The "Warzone"

Sigh...exams are next week...and ironically, many of us would be calling it a 'warzone' out there. Contrary to popular belief...the Library is NOT a good place to go to (if One is the kind who gets all-jittery and nervous when faced with a sea of strange tufts of hair (faces being bowed ever-so-dilligently before once-dreaded-now-sacred tomes of academic knowledge).
What's with this use of military and war-like symbolism? Doesn't anyone know that its 'evil' to go fight for one's selfish gain? (haha...yeah...we all know where the counter will come from...that which would go on to say: "well, that's where the Crusades came from eh? All 'holy-holy', and "for King and Country", and the likes yeah?"
Haha...ah well. Resignation, and contempt is in me now. Resignation...to the fact that results will be determined by a two-hour paper I sit through - whether done good or not-so-good (I do not want to use the word "B**"...lest I provoke some animistic spirit which will then take this opportune moment to strike my sanity...and all the knowledge I've crammed into my poor brain...out the window.
Contempt is reserved for those people whom my friends have heard me whinge about. (Usually I do not include transcripts in my blog...but today, I just had to make an exception) YES...I allude to the PLA...and Indian Army below, in the following transcript of a conversation I just had with Daniel. You figure out the rest:
