Well, it's happened. I've finally flunked something. I failed computer graphics, I've been granted a supp. exam so I'll need to resit the exam to see if I can get a pass on it. If not, it's deemed as a fail and I'll go pick up Finger Painting 101 or something. Either way, I'm not graduating with most of my classmates. I'll be asked to join in the mid-year graduation ceremony but I think I'll just tell them to send me the bloody bit of paper and to kiss my arse.
I've had enough of it all. I am not doing honours, I am not picking another computing unit if I fail the supp exam. I like the university (hey, I work there after all) and some of the computing lecturers I like but on a whole, I can't stand the school of computing. I am not going back.. ever..
On a happier note, I had a good lunch with my friends today. We usually get together to share our exam results which are released electronically. It was good to catch up with everyone.
I like the contrast between my blog and EvilWombatQueen's. She has bad experiences with work and loves Uni. I am the complete opposite. Guess it's what makes the world interesting..
I start a new job tomorrow. I have a job as a tech officer for the Centre for Advancement of Learning and Teaching (CALT) at Uni. It's part time but the part-time wage is enough to keep me more than happy. I'll still do casual hours at the library though. I'm feeling a bit sick about it. My boss from the library keeps saying things like "Do well." and "Don't abuse the fact that your supervisor is really nice and patient 'cos you are on probation for 6 weeks".. I don't know who he thinks I am but his lack of confidence in me is starting to unnerve me. I'm sure he wants me to succeed, just a strange way of showing it.
Anyway, I'll be fine. I just need to stop psyching myself out about it and get in there. I'm usually fine in most social situations (with the exception of the whole male prostitute thing, right D?) so I just need BE there rather than THINKING about being there. If that makes any sense.
All my assignments are now handed in. I never have to hand in another assignment ever again... unless I do honours.. and then.. well, I'm just stupid if I do honours. What kind of person signs themselves up for another year (2 years if I do part time honours) of torture. I have 3 exams left and hopefully I don't flunk anything. Then I graduate with a bachelor's degree in computing. Yay!!
