motivation, no?

what's so special about this term? it seems like everyone insaf already. it's just the second week of the semester and there's so many people in the library. i wonder if they were doing last minute work or were they actually studying? how come everyone around me seemed to be so hardworking all of a sudden? imagine, i was in the library answering questions for my tute and the library tables were basically occupied. then i met a friend, she wanted to use a pharmacology book, which i was sure not many would borrow it because it's only a one day loan. to my surprise, i couldn't even find any of it on the shelves! another possibility could be that everyone was also doing last minute work answering the worksheet for today's tute but then again, can answer without the book also. another funny thing was that this friend of mine, she seems to be going for a lot of additional lectures for subjects that she's not enrolled in. so is she hardworking or too-free-nothing-to-do? then another friend, who's taking architecture, he was like reading materials way early of the sem, like the second day itself? well well, i've learn not to compare with people too much because there's so many people smarter than me in uni so as long as i do what i need to do to score within my standard, i'm happy. don't you know that too much competition among peers can be unhealthy? perhaps to the extend of boycotting that person because he/she claims to not study yet score well? anyways, some people are just born smarter than you so why don't you just accept the fact! and doesn't mean that if you are hardworking, you will score well either! as for my cousin, she's taking her spm this year i think, and she can study like the whole day, lock herself in the room, don't watch tv or anything but thankfully her effort is rewarded by good results. i seriously think that if she were to do badly in any of her papers, she could be mentally and physically depressed to the extent of i-do-not-dare-think-what-will-happen. conclusion? study yes, but have fun too! as for me, relax first, study or die later.
