pooped

I am tired. Really tired. My eyes are burning and I have a slight wooziness going on. I blame the coffee I had any my data communications lecturer. They are equally to blame for my current state.

My data comm lecturer is evil I tell you, pure evil. He held us back for 1/2 an hour after supposed dismissal time. He also made the score of our quiz the determinant of our attendance. Evil I tell you, Eeeeevil. I mean, we are given seperate marks for quizzes and attendance, so how can he justify doing that? Even if we did fare badly on our quiz, we should still be given the marks for attendance right? Right. But like I said, he's evil. He even snapped at me for reading the DATA COMM textbook in class. Talk about weird. It's not as if I was reading a magazine or something totally unrelated to the subject. I was reading the textbook for goodness sake. He's not local, guess that explains his weirdness. I might just complain to the course leader about his behavior, but I haven't decided yet whether I should or not.

I have a bone to pick with the administration of my uni. They honestly do not know what they are doing. I was told I could get credit transfer for a few subjects. So I got all excited at the prospects of not having to sit for certain papers thus fast forwarding the completion of my education. After doing the necessary, (writing a letter to the dean, handing in a credit transfer application to the admin, meeting the guy in charge several times) I was told that it was a success and I could drop the subject - Algo. After my second mid-term paper, the guy in charge met me and said,

guy in charge: "ermm.. I checked the senate papers and it seems there has been a mistake, the transfer is only valid for August intake, so I guess you'll have to take the subject anyway"

Oooookay.. I was flabbergasted.

Me: "I could've taken the subject this semester, but I dropped it cause you advised me to"
guy in charge: "But you didn't attend the classes right?"
Me: "I did! I attended each and everyone of them till you told me my transfer was approved"
Guy in charge: " Oh well, you'll just have to take again"
Me: "But that's a total waste of my time!"
Guy in charge: "But, you've wasted your time already anyway"

He walked off, with no sense of remorse even though this whole screw up was his fault. Damn idiot. It really pissed me off that he passed that comment. I really want to make a official complaint to the dean, but I still have a few semesters here and I think it'd be unwise for me to create a stir before graduating. Who knows what hell I'll be put through if I do complain and get his ass in hot soup? I'll have to think about this properly and weigh out the pros and cons. Either way, he has to pay for this. Sooner or later.

I should recalculate my CGPA standing because it is now all screw up due to this mix-up. Such incompetant people they have working in this pathetic excuse for a uni. If I didn't have so little left to finish, I would've transfered out long time ago. They seem to be getting from bad to worst.

I feel tired. I want to rest a while. Maybe some John Meyer would calm my nerves.
