Day 104
I'm just so angry today but I need to get my rant off my chest! It's literally been stewing inside me for so long and I feel unhappy all the time.
So I'm going to get it off my chest and then move on.
I've always believed that if I want something, I have to work for it. Free-loading has never been a word in my dictionary.
I had a short chat with a friend who told me he finally had a project this sem where he didn't have to take the lead and he was so thankful.

And I thought, "wow he's so lucky. I wish I had such a scenario too."
Why is it that when someone in the group clearly cares about the work done, the rest of the group finds it as an excuse to simply not do any work?
Exhibit 1: I wrote the points in point form and asked Group Member to turn it into a slide and make a script.
He basically took my points, put connectors and full stops and called it a script. I had 3 points so his script had 3 sentences.
Please... This is university.

So I rewrote it. Elaborated and gave reasons for the points. I wrote 900 words in total. More than 3 times his original script.
And please if someone took the effort to redo your slipshod work, at least have the decency not to complain that it's too long. Or do something about it when you say it's too long.
Exhibit 2: don't play the "I have too many exams" card as an excuse for not doing your work when we all know you were in HK this weekend having fun.

I really want to know why it takes my friend to say "guys I know you're busy but please try to put your scripts in today as it's due today" before anybody bothered to respond.
You're busy, we're busy. Please don't assume we want to do this work any more than you do.
Everyone gets the same mark in the group.
At times like this I always question why I work so hard to give someone good grades. I tell myself it's for my own good.
But it's getting harder and harder to believe that.

My Sustain prof also thought it would be a good idea to drag our lessons today by one hour simply because he needed a break in between and people couldn't be bothered to stick to the time limit for their presentations.
And now my groupmate has done her script (two days later than the timeline we set) and she claims its 4-5 minutes long when she's only doing the smallest part, the intro. (Total 20 min, 5 people).
You know what? Hand me a knife. I don't think this day could get any worse.
