so where are all the flying cars?
it's already 2004, and this concept hasn't yet come into fruition. and i believe the country in most dire need of these machines is this third world country i live in, where traffic is hell due to inconsiderate bus drivers and bad flooding problems and overpopulated streets. yesterday, it only rained for about a few minutes, and already, water on the roads rose up to a few inches deep, rushing like a mad river, keeping unfortunate commuters cramped under small waiting sheds. and earlier today, it took me one hour to get home. one hour is normal during the rush hour, but not when it's already 10:30 am and everyone else is either in school or at the office already. i thought there was an accident somewhere, but when i reached the end of the traffic, i found out that there was nothing wrong, it's just that the buses keep on stopping to accommodate passengers and there were just too many cars making a u-turn through the intersection. agh. but of course, flying cars would necessitate new aviation laws and would probably lead to increase in accidents. the problem really lies with the inconsiderate drivers and too many cars being utilized. i don't think the color coding scheme [why is it even called the "color coding" scheme?] and all the converted u-turn passageways have done anything to alleviate the problem.
hay.. :(only one more day until the insurance midterms and i'm not yet done studying half of it. it bothers me so much knowing that even if i study and memorize all the concepts, i wouldn't do well in the exam anyway, because i get too rattled during exams to even think, and most of our professor's questions require logical thinking. it's just so hard to compete in the midst of people who are innately intelligent, who have good memory and who can think on their feet. gawd. i don't know why the hell UP law accepted me in the first place. the admin is currently worried - actually, alarmed - with the latest bar exam results, where 20+ UP law students didn't pass. and right now they're worried about the studentry for being too lax with schoolwork and for not doing well with what they're tasked to do. i don't know about the others, but as for me, i shouldn't be there. they shouldn't have accepted me because i'm sure there are more people more deserving of my slot and because i am not inherently smart like other people or like my dad. and also i have the tendency to get bored easily and i have a sleeping problem that has distracted me in my studies since i was in high school. and yes, i'm justifying myself in [probably] flunking the insurance exam tomorrow. argh. i hate this. i don't feel successful about anything because i'm not doing well in school, and i have this feeling that sooner or later, i'm liable to flunk law school anyway, and i would be left with no direction and purpose. argh.
and my life is still a meaingless cycle. make it stop please.
