One week to D-day

The past week has been very sedate. spending almost every day couped up in the library, trying to study. Instead i find myself thinking of loads of nonsensical things. I always sit facing the library entrance at one of those computer terminals and i noticed there's a new librarian(i think). She's kinda cute, so i find myself looking at her every once in a while. and that sort of got me thinking. what does a librarian do, actually? i mean, she just sits there, looking at the computer screen, sometimes she giggles to herself, and thats pretty much it. the only time i see her getting up is when she's going for lunch/dinner, going to the bathroom(i think) or when she's going home(i think). else she just stays glued to the lcd screen.

sounds like a really laidback job. i think the pay must really suck.lol.
I've got a neighbour who used to be a librarian. Maybe i should ask him what exactly did he do at his previous job. arrange books all day? hit on all the female students?

now, its time for a rant.

i'm sick of people misinterpreting someone else's comments. its mind-boggling how paranoid people can get when one innocuous comment can serve to stir up a hornet's nest. its strange why people would rather harp on the negative aspect of something instead of thinking of the good part. i mean, its always a good thing to be positive right? if there's nothing you can do about it, being negative doesnt help much does it? going all out to voice your dissent aint helping matters too, isnt it? especially when the remarks in question are bitter in nature. i especially hate it when people make their opinions known in such a way that it looks like they're spoiling for a fight, knowing full well the other party is not the sort to back down in such a situation.

its amazing how insipid and ridiculous people can become when they're not thinking rationally.

Ok, now i feel a little bit better letting that out. i hope someone out there feels the same way i do.

Anyway, its about slightly more than a week left to my first paper, and judging from the responses i have garnered from a few people who had some papers already, it seems that some of the examiners are getting experimental with their papers. this is not a good thing. Some understanding of the student's psyche is necessary here. don't innovate. don't try something new. We do not like that. We prefer to expect exactly what we expect. better yet, we prefer to know what to expect. Don't lead us up one end only to pop up from another. At this point in time we need all the help we can get. A surprise is when u come home to a birthday party. it makes you happy. Exams do not make us happy, therefore it should not be surprising. We do not appreciate that. Thank you.

Quote of the day: Why can't we work out our differences? Why can't we work things out? Why can't we just get along?
