A Slow Boiling Point
It is a sad day for the ECE students of Block U. After a devastating ELC long test last friday, the results that came out were far from pretty. If you got a really ugly face, put it in a blender and put in 5 cups of extra ugly, you won't even come close to how ugly it was. I, on the other hand, wanting to preserve a bit of my pride and possibly sanity, CUT ELC lec. Instead, I just went to the CTC open lab room and sorted out my next lab report with AC, Lynn and Nice. It had been an interesting weekend as I recollected as many some of my blockmates had shared their concerns about passing this subject.
As of right now, people are going to fail, I'm sure, I can't deny that but I hate to see these people throw their hands up in the air and say, "I quit" when there is still some hope in redemption. It's easy to throw in the towel because I've been there and I've felt that bitter taste at the tip of your tongue that you can't seem to make to go away. I hate to see my friends in such a situation but it's not something I can help in either because I am also having problems in the same thing. All I can really do is hope and pray to the big guy up there that we all somehow survive.
It's not easy to fail, it's an awful feeling to have. Who likes failing anyway? It makes you feel like rubbish, a nothing, a nobody whose existence isn't even worth seconds of anybody's time. In fact, some go as far as say... quitting their lives which is a really stupid thing to do. I just think that people aren't used to seeing themselves fail. We have to be perfect for people to accept us or for us to accept us; for all our flaws and insecurities, seeing ourselves fail is something we cannot accept whole-heartedly because who really wants to say to themselves that they are nobodies?
