==> Darth Fudgester's 65th Bohemian Rhapsody <==

Once I got really, really worked up at my partner when I realised that she hadn't done her part for another project. We had a 5000-word term paper to write, and she hadn't even started on her portion with just two weeks to go to the deadline. And prior to that, I had helped her quite a bit by sending her my reference materials and my first draft when she claimed that she didn't know what to write.Originally posted by the Bear:usually, i use foul language
When I finally confronted her, she confessed that she had been spending hours on MSN every day instead of doing her project.
That was when I totally lost my cool. At that point in time another good friend of mine had just committed suicide, and suffice to say that I was already so badly affected by it that I had to undertake professional counselling.
But even so, I forced myself to do my part of the project, knowing that it wouldn't be fair to my partner if I didn't. And what was this she was telling me? That she didn't do her part because she was lazy? And I was supposed to accept that lousy excuse?!?!
I raised my voice at her and soundly rebuked her. If it weren't for the fact that she was a girl, I would have hurled all sorts of foul language at her. I gave her one week to finish her part and threatened to report her to the lecturer if she didn't meet my deadline.
At that point I could see that she was near to tears. But I couldn't soften up - I can't let her drag my grades down. She could only say 'I'll try' when I asked her to promise to me to finish it on time. At this juncture I threatened to go to the lecturer's office immediately and report her misdeeds.
In the end she gave me a full promise. For one whole week she skipped all her lessons to labour on the paper. In the end, she was able to give me her portion - and I didn't have to carry out the threat.
It really, really sickened me to have to treat a woman that way - but I had no choice. If she wants to do badly for her studies, then that's her problem, but i draw the line at letting her drag me down with her. -
dun blame u for doing it
if i were u...i couldn't bear to threat her
i am too softhearted

It really sickens me to even think about how I treated her that day.Originally posted by StarPuppy:dun blame u for doing it

But like I said, some things just have to be done. That term paper had 40% weightage - if she had willingly screwed it up and dragged me along with it, the results wouldn't have been pretty at all.

Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall.
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen -
god save the queen
the fascist regime
it made you a moron
a potential H-bomb

Woohoo! Way to go!

That's why I try to avoid taking modules with group projects. Cause a lot of shit can happen and I'm not the type to go into confrontations as I might lose control of myself.
Luckily, the only group project I've done so far, everyone was very cooperative, very easy to get along and everything was done on time. Okay, we had someone then who took the leader role and did it quite well.

I'm a pretty nice guy once you get to know me, but I can grow horns out of my head if someone pushes my tension buttons. My term paper partner had pushed my tension buttons really, really hard, and as a result, she got a taste of what an evil b*stard I can be.
I could see that she was feeling really bad about having not putting in the effort, but remorse isn't going to get the job done. We had just two weeks left to the deadline, and there she was telling me that she hadn't even started on her part. I blasted her thoroughly for being so selfish in dragging me down with her laziness and for betraying the trust I had in her. I was screaming my head off at her... but if anything, I held back from being verbally abusive since she's a girl.
She couldn't even promise me that she could get the job done in time after I confronted her - 'I'll try' is not the same as 'I give you my promise'. The words 'I'll try' tells me that she may not finish her work at all. I was forced to threaten to go to my lecturer immediately and to drop her as my partner before I could get her promise.
I could see that she was really fighting to hold back tears. After that, she skipped school for an entire week just to do the paper.
Dang.... Lots of people told me that I did the right thing, but I still feel sucky anyway. -
don't worry about it. me i would have blasted her up, down, left, right, centre without remorse. I don't hold back just becuase the person is a female when something wrong is done; they want equality i shall shove it up their ass, otherwise they can jolly well go be subsevient.Originally posted by fudgester:*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*

Yeah, well, in any case, she's now in Civil Engineering. As such, I don't see myself as having to work with her again.Originally posted by hisoka:don't worry about it. me i would have blasted her up, down, left, right, centre without remorse.

And even if I somehow end up in a cross-faculty module with her that has a group project, I sure as heck ain't gonna take her as a group member.
I've got to go now. Gotta get down to doing my design project. See you guys again at around noon.

Fudge so evil
But I guess thats a normal occurence in tertiary life. There was this female team mate, and we were supposed to work on a paper together, on social identity..etc. I gave her all the info I have, whatever I researched, and 2-3days before its due, I asked her for whatever info she has collected. She refused and backstabbed me, let me to fend off for myself.
So I pieced together a paper on a diff topic entirely. She failed that sub while I passed, and she is still cursing the day I passed that sub. I guess thats what we call karma.
serve her right....
