Oct. 16th, 2010 06:27 pmSo a while ago I was up at 3am doing homework, and then was too tired to continue so I went to bed. The next day, despite three hours of sleep, I had finished everything for the first class but did nothing for the presentation in the second class. Then late into the first class I prepared slightly then used lunch to finish while eating. Well, this presentation was given two weeks to prepare, I prepared for half-an-hour and apparently I got a good mark.
You know, in an ideal world people shouldn't be able to do that. Where everything is fair and someone who has worked lots on something gets the same mark as someone else, but in reality this situation happens quite often. This ability though is not always good. I think I'd rather be a person with great work ethic than having these things handed to me, granted if I actually prepared in advance I'd probably be less stressed out and have more sleep, so it's not all unfair and such.
But, lots of people procrastinate don't they? Moreso than me, and some people are probably better at this whole "WING THE PRESENTATION" or "WING THE TEST" thing than me, but any Arts exams I can usually wing, while anything in the sciences I'd probably require that work ethic to go anywhere. This is why despite how boring and uninteresting I find mathematics or physics may be, I do admire them. They're good people. They save lives as doctors and entertain us as game designers. These days we need more of these people, with so many people being put off by such "supposedly" difficult subjects...
The funny thing was, I once had the stereotypical asian intelligence symbiote. You know, the one that means people of this ethnicity are good at math? Yeah, I was once good at math. I liked math and I was a very logical person....I wonder what happened.
