I nearly died in Math class today.
Number one being the air conditioner was set up to freeze-and-kill mode. It's bad enough that I woke up feeling crummy, the weather just reflected even more my mood for the day (it was gloomy and dark) and then I enter the classroom to sit through what felt like 2 hours of the Arctic.
To make matters worse, I didn't finish my previous homeworks and today my lecturer decides to give us a test. Thankfully, I managed to at least finish the paper. I think I got at least half right? Please say I did. Maths have never been my forte. Never will actually.
The rest of the day was spent in the library, rushing for my speech finals tomorrow. Weeks of preparation just for a stupid 5 minute graded speech. The topics bear no importance to my life at all. We're speaking on snatch thieves and I'm sorry if I happen to be as ignorant as every other Malaysian citizen out there, but I couldn't care less about snatch thieves here.
Yeah sure I know the severity of it and I take precautions when I'm not but like everyone else, I say to myself, "It'll never happen to me..". I feel bad for the victims of snatch thieves but at the end of the day, it's just sympathy and after that, I go back to my life.
The point of that whole rant was to prove that we're actually selfish people. We see disaster and turmoil happening everyday and we feel bad for it but that's all we're capable of doing. Kids in Africa are starving and everyday at least 5 kids die out of it. All we do is say, "Oh that's horrible..", and then we continue on eating our dinner.
I'm sorry. That was a horrible accusation to make but I feel so..off today. Must have been the workload. Plus, the pressure for speech this time is no joke. To hell with being a good speaker. I just want to get the 5 minutes of torture over and done with tomorrow.
And then it's sem break. I don't think I've ever been happier to hear of a holiday until today.
I'll never fall apart.
