i think i have effectively burnt all bridges with 114.

haha.

i can empathise the stress they're grappling with and they certainly need no crap from me

but seriously, how can you expect me not to get angry when you leave your writing of the WR the night before submission?

when you want me to grant you such a generous deadline, obviously i expect you to work at it consistently so that your draft is respectable rather than something hastily scribbled so as to get it over and done with

when you can unabashedly give me lame excuses like "oh, saras's internet access is down. i couldn't get a copy"

i guess on hindsight, i ought to assume some responsibility since i didn't explicitly tell saras' group my expectations. then again, aren't such expectations obvious? isn't it tragic if i need to spell them out for you?

or i suppose Attitude reflects leadership and i am just not a good teacher since i'm sure they would never have given Jennifer Liou such crap

perhaps but i am v v angry. i have never been so angry in my life

so angry that i didn't have the mood to mark my scripts

so angry that i couldn't even scold them properly because i wasn't thinking straight. which means that they probably resent me rather than learn something from this episode

sigh. i think the only saving grace from this saga is that i realise the depths of my anger (melodramatic. haha) so that for subsequent incidents, i will be able to conduct myself with dignity and make them learn something
