  But dang.... my life does not revolve entirely around studying.
  
  I sure as heck can't devote that much effort over a prolonged time period without burning myself out.
  
  Heck, I'm already starting to feel the effects of burnout. I need a break.

  err, sad thing is...they didnt do as well as me....
  
  because they spend more time memorising the stuff, than understanding and analysing the course materials
  
  and especially the girls, they panicked easily when they dont understand some concepts and they are always asking so many questions which doesnt lead to anything useful at all
  
  oh well, anyway, yeah i can empathise with you
  
  i got so burned out studying its a wonder i havent fall sick before

  What I find sadder is that even in uni, we still have people trying to spot topics and guess what's coming out for the exams.
  
  I have friends who chide me for 'not studying smart' just because I refuse to spot topics.
  
  And they almost invariably end up doing worse because half the time, they end up spotting the wrong topics.... so how is that 'studying smart'?
  
  And they still persist in such behaviour even though it has failed them so many times. Smart sia....

  Hello there!
  
  School... Okay lah. Assessment's coming up, and I haven't done any work. Yay me.
  
  One week break just ended, to catch up with work. Did a little bit. And the end of this semester is coming in two weeks.

  screw that.. i decided not to go for an MBA because i realised it was all rubbish they were going to teach...
  
  i went to a few of these education fairs who were trying to get students.. when i asked about alternative views, they didn't want to hear about anything...
  
  i figure, i'm learning my own way

  Yeah... I remember chiding some of the O Level kids in another forum when they were discussing the spotting of topics for their History paper.
  
  Heck, when one guy said, 'Just study everything', he was chided by another for 'not studying smart'.
  
  Ok lor.... the way I see it, spotting of topics is like playing Russian Roulette with a GPMG. The only way you'll survive is that the weapon kena IA.
