There are people who are much, much worse than me at following rules - why pick on me, then? Is it just because I lie through my teeth to them, say what they want to hear, and look meek and gentle? I feel like just dropping the whole thing and leaving sometimes - not that my parents would let me, and there are benefits to staying in school which I don't want to miss out on.Also, I just remembered I didn't go to some dumb event they set up in the holidays. I genuinely forgot about it. They're going to kill me for that.
I've seen advice on the internet which tells me that those who don't play by the rules are lazy, or stupid, that if I can't handle school rules, how am I going to get a job? That's why I'm going to make an effort to become a freelancer, and work on my own terms. I don't think I can spend the rest of my life juggling constraints that I feel are pointless. I have up until the end of my university bachelor's degree to get myself off the ground in that regard, and I think that with that goal, it's completely achievable.
Woah... I just split out a whole load of my life there, despite telling myself that I would keep this blog as little-detailed as possible. Oh well. ^^
A bit about me
- I'd like to become a translator one day. I'm bilingual, and also learning Japanese in my spare time.
- I like anime, but I haven't watched any for quite a while. Incidentally, I overall dislike the anime community. I might write about that.
- I used to be pretty good at writing, but since I stopped many years ago, I've lost that ability. I'd like to regain it some day.
