grump grump grump i! will! prevail!
Sitting in a tucked away corner in the library by myself and a whole lot of stuff. the girls who had been opposite me are now gone so it's nice and quiet. it's always nice and quiet in the library in the later part of the semester, which i enjoy. but i also find it slightly depressing to see cars filled with stuff leaving dunedin for the summer. and people pulling stuff and boxes out of flats. and more and more power points free in the library.
this semester i was so uninspired for my assignments. i only enjoyed writing one, and that one i think doesn't really fit the assessment outline. another one i rewrote in 3 hours in a burst of rage about my stupid lecturer who goes on and on about "don't use references from the internet, i'm biased against wikipedia etc..." and where are his references in the lectures from? #@$%$ internet @#$@ of course!!! this is my latest pet peeve. people who 1) are hypocrites about internet sources 2) are ignorant or lazy or slack about referencing. and about this i mean lecturers who reference this and that person (1965) or whatever, and i know for certain they never read the original document. because the document is like unpublished!!!! so how can you reference it? they have obviously read about so and so's theory in some other person's book, so reference that! SO ANNOYING! for this assignment i decided to get to the very root of the source, a certain Tuckman (1965). had to recall the book out from storage but i have it, the psychological bulletin from that year. and i'm sure NONE of the lecturers who throw this reference around have EVER read the actual article.
i'm sure lots of people just reference "so and so's lecture slides", which is to me sloppy, plus the lecturers are also (hypocritically again) always going on about "check your source! is it valid? is it reliable? primary source vs wikipedia etc etc...."
*rage*
and i'm whiny cos i have TWO very similar assignments about groups.
oh but it's turned out warm so i'm happy about that. and we did a mystery shop on a flash car just now so that was fun doing the test drive. and we get $70 for it! not bad for driving around in a flash sports car!
so my life has its redeeming features. well i know i have a great life. i'm just grumpy due to this assignment, so all the more i must finish it by hook or by crook, whatever that means. my poor man is taking much grumpiness from me these few weeks!
