Depressurizer?

Yes it is in English.

I am writing my first post in English. It sounds odd but I think I have to practice this.

Well, for this semester, my life is occupied by countless assignments, tests and term papers. Everybody is complaining about that, of cuz i am not the exception.

After calculation, my free time is really shrinked up to only 20% after deducting 8 hours for sleeping, 4 hours for eating, resting, bath & housekeeping, 4 hours lecture in average (28 divided by 7), 4 hours for assignments and study, and the remaining 4 hours spared for free time.

It does not means that I really study for 4 hours. In fact the efficiency is very low. Merely complete the task which others use only 1 hour to complete it.

One of my friends complained to me, very pressured because feel very hard to catch up and the schedule is fulled with tests and assignments. Frankly, I am far left behind than anyone else. I slept in the class, copied 'bulat-bulat' the assignments, not even starting my revision although 3 tests are coming soon.

Sometimes I really feel that, is it tests are so important in my life? They're merely meaningless figures sometimes. Yes I do agree with those doing everything in a serious manner and proper way, I still need to improve myself and learn from them. But what I want to express is, in fact, I do not like tests!! I like to study, because knowledge is useful and interesting. But what the heck this stupid system judging us with those figures??? Furthermore, there are some tests purely MEMORIZING. I don't see majority of the engineers need to memorize those things to perform their daily jobs. We are not lawyers. Zzzzz.

I am not saying that all tests are nonsense. These are good exercises and challenges for us, but why are we so care about the marks? Since we were bornt in this land, we had been educated to score, to score, and to score higher, higher, and higher marks. I feel frustrated when I have to attend tests and exams which will be marked and compared with others. Ya I know they may say that without judging us through this, how are they going to differentiate good students among all of us?

Well, what I want to suggest is, please cancel all the tests. I would prefer to replace all the tests with assignments and special tasks. Some assignments are fun and interesting, and I will feel happy and work hard on my assignments with the condition that -- ZERO TESTS.

I can understand why my friend feel so dreadful. Somehow, I had undergoes certain metamorphosis (Frankz Kafka's bug with numerous legs?), to accustom this kind of life.

Depressurizer? No. Not even pressurized.

I'm inerted.

Cause being evacuated.

LOL.

To my fussy friend, be happy, don't worry!

Why Am I so free to write these things? Darn! Lets go for Plant safety and Environmental Engineering! Memorizing!
