Second Life

Isn't it just frightening how events begin to break loose at an alarming rate as we move forward in time; perhaps due to the coming semester exams. Very Frightening. Here I was, minding my own business, a middle aged man ( I am 22, that makes me middle aged, right? ), engaging myself with my own obsession ( watching anime cartoons, not very adult like, I am sure ) and Oh my gosh!

... Which notes to read ... which teacher taught what subject ... er? when is the exam?...

Yes, funnily, it came to my attention only a few hours ago that tomorrow is the day the big exam starts. Surprisingly so, I am so calm. But then when have I ever got excited about anything?

On further contemplation, how am I going to study for tomorrow's exam when my other life ( virtual, on an RPG site ) has lots of business transaction to attend to, Christmas shopping to be done, relationships to manage, and pets to feed?

Fortunately, I am not one of the A plus guys so, I will sit down, attend all the needs of the second life, catch some more episodes of the Anime, and finally, I shall relax and chill with the books.


Well, it is time to cook the books, what else one can do with so little time for preparation. And I was under the impression that we had it bad during our school days.

Surprisingly enough, it is funny how people manage to pass exams by studying just the day before the exam. But then, on deeper thought, exams are not to test our knowledge, but our cleverness. I wish I were still at school where all these things are straightforward: they ask questions and we answer. Now a days it is not so simple, they ask questions and we rant. lol

Well, that is what we usually write on our answer papers... rants... I wonder if any of our answer paper gets checked; to get through all the 'diatribes on paper' of each and every student would be excruciatingly painful, even for the most patient of professor; maybe they just look on the name, and by some whim or caprice, they put an A or B or C on our grade sheets. Would not that be extremely convenient. Who in their rightful mind would want to read through boring tirades of shares and bonds from 50 different viewpoints? lol. I would not. But oh, look at the time...

-looks around-

Ahem, where was that book ....
