What am I doing here? I'm suppose to be sleeping by now. In fact, I'm really tired and my brain neurons are probably half dead so pardon me if I happen to crap a lot in this post. I know... you guys are probably thinking, " Go ahead and sleep then!" I wish I could but there are a few things that has bothering me lately and I need to express this out before I continue college tomorrow or I'll risk suffering from emotional breakdown... just kidding! Okay, will talk about it later. Anyways, I've been wanting to post a lot of stuff but I just couldn't find enough time to do so. I really don't want this blog to be in another of my "temporary interest" category so I'm really trying hard to maintain it especially with my new schedule which requires me to enter class at 8 a.m. from Mondays to Fridays and finish at about 5 and sometimes 6p.m. Sigh, so much for having a life. I mean after those classes, I'd be so tired that I might possibly end up skipping dinner just so I could jump straight to bed. Hmm... to think of it, that's not entirely a bad thing since I'll be on my "dream diet", literally.

Moving on to the less crappy stuff, I'm so excited about the outcome of the latest 7 wonders of the world(Please visit Kel's blog for the pictures). Yes, I know it's yesterday's news but I couldn't resist blogging about it. To make it short and sweet, I'm so glad that The Great Wall made it to the list. Not that I was worried it wouldn't get a spot in the finals because if it doesn't, it would've been a scandal. The question is, with the newly announced 7 wonders in addition of the Pyramids of Giza which was given the sole right to maintain it's status without participating in the vote, wouldn't the whole thing be known as the 8 wonders of the world right now? Speaking of pyramids, Egypt later announced that the new 7 wonders has no value and the pyramids will be the only true wonder. WTF! Hello... don't they know that the ancient wonders are basically compiled by a bunch of Greek geeks that probably just travelled around the Mediterranean rim giving their one sided views on what's the wonders of the world? At least the new wonders are from a general point of view by people around the world. Having said that, I still agree that the pyramids are indeed a marvelous creation, withstanding the test of time therefore worthy of the title, wonders of the world.

Now that I've had my say, it's time to talk about "the thing" that has been bothering me. Lets put it this way, in my class there are people with different capabilities. Some are good in everything, some are weaker than others and some are generally good with a certain weakness. I fall in the third category. Now the problem arises when group assignments are handed out. Notice the word group? It's not like I can't work with people, just that it's a little bit different this semester. There are a lot of new people who are merging with our class for certain subjects and basically it adds in to the competition hence the high stress level. Since our assignments are given to us on our first day of class and our grouping was to be finalized on the next, it's expected that everyone would choose to group with people they know because we don't even get the chance to socialize yet. Our class decided to draw lots among ourselves with five to a group and I was quite happy with the outcome. Sadly, my joy was short lived because it was unfair that some groups were having a majority of people who are weaker so we decided to switch to make a balance. I guess you get the picture by now. During my last semester I had grouped with "hard to deal with" people before but I was okay with it because it was just my class and I knew what standards I need to achieve to get good grades but now with the addition of new people, I'm a little bit worried because I don't know where to set my standard therefore I can't afford any screw ups for this semester. Since this is mostly about my business class where presentation holds a greater deal of marks because proposals are important in the business world, I'm even more distress. I know what I'm thinking is a bit self centered because I actually know how the weaker people feels. It's as if they've been viewed as a burden even though they've tried their best, for some. I know this because I've been the weak one before. I'm in such a confusing stage right now, stuck between principle or achievement. On one hand, I felt that the right thing to do is to help others but on the other, my father pays his ass out for my education and the least I could do is not to let the past repeat itself. Advice? Anyone...
