what the hell?
This wonderful little week has consisted of:
-a neuroscience exam on Wednesday
-a neuroscience online exam due by Thursday at 5pm
-an entire burn care packet to research and fill out
-a group project(template) on burn care due on Friday which is very time consuming
-my 19yr old cousin got into a car wreck and is currently paralyzed from the waist down. They suspect that his spinal cord was severed
-Caitlynn was put under Wed. morning to get multiple bo-tox shots to hopefully help with some of the musculature problems she has due to her mother being a dumbass
-a voicemail from my mom tonight informing me that she and my great aunt are okay despite a tornado going through their town. Apparently, most of the town is blacked out and my great aunt's place was one of the few that had power. Still haven't been able to get in touch with anyone tonight.
-one of my group members being a complete retard and just sucking things up in general
-my research advisor giving us a shitload of extra work to complete during this already lovely week because he's been slacking all semester and now it's our fault
Still to do:
-finish up the burn care group project
-study for the Medical Conditions test I have on Tuesday
-prepare for next week's neuroscience online exam
-work friday and saturday night this weekend
So, I was more mad today than I can remember being in a very long time. Today during class we were given from 1-3 to work on our burn template as a group. We get this allotted class time EVERY SINGLE TIME we have a group template due and EVERY SINGLE TIME we all leave for lunch at noon and meet back in the classroom at 1 where we work on our template. Other groups usually meet elsewhere but EVERY SINGLE TIME we have the same routine. I bring my laptop to school, we use it in our classroom and work on the template....EVERY SINGLE TIME. This week, though, we had the online neuroscience test thrown into the mix. It was due by 5pm tonight. We had class all morning and group meeting time during the afternoon until atleast 3pm. 5 of our 6 group members actually have a freaking clue about how reality works so we all got the quiz over with the last night because we knew that our schedule would be tight today. One special person, who has been a sub par group member this entire semester didn't take her quiz yesterday and was distinctly not in the classroom at 1pm to work on our product. We decide to come to my house to work on it just to have different scenery and to get the hell out of the building because of the bullshit with our research advisor. I leave a note for the special person to call me cause her cell is in the classroom and Christina finds her in the computer lab before leaving for my house.....where she had just started her HOUR LONG neuro quiz....it was already 15 minutes into our set aside group meeting time. WHAT THE FUCK? So, she walks into my house an hour and a half late to the group meeting and doesn't say a word about why she's late....she tries to just jump in on the part that another member and I are working on because she was supposed to help out on that part originally. She starts giving input about stuff we had done 45 minutes ago. I was pissed but very tactful and explained a couple vital details to her. We have to do peer assessments for every group member. We were given them today and they're due Monday and I'm talking to her before class tomorrow and informing her of what to expect from me despite the fact that they'll be confidential. I can't put into words how mad I was today.. Our group has carried her this entire time. She has a solid, high A on all the group work activities from her minimal work. I mean, seriously, get a fucking clue. And in all honesty, I'm kind of glad that she pulled that crap today because the online quiz that she took...our professor for that class can log in and see what time you started the quiz and when you submitted it...we now have indisputable proof that she's a fucking dumbass with no regard for our group. I suppose I'd be less, are you fucking serious?, is this were the first occurrence. There's been numerous instances all semester.
Things will be okay though. I've just got to survive one more week of sucktitude. If I'm able to get off work next Friday, Beth is coming to see me :-) And then October 27th, the Skirts are coming back into town and Eva (and possible Paul) is driving down to see them with me. Happiness :-)
