page 7: passion or necessity?

mused @ 12:20 AM
just returned from the hall one investiture a couple of hours back where i am writing an article about it. i didn't go for the hall camp, so i didn't know anyone there.
i don't understand why people 'sell their souls to the devil (the devil that is the hall)' (quoting what i told liyana) but thats a very biased view i suppose, never involved myself in the hall. but i think its the same as us, communication studies students.
unlike some business and engineering students, those here in the famed wkwsci are people who roughly know what they want in the future careers. we are here by choice, not accident. we all had to pass an interview and a written test. when you wrote down sci on the application form, you knew what you had in mind.
on the flip side, we have people who go overseas for scholarships, taking law, business, economics, international relations in the world's best universities. they did well for their exams and hence are duly rewarded, although they have a bond to pay back at the end. it is a privilege to go to best, but is the scholarship a price they pay? are they really interested in bio mechanics? physics? organic chemistry?
some of them do have passion. but of the rest? we probably will never know. is it more for making it in life: a necessity?
its 2am. and it a warm evening. and i can't think any more.
