I pray this will be the last emo post =S

I know everyone's kinda sick of my school rants. But I'm just gonna rant one last time lol. =S
Well, tension finally boiled over when my project mate demanded that I change my Java code to suit his 'ideals' for the program. Shit la, I spent days coding that, and just one sentence from him, I need to change everything?
He went on to say how I've underperformed for the Flash project and he's been covering my ass all these while. And... We went on to quarrel for quite sometime. But somehow, it felt good after the big row cos' weeks of bottled-up feelings were finally released.
My relationships with them improved justtt a teeny-weeny bit, and when I thought it was all fine and dandy, I was in for a rude shock when they intend to chiong the project overnight. First time staying in school until 4 AM. Great. (=.=) Luckily the girls made their intentions known to leave by 4 AM, if not the madness would have continued till the next morning.
The guy suggested that I should stay a little while longer so that I can catch the first bus. Thanks, but no thanks. When I casually commented that my mum would get worried sick, he said "ji shui liao? (how old are you?)". I seriously can't see the connection between how old I am and my mum's concern for me.
He could say all these insensitive things to me, but in front of the girls, act like a wimp and allow them to bully him, but still able to muster his broken ego to amuse them with jokes. What a friggin' clown. Srsly... What happened to the guys nowadays? (>.<)
And they're probably planning another all-nighter. Oh well, just tahan 3 more days, and it'll be all over.
But srsly, can't they take things into perspective? They're such perfectionists, demanding every single detail to be perfect. I spent 3 hours coding something in Flash, but due to escalating demands, I spent another 4-5 hours tweaking my program to meet their demands. And guess what? The part which I'm coding yields a grand total of 0.5 marks for the final grade. (>.<)
Assuming every module is 100 marks. 5 modules = 500 marks. This project = 30 marks. They spend their whole friggin' time on this, and what happens to the other 470 marks? Moderation is the key, my friends. No wonder they're struggling in their math modules cos' they just don't know how to make use of their time efficiently! Look, I rather get all Bs, then A for one subject, and Cs (and the occasional D/F) for the rest.
Probably an indication for me to broaden my horizons next semester. The girls are too clingy to each other. The guys... Nuff' said. When we get together as a group of 5, I feel as if I'm the odd one out. I've not felt so restrained in a friendship before. Even superficial church friendships feel much more comfortable than this.
Dang, this really sucks. I could finish an arts research essay in under 3 hours, similarly yielding 30 marks for the final grade. And to program something worth 0.5 marks, I spent 7-8 hours? That's the enormous discrepancy between Arts/Biz and Engin/Computing. So, I really hate how Arts students complain that their workload is horrendous, cos' mine is definitely worse. >:(
Okok... I'll stop emo-ing already... Haha... :) Hopefully, by my next blog post, the happy-go-lucky Benedict would return. Tomorrow will be a better day! Errr... Who am I kidding when an all-nighter project meeting is in store for me? (>.<)
