Writing

Nowadays, with the technology of computers all over, there has been less need to write. Nevertheless, it is still an essential skill in life.

….

& you have just seen an intro paragraph of what I would’ve written for an essay on “Writing” lol ;-P of course, it would be much longer, but I felt that I was wasting my time, so I stopped.

Of course, since I’m still in college, I still have a fair bit of writing to do, & all my exams are paper-based, not computer-based. But I think (or hope) that working life will be different *__* not that I mind writing, I don’t mind it at all, just that I’d think it’d be perfectly natural to live & work in a computer environment XD

There was something I used to do in primary & secondary, which I couldn’t help doing today. You see, the lecture I was going through today consisted of a lot of dictation, so I’d be either trying to follow her words & understanding it at the same time as writing it, or I’d be daydreaming. So, I couldn’t help feeling a bit bored today, because I felt bad for daydreaming, so I kinda went back to my old habit, which was what I did last time while writing instead of learning what I’m writing.

I’d compare my speed of writing to other people’s. ^_^

It’s not a big deal, actually, but I can’t help wondering how many ppl actually do that. It’s been such a long time since I last did it, so I forgot all about it. I think it also motivated me to write faster hahaha. But like today, when I looked around at other ppl while writing, most ppl were either engrossed, tired out, or bored to death too.

Anyway, I feel quite happy & proud to say this, but maybe it’s just that everyone was tired out at that time, but when I looked around at other people, I was faster than them MUAHAHAHAHA XP cos I’m normally slow, so it’s rare that I’m faster than other ppl ^^

But actually, I was faster generally, but I realised last time & now, that whenever the dictation is longer, I end up being slower (or they end up being faster). So, the conclusion is, the longer of dictation in words (for eg. reading out “long-term investment is better” rather than “is better”), the slower I’ll write compared to other people.

Another thing I realised was that every time (seriously, every time) the words are shorter, like “many reasons”, I’d definitely be faster! & I couldn’t help wondering, “Why?” But I figured out the reason last time already. It was because other people were slow to responding LOL

I hope no one is being offended by this, especially if we have sat together before, but it’s true hehe XP

To make it sound better, it’s not that other people are slow, no, it’s just that I’m faster in responding ;-P cos I realised that when the dictator says the 1^st word, I’d start writing already, but most people usually write after the 2^nd word, or even after more than the 2^nd word.

But I shouldn’t be competitive even in writing, since I’m not really competitive in anything at all (I don’t remember the last thing I felt competitive about). Although in school, I was much more competitive, including writing, I suppose it’s because kids had a lot of free time.

And that’s all I wanted to say. ;-)

I thought I would be writing very little, but I guess not lol ^^;

Anyway, I juz wanted to talk a bit about myself, even though I know there’s no point in doing this. ;-(

I’ve been really tired lately, I had classes lasting the whole day the whole of last week & I have the rest of this week to go T_T

Also, my exams are in the beginning of dec, & I HARDLY STUDIED!!!! @_@;;; argh, I’m gonna die~~ (actually, I wish I could die) >_>;;; I know there are people who say that, but there 2 big differences, one is the people who succeed in the end, & the other is people who FAIL. T_T so, I know some people may say, “aiyah, u sure pass ar.” DON’T SAY THAT. Bcos if you say that, when I fail, I will blame u for it. >_> I’ve failed before, why can’t I fail again?!? & lots of people were surprised & shocked that I failed, & I know I have only myself to blame, so yes, I’ll just go and bang my head on the wall now, I’m sure that’s better than what I’m doing now T_T

& sorry to end on this bad mood, but actually I’m fine, just depressed at lots of times before exam, & wondering whether I am able to study in this next few weeks, cos I feel like I’ve forgotten how to study hard (which wouldn’t be very far from the truth).

I hope to blog again after my exam, it’s not good to blog before exams, I feel like I’m cursing myself ^^; but I did want to blog a bit, so I’m glad I finally blogged, just that the last part was unnecessary…. Oh well…
