can't comprehend.
2 weeks went past. it's longer than it feels and shorter than the speed it went. you know it will get there but you can't give a good estimate of how long 2 weeks will take. i'm losing steam. no, there was not much in the first place. it feels alright that i don't know everything.
on the way to tuition today, i started wondering how come we have to learn 1 year worth of things within 3 months (or maybe, for some others who are alike, within 2 weeks). what exactly is university about? probably to prove to
someone that you could study?
going university taught me one thing. it taught me to question why i'm in it. honestly i've never given a thought of that before my 20th birthday. only through lectures, i realized that we are supposed to have weighed the losses and benefits and thereby came to a decision to be where we are now. that never happened. it wasn't a decision at all. it's SOP. is that lucky, ignorant, pitiful or all of it.
they said it's an economic decision. was it? no. i didn't make that decision. at least not explicitly. my parents did not explain to me. i didn't ask them. but my kids are asking why i'm still in school, and i find myself explaining that somebody else's economic decision.
and when i stopped to listen around. really. there are lots of people who fought to continue to study, have to worry and pay for their own fees because they think that the same education i'm going through is worth it. and those are the people who did not grow up with me. they are the people who took another path back then, people who have siblings to think about, people who lost their parents, people whose family depend on them...that actually makes me the minority. i'm left with mixed feelings. but i'm still ok with the fact that i don't know everything.
wake up and fight again tomorrow!
