Bloody students
- 05 Mar 2007 09:00
Some little shit hasn't turned up to take part in my experiment this afternoon. Now, that's not quite as weird as it sounds. I'm doing my third year project (kind of like a dissertation) and I'm meant to be meeting a first year student for them to take part in my study. But has he turned up? Has he bollocks. I realise that my lovely little 'do this questionnaire then look at these pictures' fun experiment isn't what most people want to be doing when it's actually not raining for once, but it is making me ever so slightly angry. Not so angry that I turn incredible hulk-like though, fortunately. The last time that happened was during an argument with my boyfriend, as he chose to blurt out to me the future plot lines of Ugly Betty (it's a good program, ALRIGHT?!). Needless to say, there was much anger and stropping from my part and a distinct smugness from him (git).
So, anyway - that first year student is now 35 minutes late. I'm going to send him a nasty email, which I'm sure will really upset him and make him realise the true error of his ways. He will then come and apologise to me, bringing with him lots of chocolate and whisky. Or, he'll read it, go "err", then go back to sleep in a pile of his own hungover vomit (sorry, that was disgusting). I might make this boy my nemesis. I've come to be bored of my last nemesis - a girl who shall remain nameless who in primary school made fun of my best friend for not playing kiss chase. The anger and competitive hatred went beyond this but that's where it started. I think I may have pushed her over in the lunch queue...although I was short and quite overweight at the time so it was probably just me having a little trip and natural force that could have taken the entire lunch queue down.
Well, back to work. This really has been lovely, we must do it again sometime.
