Sucky day..again..is there no day tt dun?
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
Anyway, I woke up feeling really pissed..cos not only did I sleep thru the alarm..u din wake me either, although u are awake at 2plus..which is way past my waking time...
I managed to draft out the letters that I had to send out, supposedly on the nite. I have no idea how the prof and the people wld feel, receiving emails at 5am, and 7am..they must be thinking NUS students are crazy...
I feel like a sucker... Why is it that I did the research, i got a sample from senior. I suggested which building. I suggest who to interview. and end up, I have to send the email to 2 people too..
Wad happened was, we meet up, all 4 of us, me and the click of 3 gals... and we discussed. Obviously 2 of them did no research as they din bring nor show anyting, one did abit, but not as extensive de research as mine, cos it is mostly from Wikipedia de... and then.. we brainstormed.. it is like a mere 6 bullet points... of rough ideas... and then one of them say, Elaine, u email the two people ok? I agreed. ok..wad's so hard..man, I din noe it was tough until I was drafting the letters.
2 formal letters. Ok, for the Prof one, since is internal prof who have taught us before in yr 1, not so bad. I spent like 30min to draft his letter, requesting to interview him bout the book he wrote on the subject property we were researching on.
The nightmare is the one sent to Capitaland. Big Corporation. Somemore, have to get the sample interview questions out to send to them to take a look. fck... all I've got from my grp is those..6 bullet points which makes absolutely no sense to whoever is not present during our discussion. So, out of the 6 bullet points, I read thru my research, lecture notes, senior's sample report for this project and wrote out interview questions...4 pages...
Took me quite a long time. Cos based on the little data that we have, but a long and detailed research done by me personally, i had to ask intelligent questions. And I have to know precisely wad is to be included in the report, and since information is scarce both in books and online, every question and information asked is very critical to us, cos we have no other means of getting information besides asking capitaland..
all this is done by me...
I worked til 8am before everything is out.
When I went to sch and saw the 3 gals today, i was slightly pissed. though this project is as much mine as much as theirs, I m the one who burnt midnite oil last nite. all them look so refreshed.. I agreed to it, yes, but seriously, who would expect that this wld take so much effort? seriously, I shld have known. this is not the first time I m writing to a corporation to request for interview, last time i wrote to Ministry of Law le wad. So...why din I expect it to be so tough and demand that all 4 of us work together to draft the stupid interview questions in whole rather that let them get away with those miserable few points and Bye, see u tis week, let me know when the prof n capitaland replied.
sucks...
Sometimes, I really wonder it it is me or wad, but I dun seem to have met good project mates yet..in the 2 years in my uni years...except for my Basic Translation grp wich was back in yr 1, i guess, the rest are jus...alot of hardwork..on my part...
Or mayb I m jus a grumpy whinny person who kbkb on everyone...
Bt seriously, Agggrggg... I jus.... dunno why I m such a sucker...
