Magical TurnAbout-- Let Me Spin A Tale, A ThouSaNd LighTs, A StaGe as Grande

I am such a procrastinator when it comes to blogging and writing everything down. I don't really think of myself as one before this because I am never one for being late. Ask any of my fellow classmates or friends.. I am quite punctual, though not really say on-the-dot punctuaity but not exactly those that warrants for one to keep calling and being diverted to the voicemail sort. Well, but i guess this just applies to anything school-related or work-related. I am quite a lapper for authority. Call me timid or whatever other unkind names you can think of because it doesn't even bother me. As long as i think what I do is right, so be it. The rubbish chute is where all those unkindly remarks shall go.

And, now while we are at the topic of nasty comments and unkindly remarks, let's delve in further about more 'serious' topics. But, note that it's not exactly on the path of nasty comments now. Ok, i must admit i do veer off-track once in a while, as do all my writing when it goes unplanned. I just pen down anything i can think of at 'press-time'! haas. Stuff it!

The 'R' word is the one students are feverish with excitement, knee-deep in worries and sleepless with anxiety with. When the semester comes to a closure and all the exams and final projects are done with, the same scenario that will always be recurring over the years will be the "yeas!" , " Phews!" and " Come on let's go hit the malls/ clubs!" AND not to forget the more negative " Oh my, I am so going to have 10 or 20 marks off..." , " Argh, I did not get the correct answer... " and so on and so forth. If there's anything students fear as much as getting the rod, I would say it's this 'R' word.

This sem's results. Some will be jumping with joy while others will be sobbing with misery. Some will exclaim at the ridiculity of their good grades while others might be dumbfounded by the bad grades they get despite the amount of effort put it. I am kind of seating on the fence this time round; definitely not good grades but yet within my expectation. That instant before the results were sent to us, I prayed for the miracle, which never arrived. I am not downright sad and all but well, I accept it and just learnt to live with it. Disappointment is inevitable but if i recognised that I have really worked my butt off for these grades, I guess that's enough.

No doubt, it changed my dreams just that much because of the unattainable goal i set for myself. But, nevertheless i won't give up. Because, a wise woman once said: "Perservearance is the key to success."

Who's the wise one?

You are speaking to yours truly.

Hold your pukes first because I still have a sequel entry to this post as i don;t want it to be a long and wordy one.
Though it is already.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder;
