I saw that quote on tumblr, and oh my, how relevant! It's very true.

Knowledge
"I don’t want to learn in a classroom anymore. I want to travel and talk to people and learn that way. I want to learn as I go, gathering knowledge and not being rigorously tested on it. I don’t want to lose passion in the things I like because of the worry of exams. I want to fuelled by snippets of knowledge I gain from people and be inquisitive. School has stolen my passion for the things I’m interested in and I hate it for that"

Days Gone By
I'm not really writing this blog post for anyone, but for myself... For me. To express myself. To reflect.
Well it's May now, and 4 whole months have gone! Holy crap, where did the year go? I'm halfway through my HSC, and I'm already making the big decisions. Decisions as to what I'm going to do after school. Well, I have my long term plan set out, but of course, a small, minor plan would help too. I'm getting ready to face my demons known as school, HSC and everything else that is rather problematic in life.
We got our HSC dates last week, and they're in October, in about 5 months. Yes, we are about more than half way through the HSC year, and that's terrifying. But honestly, I'll be fine... I hope. I think, as long as I study and try hard, I shall be fine, and do well. God willing. It's stress point, at this point. Relaxed term. Not so relaxed term. I don't know. Most of our assessment tasks are at the end of the term, but the work just keeps on piling on, and I'm trying to study for yearly trials coming up, shortly. The reason I say shortly is because this is a short term, and then 7 weeks after trials, we have the actual HSC, then 4 months of holiday; before a new life begins.
A new life as an adult, and that's where I'm currently at, at the moment. I'm trying to decide who I am, who I want to be, and where I want to be in life. Of course, all the epiphanies and all the interesting events start to happen during year 12, and it's not like I need any more distractions or anything.
Well, I just have to deal with everything now, I suppose. Maybe I should just confront my current demon, beat it and face the others later. I don't know.
I turn 18 soon. This is a tough journey, but also a spontaneous one, and I can not wait to see where life takes me. So from here on in, life do your thing. (Or don't.)
