...I really hate groupwork.
It's been said that I don't work well with others. I try to. I'll smile, I'll do what other people tell me to, I'll point out the dumb little things that people get confused over, I try and be nice. :D
But sometimes... ugh.
So yeah! Story time! :3

An Electronic Engineering Story of Woe.
or, why Sarri really really hates everyone else.

Okay. We have to do this circuit simulation thing for our groupwork tutorial. One of my group volunteers me and her to do it. ...Not that she actually asked me. We say we'll meet Sunday evening and I hope she means earlyish. She also says she has the notes and labs from last year.

Sunday evening rolls around, and I feel shit. My eye has been going bloodshot, I had a really awful nights sleep and I feel kinda sick. I'm about to give up, when she's 'Oh! 7.30 - 8 ok?' I'm a doormat. I say yes. An hour or so later, she decides she's going out and we'll meet at 8.30. At this point, I say I feel really shit and I'm just not going to be able to stay awake that long. 'But,' she says, 'I can't actually do any of this!' So yes. She basically says we'll do it so she gets credit. [I'm not denying that she hasn't done a lot of good research, just... don't say you'll do something you have no intention of doing!] She says she'll meet me when she's finished eating. I go over, only to find... she doesn't have those notes. End up phoning another guy in the group who does have them, and we say we'll go get them in the morning and skip that lecture. I tell her that really, there's no need for us both to go, it really only needs one person to do it, and I'm okay doing it on my own, but she says she'll come in and try and feel useful.

So, this morning, she leaves me a message telling me to go get the notes off this guy, and she'll meet me 'about 9' in the computer labs. I turn up at the start of the lecture, he's not there, so rather than try and sneak out of a lecture halfway through, I go to the computer labs to try and see if the notes are somewhere in the shared file stuff. But fortunately, I find a simulation from last year that I can change a bit. The other guy texts me at 9.10 asking where I am, I tell him it's ok and I've got the notes. And so much for about 9, she turns up at half past. By this time, I've altered the circuit and all I need is one bit of data which she could have texted me.

...And you know what? It was the wrong circuit. :D In the tutorial, I basically said that I hadn't realised about why we needed the other one, and our tutor was 'Surely it was a group decision?' ':D;;; I don't know so I'll just take the blame.'

The kicker is that we all got marked 'excellent' for our tutorial when we gave him the wrong circuit, and that I'm now somehow group leader.
Doom, I tell you.

And if you hadn't guessed by that, I feel... crap. :3;; My dad gave me Chinese money again, and it feels somewhat wasted. The soup was gorgeous, the starter selection... kinda greasy. And huge bag of prawn crackers? @_@;; And it was expensive too ;___;
But now I don't need to buy food until the weekend, which is good 8D;; However... seeing the Threadless $10 sale is bad.

My eye does keep turning pink, and I'm so tired... I love it how my insomniac group memember is like 'You're always sleeping like 8pm!' I need sleep, k. >_>;; I generally need a lot of sleep. I can't cut it on 2 hours or so unless I'm overloading with caffiene or guaranteed to have a good night's sleep or nap later.
And... I think I should be along to the doctors fairly soon, probably. XD It's not good.

It's also getting to the point of 'ohshitohshitcoursework'. ♥

I have decided I want to dye my hair candy apple red. It'll be cute. I just... need the dye now.

[I love how the first bit of my entry has barely any smilies, then it's like 'WHOA SMILIE OVERLOAD'.]

This song is about cheating. ._.;; It's obvious now, but... .______.

Current staus: ill. :D Pretty sore throat which is moving into a cold. Adding to that is feeling perptually tired, along with the random bouts of nausea that are the norm.
So! The picture of perfect health, har har.
Maybe I should go to the doctors, but that would be the sensible thing to do.

We're making a game in Software Engineering. And I realised I'm the Java pro of the group. By two marks, booya. That makes me happy. I'm an egotist, so what?

I really have to stop spending money. So yeah, Expo looks like a no-go. Auchi however, needs a cosplay, hair dye and a train journey :D

Ohoh! My flatmates exist. XD Just ran into Emma in the kitchen. So far, I'm not quite sure how much I like it here. I mean, I quite like my room, and living so close to uni is major wins. And my flatmates aren't exactly bad. Buttt. Don't exactly see them much. It's not really a very social place. Eh, I was fine with it until Cindy and Tom were pointing out all the flaws. The other Student Village looks nice, but there's it not being that close to uni, and no laundrette onsite... =_=; And the place with a swimming pool? Major cool but, uh, expensive.
Why am I even thinking of this stuff? XD Don't really have to think of it yet. =/ But >_> I do kinda want to stay in private accomodation again next year, It's a bit easier? o.O

Hmm, the state of lectures. Although it's tiring as hell, it's been ok so far. Bar the iffy teamwork project. And the Java project. But we do get to make things. :D Nobody else does, apart from us special people. My actual lab group doesn't seem to be that bad, so it's more people I kinda know for the 2 hour lecture on Wednesdays! :D That is actually somewhat hellish, because I'm always so tired. Although this week I sat and watched the rain. >_>
Next Wednesday seems stressful. Horse riding is meeting at 12.50... when Java ends. And I'm one of the few who actually bother going. >.>; That might get skipped. And after that, mujs. But Steve said he might go, yay.

I need to make more icons. o.O Or add text to some or something.

( Memes of doom. )
