(no subject)
I feel as if a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders; reports were due thursday at 9:00am, and really, I no longer have to try in school. But at the same time, I know that won't stop me from taking on more than I can handle, leaving things until the inevitable "last minute" and then stressing about it to no end.
What is it about human nature that makes mediocracy such a terrible thing? (Is that even a word?) Perhaps it's just the environment I've been immersed in for so long, but nothing ever seems to be good enough. Reaching Level A makes you want Level B. Then when you reach that, well, there's always level C. We are never satisfied standing still.
And another thing -
16 out of 100 people in the class of '06 applied for Harvard. Around 60% applied to specialized programs - engineering, McMaster Health Sci, etc - that have limited enrollment. I'm tired of people around me complaining about a 95%, arguing for half a mark on a insignificant assignment, staying up until 4 to study for a "quest", and forgetting to enjoy the last months of a fabulous six years.
And yet, I know I'm not all that much better.
Tonight was a much needed and much deserve break from all the hustle and bustle of school.

It was a freezing cold night - but fun nonetheless :) Used up half a tank of gas just driving there, then driving to korean bbq (MM:D), then to Julie's, then driving everyone home. Awesome weekend, complete with the all-star game and time with rj :)
