Thesis = FAIL

Mar 28, 2008 19:19

I won't be graduating in June. My pristine academic records have gone to hell. I'll be extending a term. And no, I don't make jokes like this.

Backstory: Easter Sunday
Imagine this: I gave my thesismate a list of things to research on for the holy week to cover up the gaping holes of our thesis. Thursday came and he said he already sent them to my e- ( Read more... )

Aww, Joy Ann. I want to give you a hug. Maybe I should have told you all my sordid tales about your groupmate before you decided to take him under your wing :/ I wish I had. I wish I was able to warn you and tell you that the other group's decision was right. I've had many encounters (ok, two) with thesismate and both experiences still makes my blood boil so much. Saying that he's a spineless, useless git wouldn't even begin to cover it. Both times he freeloaded and the second time I attempted a taray effect he was all "you're hurting my feelings" and shit. I wanted to scream "f*ck your feelings, I'm not failing because of you, worthless twat." He can decieve the best of us. Its shocking to me that people like that are existing. We're in freaking college, anu to highschool? Nakiki-freeride ka? Its your freaking thesis-the culmination of four hard, long years and you don't give shit about it? Parang, hello? Its like one of Miggi's groupmates who escapes with a 2.5, life is just unfair ( ... )

Aww, Joan, it's OK. :) Virtual hugs accepted and returned much tighter - oof!

I had a lot more wishes and regrets this term. That I didn't smack him upside the head to insert sense and responsibility is one. I think I've really been just so foolish to expect from him because he was better in contacting companies and working on stuff as he did in Siemens. Ah well, should've avoided everything slimy from Siemens then, haha. For that, I think I deserved it.

Don't blame yourself, nor should a whole block or half an org blame themselves because I didn't know any better. I think it's enough that I worry and work on it than a few dozen people.

Karma na lang. I bet sloths get their harder because they're used to easy. And my new battle cry is VINDICATE, as quoted from my H.S. friends when he heard about it.

Thanks!
