its now 5 months into the year,
and its strange, cos tho it's so different,
it somehow still feels the same.
honestly speaking, i think i preferred the learning environment back in VSGEP.
well at least the people there actually were thinking.
ok. dats not fair, nor is it true.
but there weren't people who totally didn't think (James i'll conveniantly forget).
i dont know. maybe i'm being abit harsh.
but really its scary, cos when ip was started it was for bright people,
supposedly for peolpe who could think creatively,
who could work smart.
but coming here, and after talking to certain people (albeit the more thinkin ones. honestly),
i realised that its still very much similar to mainstream.
i mean, ok about everyone here were formally from mainstream, but come on,
this is IP. we're suppose to be different, to do things in a more advanced way compared to mainstreamers. i'm not saying mainstreamers are dumb or anything,
but what i'm saying is people here should be alot smarter in how they do things.
(her3 i'm speakin for more than one person).
by thinkin i don mean like doing work and stuff. hell everyone thinks (ah duh).
but to actually think about wad they're doin,
to consider they're actions, actually analyse things before asking questions,
things like dat (pardon the lame unintended pun).
i mean, i'm not naming anyone but some people just aren't thinkin,
and it's becoming very obvious and sure as hell irritating.
its really sad that people come here and still believe that they can work the way they did previously.
cos sadly it's not possible. this is one thing GEP has taught me,
and more specifically wad last year had taught me.
you're expected to find the answers, not people provide them for you.
and in doing this you're also suppose to intepret things for ureself.
sadly (again), some people just aint doing this.
yes, there are people who are trying,
maybe u could call it adapting,
and for that i salute them.
but for the others i just hope they start trying,
or at least be aware of the fact that being in the IP is diff from mainstream,
and actually diff from secondary sch altogether.
i don mean to be damn hao lian or anything,
but i tink dat GEPers are better adapted to the IP system than others,
sadly this aint very well reflected (think me and aaron),
but really, wad we've done in GEP is similar to how things are being done now.
and i believe it really helps.
put it this way. everyone keeps saying how "i'll go home an mug!",
and honestly i think this is a really lousy way of lookin at things.
i mean, there's only so much you can mug for.
here in IP they expect you to think about wad ure 'mugging' about.
there's no use jus muggin and muggin, cos it'll only get you this far.
(nb: my "you"s and "they"s are USUALLY ambiguous)
why do people want to mug?
personally i don believe in muggin, cos i tink its useless, but dats me.
seriously, wads the point? are we jus studyin for the sake of studyin?
because people tell us we must study? cos everyone else is doin so?
its slightly ironic, as the above is wad i shld be doin,
but dats besides the point.
jus something to thiink about...
