I know the title might seem weird, but I'm a Lit student, so the CTs ain't over for me yet(rox rite?).

For once, I actually thought of something to blog. I was thinking about biology stuffs, then I suddenly started thinking about the nodes of Ranvier for no reason. Soon after that, it occured to me in a flash of inspiration the answer to why our time seems to pass so quickly. Metaphorically speaking, our lives are just like impulses, and they are speeded up by the so called "Nodes of Ranvier". These nodes are in no uncertain terms the heaps of assignments that we get every few weeks or even more frequently. These assignments, ranging from chinese to english to maths, make our lives as students simply a jumble of deadlines. We are speeding up from assignment deadline to assignment deadline, every single second spent worrying whether we completed this particular assignment on time, that particular worsheet on time. By the time we think of actually enjoying ourselves, it has already come to the middle of the year, and come to think of it, doesn't it seem like just yesterday when we first entered RI?

This is ridiculous, as ridiculous as the exploding files/bags, of so many people, like wentao, chunkai, and kovan :S. And the sole reason for this IS the number of "projects", "assignments", we are getting. From my perspective, they are even worse than "homework" in the form of thousands of assessment books. These assignment books are now replaced by worksheets. Maths worksheets, chinese worksheets, chem worksheets, physics worksheets, and these are all part of our GPA. our GPA! The most bloody important bloody thing in our life right now, is our GPA!! So giving these assignments which make up a large percentage of our GPA, is forcing us to spent most of our energy doing, if not thinking about, these assignments! And that's all for now.
