Lab Reports

I hate doing lab reports.

Actually, strictly speaking, that is an understatement. I totally see no sense in doing lab report at all when the marker will not probably even bother to read your lab report.

In a way, this is so analogous to unrequitted love. Putting in so much effort when it simply is not worth it at all. In process dynamics, one learnt that it is always best to have optimal gain for minimal effort. It is so ironic that the dept which taught us that are having such a stupid system here.

Of cos, one can opt to go for little effort. But for an academically inclined person who takes the very minimal of pride in his work, it is imperative that he puts in effort in his work. And from here arise the number 1 rule of education: he who works hard, seldom gets the grades and justification he needs to continue working hard.

Ah, and so i am here, slacking away at the lesson....
