Exerpt from a letter to a clueless friend....

in reference to subjects already mentioned in this forum...

"...i am melodramatic right now and you may blame it all on my internals. the realisation that i am studying in a system wher my success of failure depends on varied factors like my affinity to boning up about fish & cockroaches, hydrocarbons & electron spins or global warming & population characteristics.....as the subject may demand.....has depressed me quite intensely. dont get me wrong, i LIKE learning about fish, cockroaches, hydrocarbons, electron spins, global warming, population characters (well maybe not the last) and all the other stuff but i do NOT like boning up about it!!! in fact i REFUSE to bone up........well, its only symbolic of course, if i actually refused they might flunk me!.......in protest against this inane pounding of useless trivia into my brain! like, why shud i care if an parrotfish has an endoskelton similar to that of the labeo??
i make that reference to my recent zoology viva, in which the question asked was, identify with 3 reasons the specimen given...it was a turtle...so i told her, classification with the reasons: shell, front flippers and head morphology. she asked me, why didnt i tell her that it about its respiration methods. well my point here is, the animal is DEAD, i cant SEE how it is respiring! so how will its frickin mode of respiration be an identifying factor??!?!??!??!?!?!??
haaaaaaaaaan, as you can see i'm stil pretty het up about it all! a condition not eased in the least by the fact that even tho i gave one line answers followed by "ummm......." to all the questions in ALL the vivas, i have still got 7 or 8 or evn 9(twice) marks in all of them. now what does that tell you about the quality of education?! tchah! is what i say!..."
