study week

It’s study week and I have not touched my books yet. Exams is exactly one week away with Semantics as the first paper. Maybe it’s due to the assignments we did for the lecturer that semantics sort of got stuck on my mind and that somehow put me a little at ease for I find there’s nothing much for me to read and that goes for most of the subjects except journalism and literature of course. I mean, critical reading and thinking is one subject that there’s nothing for you to read because after all, the questions that are coming out in the exam is for you to provoke your critical thinking and not your memorization which is what most if not all of us do when exams are coming.

How many papers or subjects do we have when the answers are not concrete? How many papers or subjects where the answers to the questions are subjective and differ from each person? How many? If my memory serves me right (which it usually doesn’t), I have not encountered such subjects. Heck, even literature also has a degree of flexibility to it because all the literary works are up to us to interpret although of course we cannot veer far away from the intended message of the author. All in all, semester two was a great semester with great lecturers and great subjects. Now I fear semester three when most subjects would be more theoretical than practical.

I have been working from last Saturday and will work up to this Saturday. That means eight days without an off day and what sucks is all my shifts are in the afternoon. The feeling of sitting for exams has yet to sink in and I do feel lethargic these days. Goong has been put on hold due to the subs being put on hold. Ichi Ritoru no Namida has been put on hold too due to the download not moving at all (curse clubbox when this happens!!). Anego has been put on hold due to the subs being put on hold. Bleach is ongoing and I’m just waiting for the next episodes to be out and currently I’m downloading the Jump Festa and the OVA so hopefully I’ll have something to watch. NANA (both the movie and the series) is nice. The anime is so much more funnier and cuter although I’m not too sure on Anna Tsuchiya’s voice for the singing voice of Nana Oosaki and her opening. Sounds weird and her Engrish is so “Oh-My-God”! of course, I don’t expect their pronunciation to be on top but OLIVIA who did the ending and also the singing voice for Seira seems to be doing a better job. Anyhow, I’m looking forward towards the anime. I’m listening to the Glamorous Sky single, the NANA movie with Mika Nakashima so obviously the singer is Mika Nakashima.

Motto of the day: Humans are always groping in the darkness from which they cannot escape.
