Cold feet

Lately, I mentioned "cold feet" regarding sitting for an exam, & then it got me thinking. I'm the kind of person who has cold feet. Literally. Not all the time, of course, but when the room or place is cold, my feet are one of the 1st things to feel cold. Feel cold as in when someone touches it it feels cold, not that I feel cold where my feet are concerned.

& I was thinking that I don't know anyone who has cold feet (literally) either, except my father. Which is why long ago I came to the conclusion that it was hereditary. My mum doesn't have cold feet, her feet are always nice & warm, & she likes my cold feet lol. I guess my parents pair up well in that aspect too hehe XD

I hope that wasn't considered something private, because I obviously didn't think of it that way T_T But sometimes I mention private things that shouldn't have been mentioned, but then so do others unto me, so I suppose it is a common mistake & can't be helped.

Although my feet are generally cold, I do not get cold feet otherwise. But I was thinking that whoever who made up that phrase must be someone who gets cold feet when they're scared of doing something, so that's how this phrase came about. It's probably a very common symptom just like sweaty hands (which I don't experience either).

Just another random thought ;-) albeit a strange thought o_O; lol jk ;-D

Studies

I have a few not-so-random thoughts, as in, there're certain thoughts I have, which I have thought of since I was a child, & I can't help thinking about it occasionally, probably because these thoughts are related to life.

& because I just had an exam, I couldn't help thinking about it. I was grumbling, whining & complaining (in my mind & out loud) about exams as usual, & for the 10638th time I was thinking that I hate exams, & why can't there be such a thing as no exams in the world (such were my thoughts as a kid, I wished a lot of things didn't exist. Another thing I wish didn't exist was Monday lol).

Well, I knew why there was the existence of exams in this world since young. Do you? It's pretty simple (especially if you have enough time to think about it rather than study for the exam). But this is just assuming majority people are like me, even though I know that it may not be true.

If exams didn't exist, would you bother to study? I wouldn't, that's how lazy I am. Ok, maybe when I just started school, I didn't think about such things. I loved to learn new things, & I didn't think of exams as exams because I was very blur at the time, & I just answered questions to the best of my ability.

But when I started thinking more, about life & everything else, I couldn't help wondering, what was the point of all this? & it started getting all meaningless, & entertainment & games seemed more interesting.

Still, I'd defend myself by saying that I'd study hard even if there weren't such a thing as exams (an outright lie). But I did try last time, & even now I still believe (occasionally) that it is possible to excel in what you do even without having to go through exams. & yes, I know that exams are to test how good you are in something, & there shouldn't be a problem if you are good in it anyway. My dad says he loves exams *rolls eyes* & he said the reason why, but I'm not sure whether I should expose it lol

Anyway, wouldn't it be really nice if everyone were so good (morally & ethically) that they'd all study & work as hard as possible, so much that the need for exams will be extinguished one day? That'd be in my utopia one day ;-D
