post-presentation(s) slump ._.;;;;;;;
Aug. 7th, 2001 08:16 pmGRRRR.
Two presentations today.
Photography ... a joy. Since it's highly subjective, and Teacher "approved" of shi's major independent study (30%! whee!)- shi did more than okay.
*happy!*
STOOPID english GROUP oral presentation is another fricken tale. ._.;
First off, we started with five members.
One person never showed up. Got a phone number somehow, and he NEVER answered. >.>;
So, down to four ppl (shi included) who divvied up the tasks.
... we had time for 3 meetings. all three times, Shi'd manage to show up with A (names protected for shi's own good) who's in same program as shi - and the others - B & C - would either be: a) no-shows, or b) there but doing other work.
sooo things stood, shi got her stuff done, and we come to the weekend b4 presentation.
Shi was busy with four other end-of-semester projects, so finally mailed of what shi'd done.
A mailed shi back promptly with his. He's good, earnest - with a slight tendency to take answers straight from the book without quoting.
The other two didn't have a FRIGGIN clue what the F*** they were supposed to do. B mailed everyone, shi made comments, suggestions, tried to smooth out things so that we'd have a coherent thesis - and when it's an HOUR before presentation at an EMERGENCY group meeting - it's "oh, I didn't mail you back cuz I didn't understand what you meant".
..... h'lo? ._.
C, on the other hand, NEVER emailed anything back until 1AM on presentation day. He claimed that nothing got to him except the "are you there?" emails. And promptly messed his part up when shi & A held the EMERGENCY meeting to double check and rehearse the presentation.
He was told what he was supposed to DO when we divvied the assignment up, through email when he finally answerd, AND by his cell phone number when he finally included in his email.
And he did "nada".
well, WORSE than Nada. Since he was in charge of researching a biography and finding out additional information - the guy just plaigarized RIGHT OFF THE OFFICIAL SITE.
Not a single word change OR a paraphrase.
And of course, proper MLA format was NOT done, nor did he have a diskette to save his work ON.
The sum of it, SHI had to type the whole thing up an HOUR b4 the actual presentation.
And when we tried for a rehearsal, he kept claiming he only needed to read from the sheet.

Shi needs to go bang her head against a wall very, very badly.
GAAAARRRRAAAGGGGH.
