– overpriced ice cream.
because that connotes it’s worth does not level or surpass it’s price.
worth is what you expect the commodity to give you – in this case pleasure (i mean – c’mon. ice cream, people.) ICE CREAM (except in the case of a foul tasting shitpile of Wasabi ice cream Celine forced me to buy [$3!]) HAS NEVER LET ME DOWN. the pleasure i derive from ice cream is roughly equivalent to $9.75/reasonably sized scoop sans topping/other wonderful edible accessories. and since ice cream in Singapore is mostly below that, i’ve always been eating cheap ice-cream. YES, hotdamn.
i just really want ice cream waffles now, so.
and yes i have been eating ice cream every day. without waffles.
there was Soft serve in plastic cups, mini-Magnums on stick, Venezia on cones, Baskin-Robbins in recyclables, Haagen-Dazs in tubs. BUT WAFFLES. WAFFLES. the ultimate combination.
yeah ok.
so if you’re one of those people, you’re here to check for mentions of my results. unfortunately i don’t and won’t post them up in full, but here are some tantalizing hints you nosy thing:
1. i’m grateful for them, because they make the cut for the few courses i’ve had in mind all along. all local.
2. they’re not fantastic though. not straight As if that’s what you’re thinking about.
3. they were better than i expected. although my expectations were warped after the nightmare i had of getting three Cs, one A, a B and a couple Us. it was very strange.
4. in fact i’m happy for everything except Econs. i really, really wanted that A. not for Lit, not for History, (and we can skip Math) but Econs. and after prelims i thought i could. i hate it when people get upset over a decent grade, but now i sort of-ish get why they feel that.
5. thank you God. no, really. not good enough to worry about the insane range of options, not bad enough to be limited in any way.
also i found that i don’t care much about grades as grades. it’s more of where i can go from here. so anyway, i’ll be going around to all University food places for taste tests.. i’ll have a good time with the one in town.
if i had no filial duties or expectations to fulfill, i will. WILL. drop school now, rent a caravan and travel everywhere doing just enough freelance to feed myself. this is a completely true story. but, you know. life.
oh! starting work at RWS in a few, with Rei and Celine. free entry to USS, wootz. kindly be torn up with jealousy.
