No matter what happens, just be confident and go on...
Often used, somehow this does not sound convincing enough when faced with battles on four fronts with inadequate planning,unfamiliar resources and no proper command structure. True, exams once again and all four subjects akin to a battle.
Law school seems to have become the place where every trimester outdoes the one preceding it in terms of weariness and just plain apathy towards the state of things, particularly the exams. And invariably, the results have followed up with an inverse relation to the degree of apathy.Sounds scary, especially when this is just the 3rd out of 15 trimesters. Hopefully, this is a cycle of 3 trimesters and next year will again start on a good note.
In my high school, we had a word "baal" that was used discriminately in these kinds of situations.Everything was baal. A word that was applicable to all situations, it is hard to define, but roughly, it is something like a damn care attitude with an idea that life will go on, despite the current problems. More than a word, it was something that was felt and thus understood without the necessary to limit it to a narrow definition.
I guess, it was just lived.
Looks like my current exams are going the "baal"way.
As would have been said in high school, still the same, try your best and the rest is still "baal ho".
Very true...
ReplyDeleteBut yes, if it's not a cycle then most of us will be brain dead by the team we reach the 5th year :)
Baal. Good recall of the word. That is how it should be. What matters in this world? I am yet trying to figure out. School? SLC? A-Levels? And now university? GPA? then maybe, wife, children, money....on and on.
ReplyDeleteI was living with a doctor who had completed his MBBS from Nepalgunj Medical coll and was going to enroll in one of the medical schools here in the US. He looked normal, and like us, had a dream that he pursued honestly.
Guess what happened.
He died this Sunday, 4-5 days ago. Reason- a blockage in his heart. A young guy, looked very healthy and yet he is no more. When I think about these things, I don't know what matters the most. You never know what's going to happen next.
