yah i'm mad. congratulate me quick! i jus finished typing the bloody essay and i'm so relieved i managed to finish it at long last... zzz it's 2am and i'm gonna go sleep. printing will be done when day breaks. when i wake up that is.
looking in hindsight, the essay wasn't an artifact of one and a half day's worth of work. i had made trips to the library on two separate days prior to my commencement of any actual typing. indeed i procrastinated working on this due to the previous deadline. but i was still somewhat on the ball and read the few references i had borrowed occasionally to gain some insight. what is more was i managed to sieve out various websites (i had a little assistance from someone too) that relate to the topics of discussion. in the end, i came up to 1700 over words; not including the "References" section. so i guess i am satisfied at ranting at long in the essay. i suppose it is somewhat of an overkill because the upper threshold was meant to be at 10% of 1500 meaning a max of 1650 words. talk about over achieving! XD
i'm just in a mad mood now. partly overjoyed at the fact i'm done with yet another assignment, and in the other part, crossing my fingers in hope that it won't score a C or worse. nobody wants to sound incoherent in their words so i certainly i didn't.
so yay! that being put aside for now, i can breath out momentarily. there will still be second waves of assignment and such. got to hold my breath and don't sink and drown! i'm weird. just feeling upbeat about things.
i want to rant. so i shall.
not that i understand it, but i believe every issue should be treated objectively. fair assessments should be made on a matter and have the pros and cons weighed in perspective. be it something that you would rather have over something that is good for you, when the points are listed out it would be easier to make a judgment. you can go around polling for opinions. but of course the final decision lies with you. and although sometimes the judgment call can be a painful process, the eventuality will be a much more pleasant one for the decision maker.
i love to rationalise things. some say you really shouldn't rationalise matters of the heart. but then again why can it not? given that advantages and disadvantages can be listed down in comparison, be it tangible(money, possessions, living quarters) or intangible(popularity, character, affection, attitude), would it not make the better option more visible? this would reduce a lot of migraines and deliberations. it all boils down to the necessity of doing homework before making a final decision.
i think i've probably lost my train of thought by now. i'm in a way doing cooling down exercise for my fingers. typing until my brain juices run dry. for the sake of obvious, i just completed typing an essay 200+ words in excess of the 1500 i was required to do.
so my mind is once again lost to its own mindless banter. hrmm isn't that oxymoronic... a mind with a mindless banter. ok so i'm rubbishing again... i have to admit it. i love to type!
so what if happy events and sad events happen? they happen all the time around us. they can happen at the same time too! so by logic of emotion if both happen at the same time u are suppose to feel sad if the happy event is not "happy" enough. and something like that. people expect us to react the way THEY would behave. and from there comes the sheep instincts. that, or some people just respond intuitively or just not wishing to be looked upon as "different" from their peers.
let's see if you can follow my train of thought. it's getting lost in the amazon of my neural maze. many processes in life are pretty much similar. i just went to attend a lecture in Software Process Management. from what was presented, i gather everything is roughly the same idea. from large to small. it's something called evolution. but that's the general idea. what evolution does is in abstract terms,
- taking a small set of requirements and needs and determining what exactly is the problem to be defined(fish needs to breathe underwater, for example)
- generate options to which the requirements may be fulfilled (evolving different types of breathing facilities? fish breathing via skin, gills, obtaining different types of respiratory elements...)
- construct the required items... a new breed is born!
- adapt to the environment and see if the requirements work.
- test somemore and see if there're better ways...
from there the iteration restarts itself. thus the fish can evolve in various stages to what it is now by gradual stages of evolution. i guess you could apply the same to problem solving, even in daily life. that's how people learn. that's how the internet grew. that's how Java got developed. people learn from mistakes and develop better ideas from there. sometimes, it may not even be mistakes. sometimes people may just think... "oh this existing set of functions do not fulfil what i want" and they get around to coming up with better tools with which to serve their needs.
you are probably scratching your head by now. or kudos to you if you skipped that whole bunch of text completely. i'm just once again pouring out my brain in a messy stone skipping game in my head.
your opinions are valuable. please let me know what you think of me even if it will hurt. just come straight up to me and shout "you suck!" if that's your cup of tea even! of course i'll appreciate some bits of explanations but at least you are being truthful about me to me. this is similar to the iteration process with which i can improve myself upon!
*ooh that verbal diarrhoea felt great!*
