Today was the H3 physics test, which was unlike anything i've ever seen or imagined. first off is the mark allocation for the various questions, which went something like 20, 16, 16, 8, 40. that's right, you get a 40 mark question in a 100 mark test. and the rest of the questions were not exactly easy either. minus 16 here, minus 20 there, and i guess i can kiss this 7.5% goodbye.
i've suddenly been thinking today about the social outcasts of my life; those few people whom others always seem to have a problem with, or talk bad about behind their backs, or exclude from their social circles. sometimes i wonder if they are blissfully unaware of the fact that many of their so-called friends just tolerate their presence, or if they can see exactly how those around them hide acid tongues behind their sugary smiles, and simply swallow this toxic cocktail and carry on with their lives. why do we judge those around us with our imaginary gavel, when none of us can claim to have reached perfection? why do we blame them for not fitting in, instead of blaming ourselves for not letting them fit in? why do we treat them like that, but point out immediately when they do the same to us? i just hate this kind of gossip and exclusion. i hate relationship politics. call me naive or idealistic, but i truly hope for the day when swords can be beaten into plows, and clenched fists can be persuaded into open arms.
