Last paper, last chapter of my student life.

Post to be read while listening to this song

I am really glad I didn't put in a lot of effort for this paper, because I have given up all hope for this module.

Not because I know I am not going to do well, and not because I am not interested in this module (it's a music module, which makes no sense for me to not like it). But because of how unprofessional things are handled.

For example, me getting a lower grade for an assignment than another student who didn't even fulfill the requirements of the assignment. Like, what are trying to say? That me giving in my 100% and fulfilling all the requirements is not even worth another student's half-bucket effort?

I understand that effort is subjective. Some people can put in their 100% but still give shit work. And okay, I will just assume that I am such a person in my lecturer's eyes. But for another student to not fulfill the requirements and end up doing better than me? That's just plain unfair.

Read this somewhere: "My children, have you not observed that faith began to extinguish itself?" Makes so much sense. Perhaps I am just blaming my lecturer conveniently for extinguishing the said faith. Maybe the real story is that my faith simply extinguished by itself over time. But anyway, I am not very upset over it, and I am very excited about starting work on Monday!

Just a temp job, but I also see it as my last shot at "happiness" (of doing something I am very passionate about). And I am also very thankful that everyone there seems to understand that I will be joining them to learn! I guess this is sort of my " post-grad trip". It'll be fun.

Food and retail therapy after the paper earlier!

Mad sales going on in town! A dress from H&M for $15? Topshop sweatshirt for $16? Zara striped tees for $16? Just what I need after a bad day in school!
