Midterms on the way (rant)

Saturday, May 14, 2016

Since my previous post, my condition has improved. I can move my fingers just like before. I'm only left with these horrible scars. I hope they return to a 'normal' colour as soon as possible.


Since the first day of college, I've been pretty busy. So busy that there was not even time to procrastinate! I study design, and I'm loaded with projects.

This semester's projects are all done by groups. Either by groups of two and three, and even a group of seven! It's something more like this: Monday: 7 members, Tuesday:3 members, Wednesday: 2, Thursday: 3, Friday: 2. I'm okay with all the groups except for the 3-member-group. One of them is the same person from all the other groups, while the other one belongs to the same group on Mondays and Thursdays.

Now get ready for my rant:
The last group-mate I mentioned is frustrating. She unconsciously likes giving out orders. She might ask for advice and even ask you for help, but she doesn't know how to be grateful. She's so stubborn, much to my anger, because I'm kind of stubborn too. But I do the stuff she asks me to do, and that's because she freaking doesn't know how to use the tools.

We all study design, we are all in our junior year of COLLEGE, and even so she still doesn't know how to use what she owns! (Photoshop, for example). She only knows the basics of the basics. I can confirm this because she can't do anything on her own.

At first she asked me "could you do this or that?", but after she's asked me a few times it's more like "do this and that". I got so tired of doing everything that I had no choice but to lie about some other stuff like "I don't know how to do this", "it's impossible to do that" or "I'm very bad at doing these".

I'm THIS frustrated because I have to do most of the digital work, aside of always providing my laptop and thus giving me these severe back pains. But that's not it. She makes lame jokes about me that might be "innocent" for an outsider, but it's getting too repetitive and stupid. It's annoying. She also talks about her love/drama life with the other member and what happens when she does that? We waste time as she can't do two things at the same time. I ignore whatever drama she says and continue with my work. While that might not affect my work, it affects my time. I end up coming home way later than usual.

One day, the project switched into more of a craft/traditional concept. More hand-made illustrations and even collage were needed. I was (and still am) so stressed about me doing most of the work, that I told them that I was very bad at handmade stuff, when in fact, I'm pretty good at doing them, except for collage - that was true. I'm tedious when it comes to craft-work, and I'm sure that if I did them I would have prevented so many works from getting ruined or faulty. But then again I would have been the one doing everything.

Now the real reason I decided to post this rant:
She's so stubborn and set on her comfort zone that she can't move on. We finally decided to divide our group work because: 
  1. I can't stay at her place any later than 6pm (her area is known to be somewhat dangerous)
  2. Her area is one and a half hour away from home (it's her home that is far away, not mine)
  3. Less time is wasted to gather and travel from uni to her home
So, I was given my part and went straight home. I did most of them, except for one last task as I need her part in order for me to do my part - oh, and is still pending.
Since I was done, I needed it to get checked in case she wanted me to change something. I asked her NICELY to tell me her e-mail so I could send her a dropbox link with the files in. Since it's a design file, the size is too much for it to be attached by hotmail. Therefore, dropbox. I told her "look, I'm sending you a dropbox link via e-mail so you can check what you asked me to do". But she refused. Why? Because she doesn't know how to use dropbox.

Are you kidding me? How hard is it to click on the link and look for a "download" tab? She doesn't want to learn, she doesn't want to explore. She's so set on her own world, how annoying is that? I guess the right term is "She doesn't want to adapt".

Forget the external drives, memory storage usb, dropbox is the new sharing tool. By the way, I'm not promoting it, I just don't live in the past. What's the point of usb's when you're far away from each other? I mean, we're already far away, each one in their home, and the only way I can show you is via internet, unless you want me to show you on the day we meet but, wouldn't we then have wasted our time for that day to come?

Earlier before I went home, I asked the other member if my laptop was needed again for Monday (the day we're meeting once more), and she told me that it wasn't. Once at home I wanted to confirm it one last time, and suddenly the annoying one says I had to. The fact that she wrote it as an order annoyed me even more. I'm fed up with her orders. At least say please or thank you. Where did your manners go? Did you even have them? Smh.

Apart from being hella stubborn, she's impolite, and doesn't care about what you might feel. She's dumb. Just because she has everything, she thinks she can do whatever she wants to do. How spoiled. Unless she changes the way she's acting, I won't do any projects with her ever again.

She doesn't want to download a single dropbox file, she doesn't want to install whatsapp on her google chrome browser, she doesn't want to gather in another house, she doesn't want to do digital work. Girl, you better change and adapt before you're left behind.

There's so much more I want to rant about, so much about her stupidness. So much that my head is full of anger. I have all these swearing words about to come out from my mouth. I hope she changes to a better person. I hope she expands her resources. You can call me evil, but for once I hope her files get lost and won't be able to get them back, so I can tell her she could've backed them up with dropbox or something like that.

Anyway, I am unable to continue with this post because my mind isn't thinking straight. All the issues I have with her can't be translated into written/typed words.

Also, I'm removing my blogger link from my instagram profile because some of our classmates might see how I'm backstabbing her- oh wait, I'm not doing that, I'm just telling the truth. Even so, I'm removing it.

ps. I apologise for the many times I wrote the words "so", "just", and "because".
