i am sick

i am sick, caught a flu... feel like sleeping, but i have to revise for my exams... haiz, life is definitely tough in uni... definitely tougher than it was for me. competition is tight, super tight, with all the foreign scholars fighting for the top 10% which equates to an A grade.

to be in the top 10% you basically have to aim full marks for everything, so that u can safelly in the top 10%. well, this is what i do... though i don't get full marks for everything. this sem, i didn't have a single full marks. one 90%, one still dunno, one 80 percent... sounds good, but i think it may not be good when compared to others, and when i say "others" i mean the scholars...

haiz, i seriously dun understand the rationale behind the bell curve thingy. it just doesn't make sense to me. a student should be judged by how well he understands the content, not judged by his standing among his peers... though that's the way outside world works, but it does not make sense to apply in school, where we are supposed to learn knowledge, not compete with each other to see who is better...

ok, enough of rambling... really some serious thoughts should be given... but then i alone can't change anything, i just have to treat it as a 磨练 process. ok, back to studies...
