Frustrations

A man without sleep is an angry man. Sigh.
Last night's tech run was horribly long and slow and in my opininons rather unproductive. And after one whole night of run it was announced that the event cannot be held in the takraw court anymore as residents of the neighbouring Kuok Foundation House lodged a complain. That could mean one whole night of work is wasted. Tech run finished at 12 and dismantling our equipments took another hour. In the end I finally get to start working on my critique paper at 1.30am. The paper is actually due today, but my tutor decided that she can wait until Friday (since technically the deadline is the end of this week) but in a wild attempt to get into her good books I decided to sacrifice my sleep and finish my work. Ended up sleeping at 3.40am and waking up at 7.40am (I woke up at 7 and fell asleep again), 20 minutes before my lecture. Wahh... In the end, I didnt submit it yet because I suddenly thought that quality of the writing should be more important. And I didnt want to rush things. (update: handed in without additional edits) But on the other hand the position paper was horribly slow in progress. The other 5 groups have at least came up with some proper form of presentation while our group had a hastily prepared word document. One member did a lot of research, but didnt do anything to refine it. Another one had a skimpy research. And I didnt do anything. The member-who-did-work (MWDW) was kind of pissed off and had he been any closer to me and member-who-did-skimpy work (MWDSW) (we are still strangers to each other) we would have been blown off. Fine. I was wrong for not doing my part, apologies for that. Still it doesnt mean I wont do it, in fact I wanted to do it today after handing in my critique. But save my breath, he is probably too egoistic to listen to what we say anyway. MWDW insisted that we don't know anything about the topic and didn't bother to find out more. Sigh. Probably he was having a frustrating day as well because according to him he was reading about this until 2am. (Well, I still win, I did my work until almost 4). And so smart of MWDSW to leave immediately after class leaving me to face MWDW alone. I can foresee problems working with such people already. I even have doubts on how far we can get if we continue on the topic, which he apparently have not seen the difficulties and was still happily thinking that everything can be found online, and ignoring my point on this issue. Whatever. Sigh..final edits, hand in the paper and I can go get my nap. Sienzz. |
