After learning a new photography technique from Jon C today, I went on a photo-shoot around school. I am not determined to compile a series of photos of beautiful places in ACJC that were never appreciated or discovered. While this new dreams formulated, my old one died. It has become apparent that my long-dreamed (and scripted) arts movie would never take flight. Time is not a limiting factor and neither is inspiration. Unlike before, I feel the surging passion within me to create and to mould. Yet, the current circumstances have caused a serious reconsideration on my part:

Is human nature not a most interesting thing? With less than 2 months to A level, isn't it interesting how certain people still continue to skip school and avoid lessons? They brave their courage in the heart of danger, perhaps confident on their stupendous intellectual capacity to compensate for the lost lectures (which are still TEACHing, not revising). Confidently, they dissappear from the view, perhaps scheming out their academically-perfect plans in the comforts of their closets. However, when a single adult man steps in and threatens his authority, they all break into panic. They scurry their pens to compose letters of excuse, replacing symptoms of hangovers with that of flu, replacing late mornings with fever. They scurry to our form teacher (their source of comfort) in hopes of erasing the evidences of their 'pon'age. I therefore come to a thesis.

These people do not fear the dissappointment and the loss of opportunities. Instead, they fear punishment of DC. Ironic eh? I am confused whether to be worried over my friends or amused by the irony. Is it not interesting?.
