the last stv class & 'the man who panted trees'

some might say that social technology a.k.a STV 100 is boring, some might say it's all about writing essay's, some might say its just one of those courses on the list, I'll definitely agree to that albeit i'll put forward the notion that it is probably one course which I have really and truly found interesting till the very end. It's amazing how 2 words such as social & technology can related to each other so much that you can give 10-15 lectures on it and the interdependence between the 2 allows you to relate to topics which you think about almost everyday. So much said, I think some of the documentaries shown in this course where Fant-bu-lous. One them which I would certainly want to remm. for the rest of my life is,' the man who planted trees'

it not only truly defines progress but also somewhat showed me one of the true reasons of human existence, why worshiping and running after god wasn't required when godlike character's existed within us. I think i would like to keep this as a memory for the rest of my life.

The walk

this is my first post since i entered 2B and to sum up things, its not been fun at all. Things have just not turned out the way i wanted them to be. I'm jobless at this point, depressed to quite an extent and quite sure that i'm failing at least one of the 5 midterms i wrote, the number could increase too. But todays walk made me realize quite a lot of things, which probably where really important to realize.
On my left was kenan and my right some brown guy who's name i don't know. But this brown guy has failed a term and has brains as much as me, i'm quite certain about that. So we were walking back from the 222 tutorial and i was blabbering about how I had failed to get a job in the first round .We went on talking about courses and how harder was rushing through the 204 course. I told then that my current situation was not that great and i might end up failing. The brown guy looked at me and said don't think about that. It's real not a good idea to fail, he went on saying how emotionally and psychologically challenged you become once you fail. He told me that he had failed by 0.8% and it wasn't really the greatest time of his life. I kind of agree to that, I remm. how i felt in 1B and how i had promised myself to never give up. Suddenly his small 2 lines of speech made me want and the eagerness to pass all over again. I hope this stays. And I find a job soon enough, I really don't want to spend time giving interviews and killing my time table with something which so irrelevant. I think the next few weeks are go'no test my management skill to the extreme. I must give it my best and imagine everyday to be a new war which i must win.
