Just don't try and get by on rote learning. As we saw testerday, it leads to getting fucked in the ass.

That's just the D4 Institute kids, primarily, with more money then sense who try to learn everything off without comprehending it so they can get into college without being intellectually able for the course.

I actually thought Paper One in Maths was more challenging than Paper Two. I didn't have any problems with either of them, I aced them both, I thought the first one was more challenging than the second.

Well a lot of courses require high points not because they require great intellect, but because there's such a high demand for them, so if people learn by rote and get the points they can still be well able for the course.

I know but the Institute has a 60% first year drop-out rate. Some people, for the most part, dont know how to learn for themselves and they just get spoon-fed so learning by rote to get into college obviously doesnt always work.

No, it's just that they go from an environment of extreme pressure to learn to college, wherr the lecturer doesn't give a fuck

I'm off at 12 on the last day, which is sort of depressing, because so many people I know finished after Art History last Thursday. Urgh.

Chemistry in T minus an hour and a half... Kill me now, but after that it's just Japanese, which'll be plain sailing.

THE END IS IN SIGHT!
