The Hell is Almost Over

For those of you who don’t know, I hate this class!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t think there are enough exclamation points available in the world to provide the level of exasperation I wish to express about this class! It has been seven incredibly long, tedious, horrendous weeks, and I now have only one left to go. Hopefully this week, or next, doesn’t see me driving to Arizona to smack some idiot girl for ruining my GPA. She is the epitome of why I hate team assignments. For example, its an online course, so checking in and posting comments, responses, and general electronic participation are required. She doesn’t really understand this. I would love to see what grade she gets, because I doubt it will be enough to keep her in the program! Since she doesn’t participate near enough, the team portions of the class are near unbearable. I would love nothing more than to kick her off the team and complete the rest of the assignment with my one and only other team member. He, by the way, is awesome! He ask questions, clarifies his comments, he has insight and good suggestions, and…the kicker…he actually does his work!!! OMG, I know!

Luckily, my professor actually did care and has “taken note of the situation. I hate to be the tattletale, but I needed to know whether or not I had to do her work as well as my own. The answer is yes, I do – or we do as Stevie is also responsible. I just don’t understand how you get to this point and just don’t take care of your ish! It kind of reminds me of someone I used to know. She was going to a traditional college and apparently couldn’t bother to turn things in on time. She would wait until finals week to beg for extension on two and three things in a class. Somehow the professors always let her do it, if I were them, I would have said tough luck kid! Figure it out! Its not like her life was that hard! What scares me is she has continued through the educational circuit and is now getting her PhD. This person who couldn’t be bothered to get her ish together is going to be an administrator at a school or university somewhere! I believe the correct thing to say here is…we’re all going to hell in a handbasket!
