'if you're failing to plan, you're planning to fail'

i remember seeing this in the ij organiser, and the reason i remember it is because i scoffed at that statement. and to be honest, i don't now.

i think coming up with plans now is actually quite a good idea. like how planning helped me last year just before the As. although i'm not the kind that would religiously follow a plan, but it helps because by planning i know the amount of stuff that i've not done!

and so i have to make sure i complete them, whether i sleep less, or watch less tv (though this is highly unlikely cos i watch very little tv already), by hook or by crook, because i feel that i owe my plan all those work. it's quite an odd way of saying it, i owe someTHING something, must be my madness is personification. or maybe i put it in another way, i feel i owe myself - the one who planned my plan and allocator of the work, something.

irregardless of the logic behind it, this plan thing actually works because of one fundamental reason. i am aware of my plan and there is this desire to follow it, for i know my whole academic life would be in shambles if i do not, for one basic fact - i am a person, if not given a plan, would just waste my time, idling away.

i went for organic chem lect today. hooray! for me the whole point of going for lects isn't so that i don't need to study outside of lects (cos i'm not that smart), but it's because going to lects leave an impression. meaning when i read my notes, i will feel that all the stuff isn't foreign. so even if i do not follow the entire lect intensely, at least i can vaguely recall that 'hey you familiar mechanism or molecule!'.
