almost, but no cigar

it's 1:30 AM. and because this is when downloads tend to progress faster, i dare not shut the PC down.

11 hours and 30 minutes from now, i have class. I thoroughly detest class. And the fact that it's a three hour class on a SUNDAY makes me detest it even more.

i've never been the "schoolboy" most people make me out to be. People (or at least a vast majority of people these days) think that I'm the type who wakes up early every day eagerly anticipating another schoolday and goes home to read his textbooks for the next day.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I've always known that if there's one thing i hate, it's sitting in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring. It's always struck me as a complete waste of a perfectly good day. this feeling has been compounded by my entire ordeal in college and my having had experience with a job. Another thing i hate is reading anything i'm required to.

the entire exercise of schools today seems to be rather outdated. the trend is you HAVE to get a diploma BEFORE you actually amount to anything. I think it's wrong. It might've worked in the old days because information was scarce and school was the proper medium to channel it, but you certainly can't think that's true now, can you? I mean, everything's in the internet these days (take it however you want it), who's to say you can't learn in 5 minutes what it would take
5 months to learn in school.

okay, okay, this is starting to sound stupid to you, and i know that you can't phase the entire concept of schooling out. that's asinine. what blasphemy! what heresy! okay. i get it. i'm just hapless and bitter. whatever.

all i'm saying is maybe people should be more open-minded, a degree of education doesn't always assure knowledge, it just implies a sort of halcyon blind allegiance to a system that probably doesn't work that well in the first place. when it comes to education and learning, there are no universal solutions (actually there are no universal solutions, period). is it so hard to understand that some people just aren't made for school?

but to turn nietzschean: this is probably just because i really hate having to go to school for three hours on a sunday.
