I'm dying. serious.
the bad old VID nightmare is back. and the only thing that keeps VID from being as bad as FCP is the simple fact that VID is one of the most useful modules i've had so far. whereas FCP is total bullshit that helps nobody.
to make everything worse, i lost ALL the little motivation i ever had for school. i'm putting all my energy into counting down the days left till holidays.
Eric says hes expecting more from us since this is our 2nd project already.
now thats one fatal statement. with less motivation from me & higher expectations from him, its a sure-die case.
i'm just waiting to get killed tomorrow, when i show Eric my 80% completed project.
actually, i completed more than 80%. in fact, i'm more or less only left with throwing all my stuff into dreamweaver & then onto a hosting site.
but problem is, i doubt Eric's gonna take my shitty work. its the total cheapness overload. from the cheaply animated icons to my cheap copying & pasting everywhere i can, i cant even deny the cheapness man. and Eric will always be able to see through such things. hes just too pro. argh i hate to think of what Eric will say to me tomorrow.
a pass is all i want. i swear i'll be happy even with a 'D'. but actually, i wont mind failing if it wasnt for the compulsory need to retake failed modules.
had my 2nd last IAC lesson today.
cant wait for it to be totally over, but too bad i cant skip the last lesson. i can only afford to skip 1 IAC lesson, which i already did, and theres this class assignment thats worth 10% of my overall grades to be completed in the last lesson. so either way, i can really stop toying with the idea of skipping the last IAC lesson already.
oh and i had my IAC group presentation today too. its not as bad as i thought, and somehow i wasnt half as nervous as i thought i would be. but maybe thats because i know i wont be seeing those people from my IAC class anymore, after i'm done with COMT & IAC, which is like quite soon. and i was seriously too busy with Kiwa to even remember to feel nervous.
shes being unbelievably annoying as usual, standing behind me mumbling about the things i should say when i'm presenting the introduction part. so obviously, my mind's really occupied at that time. i'm like trying not to roll my eyes at the audience out of irritation, trying to cover everything i need to say while ignoring her constant mumbling behind my back, trying not to turn around and yell at her to stfu & above all, i'm sooooo damn tempted to tell her to do my part of the presentation herself. well since she obviously thinks i cant do it without her constant "help" & also since shes seems to get a kick from doing it.
and her part of the presentation totally made our jaws drop. our, meaning me + Chiyang +Pris.
firstly, she came out with a chart thats SUPPOSEDLY based on my survey results. but of course, she definitely cooked up all the info on that little chart of hers because i'm the one who did the survey & i know theres no way you can obtain those info. i simply did not ask about those personal info in my survey. and when she presented, she said "I made this chart............" & Pris was like "I?" well its true she made that bullshit chart. but she didnt have to say it like that. this is a group presentation. if we were all to follow her divine example, i would be saying "MY survey"; Pris saying "MY powerpoint slides"; Chiyang saying "MY interview & conclusion".
secondly, she started cooking up wonderful stories about people who took the survey, like she knew all 41 of them who did the survey. she even gave a general idea of their occupations! now thats totally like "fortune-telling". i totally raised my eyebrows when she started on that. i'm not the only one doing that behind her though. shes just that unpopular in my small group of 3, excluding her.
thirdly, when answering a certain question asked by my IAC teacher, she said she helped Chiyang out with the interview. thats like the most shocking thing i can ever possibly hear in my IAC class already. shes shamelessly claiming credit. not only had she not given Chiyang any help, she had said that interviewing wasnt "her part". so Chiyang was doing the interviewing, i did the survey & Pris did the entire powerpoint. all thats left for her to do was to make pie charts based on the survey results i compiled, but she took soooo darn long to complete her task, Pris already did the pie charts on her own. and even after we finally got to see the pie charts she took ages to come up with, we still used Pris's pie charts simply because Pris did a better job. so in the end, the ONLY thing she really did was the bullshit chart.
i'm proud of myself for being a good tolerant earthling today. i managed to keep myself from yelling at her & i stopped myself from kicking her chair hard enough to preferably blast her off to outerspace. kicking her chair was really tempting, especially when i sit behind her in COMT & IAC classes. and to think i didnt even give her the finger when she annoyed me! i'm too tolerant to be true already XD
enough ranting about sch stuff.
its time for my J-rock appreciation, J-rocker worshipping & eyesight-straining in the Little Shop of Treasures ^_^
hope my Kagrra, album comes tomorrow ^_^
