why oxford?
cuz things here get so prettily screwed up that you screw yourself up with one-nighters, hang-overs, or get some coffee or coke or speed or something. or you go out dancing the night away, till your legs ache, till you stumble back to your room flop on the bed and miss the next morning's lectures.
cuz i like writing essays about whether the state should restrict offensive speech. and just to make a point, i can say fuck as many times i want, or at least that's the way i am going to argue it. i can't, of course, say fuck ________ (insert noun)because it will diminish their self-worth, but fuck alone is all right. (the key to this is to say the word, and then think the rest you see. then you're not culpable for anything)
i am sick and tired of churning out essays to meet datelines. i also am sorely tempted to turn my entry into an exercise in swearing, because i really believe in what i am writing about! never mind it won't make a difference to the world, never mind it will not change the fact that singapore is ranked 2 out of a possible range of 1-10 in terms of being a democratic country. (guess which is the highest possible score?) as long as i get it in by -- when is my next tute again? oh no you don't mean monday do you?
don't get me wrong now, i like being forced to use my brains. i also like sleeping little, watching no tv, gutting books, skimming through enid blyton asking myself what is the damn argument? i like thinking of the world as solely gray, i like questioning my bloody existence, because you know -- i am doing ppe after all. i also like speaking in this british accent -- it gets you better service in singapore, believe me. and of course not being able to speak fluently in my mother tongue anymore, despite listening (only recently admittedly) to only chinese songs.
8 weeks in oxford is quite the limit for me i think. if i think this term is bad, wait till next term. 3 essays a week -- should be a breeze i'm sure. just one on general philosophy (am i sure i am sitting in my chair typing or am i just dreaming it or dreaming that i am dreaming it?) just one on comparative government and of course how could i forget economics, with the healthy double dose of maths and realism?
i'm really not surprised that 6.5% of the students in oxford take drugs.
