Lang Arts B gone wrong.

[jk] discordant soul says:
reasoning:
the 2 of them tried to get me to present today
WHY ME? note that I am below average in Lang Arts, not impressive.
I suspect both groups did not prepare anything and are trying to use it as a cover up.
Here's where you come in. I will claim that they saw my MSN name with [Doing LAB] (i really was yesterday) and hence chose to push it onto me. Obviously this needs witnesses.
Homework [LAB] says:
eek
ur reasoning is true
Homework [LAB] says:
but ur measures are...very manipulative
[jk] discordant soul says:
no serious. as in i really put doing lab yesterday on my msn
Homework [LAB] says:
i noe
Homework [LAB] says:
but they prob gathered that u had prepared sth fr elsewhere
[jk] discordant soul says:
nevermind, they assumed wrongly then
[jk] discordant soul says:
solo work of a guy who can barely break 16 on written commentaries + Jarrel, who isn't as bad as me but not PRO either. RIGHT.
[jk] discordant soul says:
note i am ESPECIALLY bad at unseen poetry
Homework [LAB] says:
in ur group, given the fact that klow is absent, jarrel and u are the two next best
[jk] discordant soul says:
yeah
[jk] discordant soul says:
but i SUCK for 3rd
Homework [LAB] says:
but i mean
Homework [LAB] says:
that's AW's problem
Homework [LAB] says:
group by index numbers
Homework [LAB] says:
very uneven
Homework [LAB] says:
but what if they haven't prepared anyth still?
Homework [LAB] says:
AW isn't that unreasonable
[jk] discordant soul says:
huh? what do you mean
Homework [LAB] says:
as in
Homework [LAB] says:
he won't force them to present impromptu
[jk] discordant soul says:
but then i can quote sir on his own words
"ALL groups are supposed to b ready at the same time as the 1st presentation"
Homework [LAB] says:
but so what
Homework [LAB] says:
he can't do anything u see
Homework [LAB] says:
it isn't graded
Homework [LAB] says:
at most he can reprimand them
Homework [LAB] says:
but i think he understand the fact that there workload now is huge
Homework [LAB] says:
so he won't be that unreasonable
[jk] discordant soul says:
and so my group's workload now is NOT huge. >_>
Homework [LAB] says:
no
Homework [LAB] says:
but by the sole virtue that u did prepare sth
Homework [LAB] says:
then u might as well present fr AW's pov
[jk] discordant soul says:
interesting. right.
[jk] discordant soul says:
cause... i can tell its not random that A/B 'nominated' me
[jk] discordant soul says:
btw did you catch who said it? cause russell said he wasn't too sure when i asked him
Homework [LAB] says:
B told A, then A told sir
[jk] discordant soul says:
ok.

I think you know who you are. Come on, I'm not THAT stupid. >_>
I know your homework load is heavy. Like mine isn't.
But come on. If you're going to try and mess around with people like that, trying to manipulate them for self-protection, you chose the wrong person.
And more than that, it also reveals something about your character.
I mean, would you even think of being a 'normal' 'friend' with someone even after you know the person treats you as a resource, a lump of meat, a tool?

maybe it's in areas like these where you mature socially?
i think 2 years ago i wouldn't have seen this pattern?
yet to me now, it's pretty obvious. in fact sometimes i overassume.
maybe i've shifted from ren xing ben shan to ren xing ben pin and now to ren xing ben e
i dunno...

anyway
thanks hsiehwen and russell for helping me with that
and danyee, for reassuring me and comforting me after the presentation. thanks alot. you guys really helped <3

also, to sam chan
i thought about what you said after the ioc briefing today.
you do have a really special gift, maybe it's just not realised yet.
as in, i'm sure of that (that you have a gift).
i agree with what you said. i think you should pray about it.
God will reveal it to you when the time comes.
so don't worry. =)
