I can't focus right now, as I write my discussion questions for this book. I'm writing shit, because I keep losing my train of thought.. I need to get this done, but given the book is about how students are always more concerned about getting things done versus actually learning, I genuinely feel I have to write something with more thought.
I related so well to the first few chapters. I'm the guy who is always doing the bare minimum; I will never do more than required and am considered a "good" student because of my grades. However, it is only because on just has to learn what a teacher wants: and after that it's only conforming your work to fit what they want. It has never been about what I've wanted to learn about, it's been me concerned about my future. I'm scared, there are so many factors, variables, things I want to do and it seems all come back to what are my grades? It seems that grades are the number one concern in school, they've taught us that. They have not taught us to pursue passion; they've taught us to gauge our stress and push it even more. The education system resembles "survival of the fittest," if you can't handle the work you are bound to fail, you're out. Only the top survive, and the rest are weeded out.
School is a jungle, and I'll enter my junior year hesitantly.. in 12 days.
I really did slow down on my blogs, didn't I? There is still little to talk about, recycling the days with worn-out routine until school arrives again. I've been taking the summer slow, I enjoy the mellow take I've made it. However, with the malfunction of my xbox as of last night, I'm very vulnerable and felt the need to write something (HAHA). I recently moved to TUMBLR, the interface is just so much simpler while maintaining the blogging aspect that TWITTER lacks. My work is piling up, but I haven't brought myself to start any of it.
I really can't think of anything anymore, I thought I'd have more to say. http://jrdnhgbn.tumblr.com go there!
