Talking about tests, I was watching 'Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?' just now. The contestant was this 21 year old dude from a college. And the show had a surprise for him, he gets another batch of people to cheat off from. Guess who were the other 5? His college buddies. It's like those typical American chick flick movies where you see the jocks greet one another with those massive, energetic, 'cool' hand shakes and high 10s. The first thing that came into my mind after watching them running in to the stage was - they're dumb. I mean seriously, your first impression of them would be they're probably dumb. And guess what, we're right. I don't know if we should blame the American tv programmes for creating this stereotype of jocks are dumb and influencing people to think that they are which would then lead to some of them actually behaving like this, not on purpose but somehow groomed to be like them. The first question, worth $1000 was, which direction does the sun rise from? The answer is East but apparently one of those college buddies put North. NORTH? A whole church should pray for that dude. He majors in some poly thingy. He's supposed to be smarter than a 5th grader with that level of question. There were several answers they put for other questions that you would say, "WTF?!". At the end of the show, they interviewed 2 of the kids to talk about the college students. They said the answers they gave for some of the questions were way out of topic. And one boy said, they didn't look smart. No offence.
On a different note, another season of American Idol is ending tomorrow at 8am, Malaysia timing. I want Kris Allen to win!!! I wouldn't be at all surprised if Adam Lambert were to get first runner up. But Kris is fantastic. I will buy his album. It doesnt matter if he wins or not actually, we all know he's good enough to make it this far and he will be recording an album anyway. So the title of American idol would only last for a few days and its just gone. Then its up to them to stay in this music industry. I must say, Kris's singing style reminds me alot of Jason Mraz's.
You know whats a good song to play after taking a shower in the morning while you're getting dressed, or when you wake up immediately from bed? Learning to Breathe by Switchfoot. Gosh, it's such an awesome song that it was stuc in my head, its intro kept on playing over and over again in my brain when I was doing my Econs paper. Not easy to concentrate on the paper when you have guitar playing at the back of your head. When I was writing the definition of Current Account Deficit when the song started playing. Then it continues playing even when I started writing on the next essay about some cicular flow model relating to the Sydney Olympic games 2000 which i think, by the way, i screwed up! After Econs, i thought by listening to the song would be satisfying. I didn't need it to run through my head during Maths. Oh but it did, even after i played the song at least 6 times during the two hour break in between the papers. I couldn't even remember how to integrate 'ln x'. Don't tell me, cause I don't wanna know. See, the song is so good that it makes you want to listen to it over and over again. Maybe it's just me. Because of Julius, I can't get my ITunes to stop playing it. It's on loop. Oh yeah. Sweet. =D
I need sleep. Im sleep deprived. I slept at 4.30am last night trying to do maths but in the end I didn't because I couldn't think anymore. Even though i had at least 2 cups of coffee, black coffee mind you. Off to bed.
Toodles with love,
