Oh and I thought my finals week was stressful. Names have been changed or left out for the protection of the innoncent.
****: so you know how i had that presentation with that girl and its been a huge pain in my ass?
****: with the 400 surveys and her not telling me anything etc etc etc
eiregirl10: what? you've never told me about this
****: what?
eiregirl10: yea thats what I said
****: are you kidding me?
eiregirl10: no
****: aaaaaaaaaah ok ill try to give you the readers digest version but im bad at that
eiregirl10: I think my complaints have been dominating our convos lately so that might be why
eiregirl10: lol
****: eh usually i dominate bc i dont shut up so its ok
****: haha
eiregirl10: onto the R D version
****: yes
****: so we had to do presentations in partners (or by ourselves if we wanted) for comm society class
****: and theres this girl in my class who is nice and i get along with pretty well so we decided to work together
****: and we were gonna do it on the effect of celebrities on the votes of young adults for the 2004 presidential election
eiregirl10: lol pdiddy
eiregirl10: sorry
**** : exactly
****: so we decided we wanted to do a survey and i made it out bc she sucks at making surveys
****: but she insisted on handing them all out herself. like she wouldnt let me help. at all.
****: so i was like, fine let me analyze them
****: mainly bc she sucks at math
****: SO
****: a week later she comes to class and hands me a huge stack of papers
****: and shes like, here, there are 400, bc there are 4000 undergrads
****: and i was like WHAT?!
****: and so i was just like, fine, give them to me and ill analyze
eiregirl10: oh my
****: so i spent literally an hour and a half per question, seven questions
eiregirl10: holy cow
****: turns out there were only 350 and i told her bc i didnt want her saying in the presentation that we surveyed 400 when we didnt
****: and she was like then we better get the other 50
****: and i was like NO THATS NOT THE POINT OF A SURVEY!
****: (ack shes an idiot)
eiregirl10: sound like it
eiregirl10: *sounds rather
****: so the process continues and she kept saying how much stuff she was finding and how much work she was doing and BLAH BLAH BLAH
****: but she wouldnt let me see any of it
eiregirl10: what?
eiregirl10: how do you have a partnership?
****: so the other day we got together to go over the presentation and everything on the ghetto powerpoint she made (she doesnt have powerpoint she has some lameass fake thing she downloaded...but she HAD to do the powerpoint i couldnt do it)
****: anyway everything she had on it was stuff i had found
eiregirl10: hmm
eiregirl10: so where was all her great info
****: and then she insisted on presenting all that and me presenting the survey results and i was like wtf that means i dont present anything
****: i have no idea
****: and she was like no youre doing survey results
****: but it was easier to not fight so i was like FINE WHATEVER
****: so we were supposed to present a week ago but her program wasnt working so we had to postpone until tmrw
eiregirl10: oh dear lord
****: but i ran into the prof yesterday
****: heres where it gets good
eiregirl10: oOO
****: and hes like, oh have you talked to *your partner* recently?
****: and i was like, uh...no?
****: should i have?
****: and he's like, you mean she hasnt contacted you?
****: and i was like ok what is going on that you arent telling me
****: and he says, do you have a minute?
****: and i say: uh.....ok.....
****: thinking: oh shit.
****: apparently colin (the prof) got an email telling him that this girl has been hospitalized bc shes mentally unstable and that he's supposed to give her an incomplete for the semester
****: so he says: i guess youll just have to present by yourself
****: i say: i CANT! she insisted on keeping everything on her computer so i dont have anything.
****: like she wouldnt even email me it
****: so i cant present without her computer.
****: and hes like: oh. i see.
****: so NOW i have to write a 2-3 page paper on what we WOULD have presented, which just sucks bc its more work that i have to do, and ive probably done more than anyone in that class as it is
my poor dear ****. I'm sorry for this awful turn of events. As you read this remember that although your finals week is probably pretty darn bad, this person's is worse. good luck with whatever y'all have left. Me, I only have two, thank goodness, so I'll be out of here on friday afternoon (woot). adios
