My Psycholinguistics professor told us something about grades:

Grades tell your performance, not your ability (Yu, 2008).

Hear, hear I say. I’m not getting gaga over grades but as much as possible..

I strive so that my ability would reflect my performance (Aguado, 2008).

But (Yeah, I’m a bench-sitter!) as much as I want to have good grades, I am not as conscious as other people. Haha. I like doing many non-academic, leisurely, unproductive and time-wasting endeavors like watching Grey’s Anatomy, playing with my Labrador for at least an hour, staring at the boob-tube, stalking her and other things that prevent me to do homeworks. I told myself once that I am a person who is so mature that I have the longest attention-span for my age. But hey, I’m freakin’ wrong. I wonder if people with short-attention span know that they have such! Since they can’t think and reflect about it since they have, err, short-attention span. Haha. Anyway, having such condition really sucks, I can’t concentrate on a single activitiy! No, I’m not multitasking, I’m simply not doing my tasks!!

Self-distraction is self-destruction (Aguado, 2008).

I’m always pushing my self-distraction button that is activated together with the self-destruction option. I’m re-watching some parts from the Movie Love of Siam over and over again, only to realize that I have to re-write a lot of technical writing papers over and over again. Hai. But this is one thing I have learned from the movie:

Separation is worse than rejection (Aguado, 2008).

I came to this conclusion through this rationale: Feelings are not yet that invested prior to rejection, but feelings are already invested big-time and preserved prior to separation. Well, some have disagreed. I respect them of course, we live in world that respects relativism.

I think everything is painful (de Asis, 2008).

—

I fear rejection more (Calderon, 2008).

Then I told them that the combination of rejection and separation would be the worst thing.

If both of them happen at the same time, it wouldn’t hurt that much. If you are rejected, separation would be easier (Villanueva, 2008).

Yay, I have sewn Plurk one-liners in a cohesive blog entry. Haha. For more one-liners, visit/follow me at Plurk!

I’m a person who regards randomness as a perfect order (Aguado, 2008).
