Touch

I don't know if it's just me, or whether it's a collective happening, but I seem to be losing touch with all social forms of my life. Maybe it's paranoia, but I haven't been getting smses and no one's talking online, which is weird.

Perhaps it's the state of anxiety just before the exams when everyone seems to be studying with every spare second, cramming as much as they can into their brains.

I don't mean to be cynical here, but what are we studying for? At the end of the day, it's just another blotch of printed ink on a piece of paper. What does it tell you about yourself? Most importantly, what have you learnt? It's the reason why I do not mug; not because I think I'm too good, but it's the application that matters more. Sure, I memorise stuff, but I don't memorise page 26, line 17, word 7's definition.

I'm still dreading choosing subject combinations at the end of the term. I really don't know where to go. I guess I'll just have to pray and ask God, knowing that He has the best in mind for me.
