Oh Ho~! Love Working Under Pressure~!
NOT.
I finally finished my lovely marketing assignment though. Three pages, doubled-spaced, 10.5 Times New Roman (because it got too long using size 11 font T_T, I wish there's a 10.75 size for word *sighs*). But I finally finished it and so there. Now, I have Japanese to do, and three weeks of sociology reading to catch up on ^,^ It will be four weeks to catch up on next week ^,^ I have a marketing midterm next Wednesday =.= and we are going to be assigned to our presentation groups either today or Monday. Oh, I hate 100 point assignments, that's such a bulk of pressure I don't want to have T___T. On a better note, I got a gist of what auditing means on Monday from my accounting professor. You know, I have no idea why I'm doing accounting, I just am. According to my marketing professor -- while watching this really interesting video Monday -- those in my generation, generally don't really know what they're doing, because we spend a great deal of time trying to conform and please others, rather than to become complete individuals with our own way of seeing things. Despite saying that we are our own persons, we can't help, but want to make a good impression and stay in others favors and that's how those in my generation act. Interesting, it really is, because that relates to how we don't really have as much ambition as those in the generation before us. As long as we participate, we would get a pat on the back for it. Everything nowadays is about being part of a group, working as part of a group, and if you so as much say a word during a group presentation, oh that's contribution, you deserve a pat on the back, good job. (So... the smart, ambitious people always get stuck with the "I don't wanna work, you do it" sort of people, but they all get the same grade). We come out feeling that it doesn't really matter as long as we do the minimum amount. I think college is what made that happen to me. Doesn't matter what grade it is, as long as it is above average =,=; It's sad, but some of us really don't have much internal direction sometimes. We grow up with our parents directing us how to do things, how to act, how to live, and when we want things, most of the time we get them, so we treat life outside of that environment in almost the same way. So when we first start a job and such, we expect to be praised when we complete a small task or something. We want instant gratification. Real world doesn't work that way and so we become jittery. I mean, when is the last time you made a phone call to a friend, they didn't pick up and you called them "stupid" just for saying's sake? Did not receive that instant "pick-up and chat" so immediately, our mood becomes somewhat sour, because we did not get what we wanted. I learned all of this from my marketing class, it's so fascinating *___* Oh shit, I just spent too much time rambling about stuff that kinda went off tangent. Japanese homework now! 38 minutes till class starts T____T
