I hate leeches
Hrm? What am I talking about here?
Yes, I could be talking about torrents. Very true. The Chinese site I use to download my Taiwanese tv shows are all filled with leeches. I was downloading one show that came out only 3 days earlier. It was already down to 4 seeders. I mean, c'mon!! It's not like there aren't people downloading. There are HUNDREDS that were downloading and had finished. But no. Nobody wanted to seed. I'm a better person than that and I actually seed stuff that's months old.
Yes. I don't like leechers. But I'm not talking about torrents today.
I'm talking about leechers in a group project.
I just finished going through HELL for the past two and a half weeks. For my chem lab project, I had to work in groups of four, but since there was an odd number of people in my class, I decided to work in the group of three. Now, I will say that we were allowed to choose our groups and I ended up working with these two guys cuz they were the only people I knew. Let's call one David and the other Anthony.
DAVID IS SUCH A LEECH. The ENTIRE PROJECT, it was just me and Anthony pulling us along. Anthony and I stayed up so many extra nights working on the procedure, working on questions, working on the powerpoint, working out calculations, working on the final report. I mean, I was so stressed to the point that I wanted to strangle someone. On the day that we were supposed to present all our materials, Anthony pulled an all-nighter trying to work out the calculations while I worked on the powerpoint. I got some sleep, but ultimately, I didn't get that much because I knew that we wouldn't be able to figure out the calculations. We had data, but we couldn't figure out how to make them turn out the numbers that we were looking for. So I go to class and I said to David, "We're screwed."
David, " What? Why??"
OH C'MON. I EMAILED YOU THE NIGHT BEFORE SAYING THAT WE WERE HAVING TROUBLE. YOU ALREADY DIDN"T CARE ENOUGH ABOUT THE REST OF THE PROJECT, BUT CAN YOU PLEASE CARE ABOUT IT AT THIS CRUCIAL MOMENT??? If I were him, I would have been fussing over it. BUT NO. HE DIDN"T FEEL THE NEED TO CALL US TO SEE IF HE COULD HELP. HE WASN"T EVEN ONLINE THE NIGHT BEFORE. HE WAS AT HIS AUNT'S HOUSE. Basically, HE MADE US DO EVERYTHING.
Oh. It gets even better.
So for our final, a lot of the concepts that were used for the project was gonna show up on the final right? Yeah. So the night before the final, he calls me: "Lillian, I don't get this. Teach me." OH PLEASE. DO YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO TEACH YOU STUFF AFTER YOU TOTALLY DITCHED US? IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT YOU NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING ON. YOUR FAULT. DON'T SAY THAT WE DIDN"T GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO HELP, CUZ WE DID.
Yeah. So the project went okay....but it overall affected my grade. I ended up getting a B.
I really hope that he got that or lower. Because if he got anything above that, HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT.
So I was talking to Anthony today during lunch about David's lack of help. "Yeah, I expected it. What? Did you expect him to actually do anything? I knew from the start that it was just gonna be the two of us." -____-'' Yes. I expect you to work if you're in a group. This is how it works. It's called a TEAM.
GOSH. I HATE LEECHERS.
