Education is expensive. I'm doing my assignment right now, and it requires multiple journals. I don't normally search for journals because I used to just aim for a satisfactory mark. But this semester, I'm aiming higher. And to aim high, there's a price to pay. There's this journal that I found, it would have been really helpful had i got that journal because it deals, specifically with what I'm writing my assignment on; resource based view. Well, the problem is, the damn journal costs US$ 29.95. That much for a journal. That much for a potential High Distinction. Worth it? Yeah, probably. But I'm only going to ever use it once. So worth it? No. Even for a High Distinction. No. And it's in US$. Times that with, ermm, 4 maybe and that's how much it cost when you convert it to RM.

That whole paragraph up there, that's merely a quarter of what I have in my mind about charging such higher prices for journals. Monash education. Wow. It's freaking Monash. Wow. It costs a lot to study in Monash. And guess what, in my opinion, we're just buying the name. Wherever we study, it doesn't really make a difference. What matters to me is how we study. I've been in Monash for a year plus now and I can honestly tell you that, half of what I learn from here is from self study. Yeah, the lecturers do help once in a while but we're paying RM13 odd thousands to study here. The least they could do is provide some guidance. I'm not expecting them to spoon feed me with knowledge or anything I just want a little bit of guidance. How to do this and that. Provide fucking free journals for god's sake. And when we can't find the journal's, what do we get? We merely pass the freaking course. Perfect. Education is expensive!

P.S.: I'm being totally not myself by this post because assignments are killing me. I think I've told the whole world about when my assignments are due. A couple of posts below I said assignments are good. Yeah, they're good when you don't do it last minute. Now, I've every single information jammed in my head. I can't think. I need comfort. I can't wait to pass up all my assignments. Then I ONLY have to focus on finals (I'm being sarcastic by the way). And spend time with my girlfriend; the only reason I remain sane. :)
