Diary of a Slacker #1
Dear Diary,
The exam results are in. I scored not too bad actually. Considering that I didn’t even put any effort in for mid-sem, 4Bs and a C, it’s acceptable, to me at least. For my parents however, that’s another story. But who gives a damn anyway? It’s just mid-term.
There are 3 days left till the mid-sem break is over. I am so not looking forward to waking up early in the morning and having Maths as first period. Who’s the smart one that puts Maths in the first period anyway? It’s eight in the morning and they expect us to function well enough to do Maths? Come on!
Plus, I’m already too used to waking up in the afternoon, after staying up the entire night, randomly clicking on people’s Facebook or Twitter pages and playing The Sims 3. Well yes, I do play computer games; it’s rather enjoyable actually… Pardon me, that’s the computer geek in me talking.
Speaking of geeks, another reason I’m dreading the start of the new sem is the look on my classmates when they find out about my results. It’s typical you see, to ask about our results. It’s gonna be the “hot topic” for at least a week in college. Heck, even after we finished sitting for the exams my classmates were already going around asking, “how’d you do?”
Obviously everybody expects me to say, “It’s so hard, I could barely even answer one question” considering the amount of time I sleep in class. I admit, I am barely awake in class, and I barely do the homework, but that doesn’t mean my head is as empty as Paris Hilton’s. I believe in the term study smart, not study hard.
Anyways, I was talking about the look, well yeah; it’s the normal look they give when someone like me scores for an exam. The look on their face says it all, “how could SHE score a B when she did NOTHING whereas I did everything and could barely score an A?” The same look. For almost 10 years. It really gets to me.
Just because I do not do my homework does not mean that I do not understand the subjects. Just because I procrastinate to the very last minute to do my assignments – does that mean I do not deserve my grades? Just because I am a slacker – does that mean I’m dumb? I’m just really tired with all these stereotypes about slackers. Just because I do not spend my golden years locked up in a room, cracking my brains doesn’t mean I do not deserve my grades! Cut me some slack people!
Anyways, that’s all for today, after all I do have 3 more days of mid semester break.
