was revising for my module and came across this video... ...



i bet you had a good laugh at this stewpig CSI parody. anyway, i was reading about this interesting to share this phenomenon - cultural capital.

the reason why you're laughing at some of the stuff in this video is because from your learning and day-to-day experiences, you know that some things just dont work this way (like in the video). i mean, imagine someone who doesn't know English, do you think he or she is able to lol or rofl? How about if a person seldom chat online and that person doesn't know what is lol or rofl, do you think he or she is able to understand what i am writing about.

i think education is very important for us to know what the heck is going on in this world. it provide us the capability to read about news, write about our experiences on blogs and express our thoughts and feelings.

but then, why people still say stupid education? well, i believe that education doesnt make people stupid. it only makes us more square and uncreative. gosh, what a topic to talk about when i'm unofficially graduating tomorrow at 11am; making myself so unmotivated to mug for the paper.

i just realised education has turned me silly. the lecturer for tomorrow's paper mentioned before that there's no right or wrong answer in this paper (hooray!) and that we should not restrict ourselves to what is on the notes. she encourages fresh ideas. so in my own interpretation, it is not really a mugging module. but the thought of not touching the notes makes me uncomfortable and unprepared.

question! are we really studying for the sake of knowledge or wanting a qualification? when we study for exams, are we studying for the sake of remembering for life or remembering just for the exams? see, what i mean?

alright, i shall go back to my notes and read for the sake of feeling comfy =)
