man i have two huge essays to hand up by next wed and it's already friday evening... am trying to do the polsci one first...
i need to analyze two other approaches towards international relations and compare them to realism... and i chose peace studies and postmodernism. i think PM is the 'toughest' out of the lot.. in terms of conceptualisation and explanation but i wanted to kinda master it.. was reading some stuff just now. it's kinda cool in all its abstractness but can be so damn annoying too...
anyway. i did my theory test and got my permit to learn driving yesterday. in the US everything is so damn lax in regards to driving... i just freaking looked through some road signs in the book... got an 88 on the test and passed. everyone said it was so damn easy and required only common sense and i thought it would be a breeze. but i started panicking like hell when i'd done the 5th ques and already got 2 wrong... there was a practice question before and i even got that wrong. i seriously am just plain stupid and nonsensical. the question was what should you do when you're driving and feeling sleepy... and i freaking selected something along the lines of 'on the radio'. my logic was that... if you stopped every time you felt sleepy half the cars on the road would be stationary and sleepiness comes and goes, you have to learn to control, tahan and chiong on. but apparently i was wrong. the answer is stop, get out of the car and wait a while.
.... that really does make more sense. but i made it. passed. so good. sometimes i hate doing this cheapskate method. coz i really am not learning driving properly and if i want to learn something i wanna do it thoroughly man. nevermind. ill read up more when i get back to sg. so i got my permit to learn driving, and here as long as you have the permit you can just get your friends who have a license to teach you and can even drive on the streets. i wanna learn manual, and a friend gave me a lesson just now. we went through what is this that.. i have new respect for engineers again. it really is true that people's brains are wired differently to absorb different stuff. give me science - ok can. arts - can can. engineering mechanical stuff. im screwed big time man. feel like a freaking guniang trying to drive. but anyway. talked about some things, friend demoed some stuff, and off we went. i went. in the parking lot. i gave friend and myself a few heart attacks many times. it's definitely easier auto, but manual is the way to go for me man. i think. starting to have some reservations now. haa. man. i dont know if i can ever conquer this huge piece of metal. i seriously hope i dont kill somebody one day. it's just so freaking easy for accidents to happen.
*part deleted*
what are politics... but a stupid never ending fight between selfish human beings.
i shall not upset myself with such bullshit.
