Chewing On It

Updated the layout cos the stripes were getting too jarring for my eyes. Simple layout featuring Jessica Stam also thereby known as Rachel's favourite model. So yes, besides that. Was in a pretty awkward situation today praying for some sort of moderation in this feverish manner after both my Physics and Bio marks fail to reach the next GPA level by 1 mark. Its pretty interesting on how the human mind adapts so quickly to its surroundings, in this case the freakish marks-are-priority atmosphere in the KS Chee. Equally amusing was the geographical boundaries of the school seemed to mark that warped mentality; when I stepped out of the school gates and started my iTunes its like the mental bubble burst and the "what on earth was I thinking, caring about school grades like that", after which of course the (somewhat neverending) conundrum to finding the equilibrium position on grades sprouted all over again, which got me thinking.
Why do people care so much about their grades in that moment of time? Biological and psychological factors otherwise and even though smart girls know how grades don't define themselves, perhaps its just the burst of emotion (or some kindof hormonal neurotransmitter) triggering that illogicality. Can't quite put a finger on what exactly, but eventually the nonchalance got the better of me. Yeah, seretonin kicks adrenaline's ass. Always. |
