Why did I become an undergraduate?

img_1201.JPGWith all the talk about mybloglog i’ve finally incorporated it into the blog. I’m not sure if it’s going to last long but right now, it seems like a pretty cool thing. I especially like the backend panel and how they allow you to create a community around your blog.

Anyway, it’s the weekend and i felt like dropping a note on my blog to escape my impending deadlines for a bit…

School is really getting on my nerves. I mean it when I say that school is taking up too much of my time. How do most people survive university here in Singapore? It’s just so…stifling. I want so much to build things with my coursemates…to think up of something and then go through the whole process of brainstorming, designing, implementing and debugging. Instead I’m stuck with copying and pasting codes off lecture notes just so that the project can output the right stuff. Half the time, I don’t even know what’s happening. I just know that it works.

This brings my entire purpose of being in university into question. Why am I wasting my time and money being in a place where I don’t want to be in? I feel so much like doing what Steve Jobs did…dropping out of uni but crashing lectures and tutorials that he thought were relevent….I thought that that was an excellent path…it makes so much sense.

Why are you in university?
