Finals : I dont care for em.

As students we all face this time of the year. Final's week. The time where all you have done over the course of the year (or 6 months depending if your in a university, like me tee hee xD ) will be examined, judged, looked over and if the scraps of knowledge you have left on the paltry piece of paper are deemed fit enough to prove that you have indeed learnt enough of this particular subject, you are awarded the status of pass and are promoted to higher levels of knowledge.

Now It is my greatest misfortune that i am studying in a course that i do not like. Engineering as said in "3 idiots" has never been my wife/girlfriend/mistress/loved one/cuccy kuchy coo person/crush/soul mate you name it. It has always been someone i like seeing with other people, not with me. However my mother wanted me to be with engineering and to honor her wishes i got in to my current university  Adios my one true love, being a chef (i miss you too gaming. Oh i would never cheat on Manchester united, you are above and beyond everything. So you tonight, rooting for you to win against west brom :D )

While i have gone with the tried and trusted words of This man who said

"I don't care for exam because a single sheet of paper cant decide my future"

while i don't actually like Mister Thomas Edison, (more on that in a later) he does have a point. I elaborate this with an example.

We have subject A, student that has worked hard all term and does everything right. He studies 90 out of 100 questions from the exam courses, the exam consists of those 10 questions that he didn't do. While his friend did only those 10 questions and has no clue what the course is even about. Who will pass and then judge who deserves to pass.

Until exam system's change they wont matter much and even if they do you have no guarantee that coming first or failing in exams will effect your future. I give you my personal example. I have dragged through all the semesters in my university (there is a reason i'm called panda ^_^ i'm dead lazy :P ). my study plan is spending the semester doing whatever i want (its basically sleep :P ) and on finals week i move to my friends hostel, i closely watch what they study and learn and i reproduce that on the exam, with devastating effect (thank you god for giving me a really great memory and a larger then normal IQ (more on that too later :P ) i have passed all my exams with 70-75% marks EXCEPT for those courses i actually fell in love with. Programming. I didn't even work hard in the exam prep day's and i still got 97 out of 100 in both courses. i have a part time job as a program designer (helps with the pocket money :) ) and if i dont pursue my dream of being a chef, i'll still have a decent option to fall back on, despite being more then average in my studies.

I often say this to my friends, If you love what you do and you do what you love, you will never feel like working a day of your life. Your job will feel like your hobby :) and its what i plan to do. What about you. Tell me what you want to be and why :)

i might not update much during the next 2 weeks cuz even though i coast through the exam periods i still have to work hard (rolls eyes -_- i hate working hard ) so take care till then. 

Panda-liciously yours ;)
