an academic mind

well i guess im a bad blogger . i did one and then forgot about it. so here it is for mother gopapatni . all the news is already been said really. you stress and worry and study and worry and read and worry and do the final exams and... not worry. and you get your results and realise what the F*@# was i even worrying for i got straight distinctions. a little to good to be true perhaps in my reality saying as even though i was worried i didnt overtly try or push myself this semester i was more just haveing the attitude of as long as i pass i will get a degree at the end of it. but with some new enlightenment of finding out the company i would like to work for at the end of it all ie. Ernst and Young i now realise that your GPA is actually a more important thing than first appreciated. it is currently standing at a straight 6.00 and the corporate world is full of competition. 
these are the thoughts of a university student torn between wanting achivement and finishing uni bye age of 21 and on the other hand just giving it all up and travelling and coming back later. i think i will stick with it for now. stick with the somewhat boringness of it as opposed to the free lives my friends like dhruva and tara are living. but lets just hope i will come out on top. 
well thats it i guess  battling the academic world. i was back on monday and its good to start utilising my mind again. because 9-5:30 retail work destroys the mind body and soul.

Re: Redacted

So Vishaka shows me her blog page and im like oh this could be a little fun, however am not totally convinced on what i would be blogging about and whether it be worth my while to create one. She continues to show me the famed site of the man who goes bye redacted, we read and we laugh. Again i could not be bothered.
Anyways i go to uni today and as i have done plenty of monday mornings before, i park in a park that i am not completely sure is a legitimate and legal parking spot, however i remember the blog i read bye redacted the night before and chuckled to myself about the parking fine etc. So i leave the car un persuaded as to whether i will get a parking ticket but quickly assure myself that there is no sign that says 'no parking', or 'no stopping', nevertheless there is also no sign that says 'parking between x am and x pm' or '2hr parking only' so i depart my freshly cleaned and polished little black new car and check my shoulder as i cross the road with doubt in my mind as to whether there will be a fine on arrival or not.
As the story goes i spend my 6 hours at uni in and out of tutorials and lectures and forget quickly about my glorious parking spot that saved me a whole $3.50 that would have been spent if i had of parked within the parklands carpark opposite uni.
I walk slowly back to my car on conclusion of my last lecture and i forgot where i parked, i automatically start walking to parklands, quickly veer off as i remember my perfect carpark. Enevitably i arrive and immediately check the windscreen and behold what lies there fluttering in the wind held down bye the heavy wipers but a PARKING TICKET. I laugh immediately and curse the redacted dude as his parking ticket for him saved him from the holy spirit and allowed him to continue his soul less existence, however for me i have a little faith and this for me just means i have to work an extra 9 hours this week inorder to pay for the $120 fine i received.
p.s who even knows that the yellow line on the side of the road means that you cant park there?
