学会珍惜天长和地久

[methrowrock]

有时候有时候 / 我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候 / 没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候 / 宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透 / 也许你会陪我看细水长流

This has to be my favourite song ever. The original by 王菲 was heartaching, as were the covers by 张悬 and 方大同. It is a perfect song to waste time away with: it lessens the guilt as it makes you feel that there are things bigger than academics (which IS true, just not at this point in time.) Every day is a new cycle of firm resolve to complete work, followed by dissolution of will and the absorption of hours by a vacuum of frivolity. "Prelims" is a hot issue nowadays, with people pulling hair out and cringing at the subsequent mention of "four weeks" and allusions to the 19873072 topics we have to stuff into modicums of free brainspace. It is kind of funny, up to the point when you realise that you are in the middle of all this shit as well. Then, you backpedal and hope to do it quickly enough so that you can bang your head against a wall and slip into a four-month-long coma. Was this the same atmosphere before Os? I can hardly recall. This time, however, I really need to give it my all. Going to pull my act together from TODAY, for real. So, goodbye and good luck :)

"this the same atmosphere before Os? I can hardly recall." i was thinking the exact same thing. It's weird cos pple (from IP) ask, "how did you survive o's?" or "how was o's like?" and honestly, I don't know!!! How did we even survive prelims and then the 2 weeks of papers?

i know that "there are things bigger than academics" but it's so hard to feel that way when you're sucked right into the vortex of it :/ but we will come out TRIUMPHANT ok! (or at least, we will do the best we can). besides, using the most cliched comforting phrase, this is prelims, not a levels! :D you can do it audrey!
