You don’t
reason with intellectual. You shoot them. -------- Napoleon Bonaparte
Intellectuals
are people who are well educated and enjoy thinking hard. We can say that
intellectuals are intelligent beings. Majority of the population in the world
are able to be classified as intellectuals compared to population long time
ago. The gap between intellectuals and non-intellectuals has decreased from
year to year.
Enough with
the intellectuals, let’s talk about my current academic life. I have entered
Ausmat again for Ausmat January 2012 Intake. The works are terribly a lot. I
dislike Ausmat style the most because I am really not the kind of person who
enjoys doing consistent works. I like SPM and A-levels ‘ styles in which we are
only evaluated in final exams. With that, I can do leisure activities while
people are studying hard and study hard when people have grabbed their
confidence to score well in exams. Despite this, I never worried not having enough
preparation time or what. I would only require myself to study smart and throw
whatever I know in exams. Always, I score well than any other people.
However,
back to 2012 reality, I am doing something which opposed my usual attachment
styles. I am forced to enter this course and JPA demands us to score the highest.
So, the cruel thing is the marks allocation is 50% internal and 50% external.
For now, everyone is working on the significant 50% internal. My recent life is
filled with quizzes, tests and exams. I would be lying if I say I am not
stressed out. I totally stressed out. I never feel comfortable with too many
tests and quizzes although I love exams. The introduction of pop quizzes really
scares the shit out of me. Endless 1% 5%, 10%, 15% are frightening!
Besides, I
am also facing some problems or maybe lack of confidence in language empowerment.
I do not sure about my own ability to speak and use English in daily life.
Although I have exposed myself a lot in English things, started to develop
great interest towards English, I feel everything that I have done is still not
sufficient. I do not read a lot! I dislike reading, especially long passage.
Most often, I would choose to close a book when I see lots and lots of words in
it. But, how am I going to do improve without reading? Still, I need to start
to enhance my knowledge by reading more. I need hardly tell myself that reading
is beneficial.
