Hey guys,
I'm procrastinating at uni, and thought I'd make a topic about it. Okay, hopefully it's not that shallow, but yeah, I just wanted to see how many others from the AE86DC community hate the freaking place. Further more, maybe the freaks who like it could show their face, lol. Let me put forward my case.
I'm a current student of Griffith University, Logan campus. Started mid-way through 2004 doing it full time, but after a year I'd had enough so took 6 months off. After that, work said "o hai, if you do it part time, and work full time for us, instead of the other way around, we'll pay your uni fees and give you time to go to uni". Obviously a good opportunity, so I took it, wanting to reduce the debt I'm in post-grad. So, I'd been doing it part time for 2 years, then GU (Griffith) decided, "o hai dude, we wanna get more people through and make monies more, so we're going to fuck you around". I'm doing Business, and because we're the smallest faculty on the smallest campus, we're the gineau pig for a new "trimester" system. Instead on nice chunky 13 week semesters, with a week off after that for study, and 2 weeks for exams, then another 2 weeks for holidays, it's now all compacted into 10 week trimesters, with 1 week off for study and 1 week of exams. Oh yeah, only 1 week break too.
The problem lies within that I work full time. Yeah, full time work was already making part time uni hard, but then they decide to make it even harder by compacting the shit out of everything. DAMMIT. One example is that I'm sitting here late Saturday arvo doing an assignment. It's for market research, we had to do a shitload of real surveys, get the data in, wait for the lecturer to clean it up, then analyse it, throw it into a presentation and a 3000 word report, and present it to the board of Westfield Garden City. Okay, if that was all well timed out and everything it'd be good, but we only got the clean data on Tuesday, and it's to be presented this coming Tuesday. One week to analyse 500+ pages of data, formulate a report, and make a presentation to a major multinational company. Whilst juggling full time work. YEAH WOOO.
Further more, it's the one weekend this year that the/SD is in town. No watchies the drifties for me. Sad panda here.
I hate people sometimes.
