    Angry The angry people in my head demand a sacrifice

    It's the last week of classes before finals. Which means it's project time! Boo.

    My scary professor assigned a project for stress management fair about two months ago. I was partnered with a girl I didn't even know to cover Reiki. She said not to worry, that she knew a Reiki practitioner and would talk to her about helping with our project. So I read up on Reiki and created a posterboard to accompany our speaker. The stress fair is happening Wednesday (tomorrow).

    So Monday afternoon, I get a call. My partner just called the Reiki practitioner and, unfortunately, Reiki lady has to be somewhere else. How odd that, given virtually no notice, the Reiki practitioner would be unavailable. Who would have thought? Oh, and my partner has no idea what to do now. Super.

    So I scrap the entire Reiki idea, toss out my posterboard, and start from square one. Since hearing of this on Monday, I have lined up a Falun Dafa practitioner, taken a refresher course on Falun Dafa and started on a new posterboard. My partner declined to go to the Falun Dafa class, saying she'd check it out online. She may meet me tonight to help with the posterboard. May.

    So the stress fair is tomorrow and she has contributed approximately nothing. I'm sure she will stand there like a dumb log when people visit the booth. The best part? I know we're receiving a group grade, not individual grades. So not only is she useless, she's a grade mooch.

    My angry brain people want her to die.

    Can you say something to the teacher?

    Oh I'd tell the prof for sure. Fuck that. I hate those people, and that is why I avoid classes with group presentation marks. I dropped one last semester because instead of an exam, our prof wanted 50% of our mark to come from a group project. No way, man.

    Not trying to be a jerk here, but I see some irony that all this stress is being caused by a "stress management fair".

    Perhaps you could demostrate stress management by randomly smacking your partner with a stick. Thus directing your stress towards its cause. You may not get an 'A'....but it would be fun...

    Yeah, definitely tell your prof. I absolutely loathed group projects and the lazy, grade-sucking vampires that came along with them.

    ARG!!!! I met with her tonight to go over the poster and she kept saying "I can't believe how easy this has been/this has been so simple." I wanted to brain her then and there.
    On a brighter note, the prof has been made acutely aware of the situation. And I've put her in charge of explaining to the public what Falun Dafa is all about. Mwahaha.
