Impatient and Ready to Blow!
This was a day of promise. I was finally going to finish my clearance and I'd be going home! I woke up at around 11 am thinking taht this was my day. Nothing could spoil it. Nnot even over-sleeping.
As I was riding the "trike" towards school I saw the school's service vehicle going the other way. Curious. When I arrived I saw my friends mother. She said that all the teachers went somewhere to eat! I was flabbergasted! But I decided to wait. It was time to practice a little paitence anyway. I was without lunch, by the way.
At around 2:30 in the afternoon the teachers finally decided to show up! Thank God! I can finally go home. SO I went to the faculty center and waited for my teacher to attend to me and my groupmate. The subject that's in the question is Research, by the way. The universally hated subject. A fact rather well-established.
So I was all smiles, thinking that I can finall have my stipend and go home! Yey! BUt my teacher said that she can't sign our clearances yet! The world went black. Whe cant open our powerpoint presentation! Urgh! So I rushed back to the classroom and decided if her words were credible. I was then cursing her Pentium-2-very-outdated-and-thick-ugly-laptop. I wanted to see for myself if there was really something wrong with our slides so I borrowed my friend's laptop. My gosh! She spoke of the truth! There really was something wrong!
So I decided to rush home and decided to burn another CD. Good I had a rewritable one at home. SO after correcting the mistake (it was pobably a reference to a bogus database), I decided to burn. After that I had to peel off the sticker label of our old CD and transfer it to the new one. We only had one label so we had to reuse it. After sticking the label, by some compulsion, I read the precations on the new CD's label. It said that stickers cannot be used on the CDRW. My God! I just did that! So I guess I destroyed the whole damn thing. I decided to check. It really was useless now.
I rushed to the mall and bought another set of CDs but I guess I was out of time. So tomorrow might be the day. I hate this! Why does Research have to be so painful? I do not understand this phenomenon...
