The same old question

Yesterday a meteorite crashed straight into my home. All burned and fatigued, glowing with it's last energy. That meteorite was me. And indeed, I was pissed and plagued with some kind of "ah screw it" kind of attitude. I'll tell you, stay out may sound good, but it's not as good as it sounds. In fact, it's bad.

Instructors seem to always like to play with your time. They have everything to threaten you with. Threaten to confine you till nine, threaten to have extra training, make you do your homework until late hours. Trust me, I don't like going home at nine because it takes about an hour to get home. And guess what, I have to get up early again next morning to go back to the same freaking place. What a lie about 8-5 work. An average day is until 6 and most days are plagued with night training until 9-10. How wonderful.

I tell you. Yesterday I reached home at 1900hrs. and I had 350 questions of highway code theory to do. And you know what. I'm intending to copy them all. I was just so pissed because they had to cancel our driving simulation lesson and chuck it on Saturday. Its so convenient for them! It's so easy for them to say. Do you think we people serving NS have no commitments outside? The answer is no, we still do, but they expect us not to have any.

I know driving is good. Getting a license is good. But to me, maybe it's just an illusion. Even if I get to drive a car around. How often would that be. Right now, maybe on weekends. It's just an over glorified cheap thrill. People like to feel mighty, they like to feel they have the freedom over something. (in this case, the road, and the vehicle). they like to feel as if they can teleport from point A to point B. It's an adult thing anyway. Maybe they like to feel adult. Why do most people go all out for a driving license the moment the gate of time opens up for them? I cannot understand.

Anyway it's supposed to be cool. And I'm thinking that it's useful. (Not as if I feel it really is.)

I have to wash up soon and get ready for my 1 hour adventure into a foreign land.

If all things goes well, I'll be having my rest tonight. If not, probably I'll be wandering home in the darkness.
