Messed up my assignment again...
It was a nice Friday, and I have high hopes of doing a good job at my APSC assignment because it involves a lot of calculations and literally zero reasoning. Guess what? I was foiled again. There are 3 questions in the assignment. We divided the questions between the 4 of us. 2 worked on Q1, another on Q2, and I on Q3. There were 2 other guys who skipped the class because they had Economics mid-term. One of the guys who skipped mid-way even wanted to ask me the answers to a Physics assignment which was due that day. I nearly said, "Fuck you, lazy bastard! You're not only not helping us in the APSC assignment, but you're asking me to help you on THAT when we're supposed to do the APSC assignment! You should scramble back to India and eat cow dung". But I didn't say that, I just broke his nose and forced him to drink the blood from his nose. No, I'm kidding. My mind can be extremely violent but my fists aren't, which you guys should know well enough.
So the tutorial leader gave us a briefing, which took around 20 mins (for a competent English speaker, it should take around 10 mins). Then we started on our assigned questions. I took about 20 mins solving mine. None of my group finished theirs yet. So I helped the Q2 guy to solve his question.
The tutorial leader barged in to give a briefing on our next assignment, which theoretically speaking we should do in class on Monday, which is the holiday for Canadian Thanksgiving Day, which the people who planned this course (arrant knaves) somehow failed to foresee that it's a holiday, which means that practically speaking we couldn't do it in class on that day since we don't have class that day, so we are supposed to finish Q1 of the next assignment on this day (I forgot about when we are supposed to do other questions). Enough said, the tutorial leader took about 15 mins of precious time.
Next, the other guy and I worked on balancing the equations and calculating values on Q2. I found the correct workings eventually but I (foolishly) was persuaded by the other guy to use the wrong way, which I later found out was wrong. So I tried to explain to the other guy but he didn't understand (about 10 mins wasted) so my plan was that I'd do the question by myself while he'd help the other 2 (with beyond-repair head damage) solve Q1 (they used up the whole class period trying to figure out Q1, to no avail) . He seemed confused and didn't know what to do. I told him, "You just help them with Q1 and I'll do Q2". Finally when he was about to do what I told him, the class ended and all the teaching assistant (who is marking our assignments) cared was to get out of the class as soon as possible, and he claimed that he'll not mark late assignments, which in turn caused all my group cared about was not to submit the assignment late. I was only halfway through Q2, while the duo was still unsure whether they did Q1 the correct way. Since the TA will not accept late assignments, and I had an English tutorial in 5 minutes (and the class for the tutorial is 12 minutes of walk away), I had to give up on what I was doing. In conclusion, we didn't finish the assignment. Fie for shame! We could do Q1 for the next assignment at home, though.
I was so pissed off. Are these guys coming to university to study? Or did they come just to get away from parents or to party? They are so dumb that I think I can work more efficiently alone. Fuck you! Fuck your brains! Go work in the nightclubs since you're so dumb! Why are you wasting so much money on university?
p/s: When I reached my next class, I found out that I left my sweater in the previous class. Going back to retrieve it and returning to English class caused me to be late by nearly 20 minutes. When I nearly arrived, someone called me. Lo and behold! It's my English TA: he and the whole class is at the outside because there's a fire in the building. Ha ha. Weird thing is that the fire alarm didn't rang. So we had out-of-class discussion, which was new and slightly interesting (and cold).
