okay, so in my chem lab, i'm forced to work with 3 other people. after the lab experiment is done, we're supposed to write a lab report. the first time, we all met and got in done in good time. the second time (last week), the smartest guy in our group decides to covet the rest of our time and say that we're going to get started on the report that night. now a) i don't like people making decisions for me w/o my input, especially people i don't know. b) by the time lab is over (8:30), i've approximately been at school for over 10 hours. and i'm not going to, especially for some entry level chem class, stay late after a 10 hour day of ridiculousness to do the report.
now, it's hard for us to meet b/c the other guys have jobs, etc., but i dont' see the problem with assigning sections and doing them on our own, then putting it all together. but no, the smartest guy, aka, the jerk, wants us tp be all together. so, last week, me and another guy couldn't stay late, so the jerk and the other guy stayed after to do some of the lab, and ended up working until about midnight, which is ridiculous. so on friday, me and the other guy met up to finish the rest (though there wasn't much to finish).
so today in lab, the t.a. comes to our group and says that 'someone' has complained about unequal work distribution and if we dont' find a way to fix it, our grades will suffer...that's right, the fucking ass tattled on us! for no reason! it's not my damn fault that i won't allow you to covet my time, and it's not my fault it's hard for us to get together. and to make matters worse, even when we were all together, he still tried to do all the work himself. and no on told him to do 3 damn hours of lab work last week, anyway. and the fucking t.a. sides with him, and didn't even give the rest of us a chance to even begin to explain what the circumstances were.
so all in all, lab's gonna suck now (more than usually), b/c mr. i'm a big, fat douche will tattle on us every time we do something wrong. so, way to be an adult....in college...and understanding how to be a productive member, NOT whiny baby, when forced into a group situation. ugh!
okay, so that's enough of my rant. sorry if it took you by surprise (especially those random curses sprinkled throughout). some things, though, you just gotta blog about. thanks for listening...or reading...or skimming in general.
night.
