LAILA J. GUESTBLOGS!

exam neurosis: right now my brain is numb

I want to be a BOBO. That's right, a BOBO. A Bourgeois Bohemian [laila's word of the day], so that i'll be able to quit school, sit on whatever education I have, slack around the whole day and write over-emo nonsensical poetry all day long. And the best part is that no one would say anything cause that's what BOBOs are supposed to do.

What a great plan!

What's the point in this whole paper chase madness anyway? Everyone's so obsessed over grades and marks over subjects they don't even give a hoot about. Everyone wants to be a doctor, without realising that there're less than 300 places in the local med school every year. And some deluded parents STILL think that learning the sciences is definitely better than indulging in the arts.

So do not say anything more about me being impractical, nonsensical and foolish for doing what I think is right. Yes, my subject combination is foolish. Yes, my idealogy is seemingly screwed, idealistic and unrealistic. Yes, I am not primarily motivated by monetary and material success. I am doomed a dreamer's life, forever chasing an illusion which won't ever materialize.

But whatever man, let me be the BOBO that I want to be.
