WHAT ! Please don't read the following rant.
FAR OUT ! WHAT THE HELL .
So I failed chemistry last semester right ? Yup a grand total of 34% . I was planning to do a bridging course at the start of 2009 , which I was told would take place in February (note, I received my results AFTER booking plane tickets for a holiday so I had no idea what my results would be). Conveniently , those places were you book plane tickets now make you pay like 6 months in advance or something, so to hell with them.
Guess what ? Bridging courses are from 5th Jan - 11th Feb. My holiday was booked from 2nd Jan - 30th Jan. Not only now do I lose money for cancelling a plane ticket , but the rest of my family now does not wanna go. It totally sucks balls cos I was really planning to go overseas and have fun before coming back to re-do CHEM1611.
There's ONE way out, and I'll only be able to use it if I don't fail any subjects this semester. I REALLY hope I don't. I was really worried about biology cos well ... I honestly couldn't do so much of the exam - but neither could a hell of a lot of other people, so I'm placing my best bet on being scaled. All the other subjects I think I did alright in, so ... it all comes down to bio. Well the thing is, this LEEWAY for me is to overload next semester and totally smash myself with 5 subjects (lol, hello 30hour week). The only way I'll be allowed to do so would be to not fail ANYTHING for the rest of the year. So now I'm sitting here in a semi-state of panic. I mean, I know I can't blame anyone else but myself, but I really do think that the incompetent dunce we had for a lecturer in chem last semester was the reason for the 30 or so fails (in comparison to 3-5 normally). When the number of fails increases by 5-fold, you know something's up. Urgh if it wasn't for that dickhead I wouldn't be wasting time doing a bridging course. Far out , talk about peeved.
So now I have two choices.
1. Apply to do bridging and lose money for plane tickets as well as paying extra for the bridging course itself.
2. Wait for my results to come out (which is after the bridging course deadline) then apply for that fucked-up whatever overload and put myself under risk of rejection and being held back an extra year.
The future is just so bleak for me right now.
As though testing my patience, I'm faced with a whole bunch of rude kids whenever I go onto forums or games to try and forget everything. You know what I really really hate? People who break down someone's entire opinion into fragments of sentences and analyse each one for grammatical errors, as though it somehow makes them seem more witty. I'm so fucking sick of flamers acting as though spotting a bleedingly obvious typo "teh" suddenly makes their argument look legit and eloquently written. Get the hell out of your little bubble. Finding stupid things like typos as opposed to the person's flawed views doesn't make you look smarter in the slightest. Totally just looks like you've been forced into a corner and just can't accept that you've been smashed.
Then there are the few 'oldies' (as in, our age or a little older) who parade around the forums acting as though they know more than everyone. There's one guy on a maplestory forum who I can't stand. He's a computing student from assholeville, and each time he replies to someone, you can't help but wanna just slam a frypan into his face. Let's make an example.
Student 1 : "Hi I'm still confused about the whole scaling system. How do they calculate teh UAI from our aggregate scores?"
Asshole : "LOLLLL EPIC FAIL. You're in year 12 and you don't know that? Although wonderful use of 'teh' shows you'd be better suited for 3rd grade. Why don't you just quit school and find a job at maccas where you belong?"
There we go. A typical response from the weiner. No he's never replied to any of my posts in that way , but I still find it intensely annoying that someone can make such a condescending remark when they were just as clueless at one stage.
What's it with kids and not saying 'thankyou' or at least 'thx' when you help them out ? Oh let's see , I was in a bad mood one day and I saw some guy asking for some site on a forum to do with a gaming centre. I posted a link cos , well you know , why not ? Sharing is caring :D. Not only he not say thanks , but he then proceeded to tell me that I had wasted his time by making him go through a useless website and not finding the desperately needed gamecards he sought in vain. Well , sue me. You asked for a site which could've been easily googled and you did not make raise your delicate hands to do so. I did your work for you and all you needed to do was bloody search the site for god-knows-what. Mmhmm, so after several "fcuks" and "d!ckheads" I wasn't surprised that I was banned from posting for 2 days. xD lol . Anger management.
ANYWAY , enough venting. I feel kinda good now. Anyone wanna go out ? :D
