Question of the day:
why do university students still ask everyone ard them their marks?
i'm not against it.. i just think that it is incredibly stupid and ridiculous. Let's face it. It is no point asking people thier damn fuckin results. Those who did well will tell you their grades irregardless of whether you asked them. Those who did not do well won't tell you their grades irregardless of how many times you asked them. So seriously, what is the fucking point of asking?
Today, we got back our results of the group project report and our oral presentations.. So, im the only idiot frm my grp sitting there flipping thru the report and reading the comments teacher wrote.. What were the rest of the class doing? going "PSSSSST! what's ur mark? coz we so wan to noe" finding out every single fuckin grp's mark. like piss off already. one girl didnt get tt i didnt wan to participate in the "oh-let's-compare-grades-for-goodness-know-what" game and kept tellin me where to find the mark. lady. get the hint. get a fuckin clue from the way i'm lookin bored and restless and repeating "whatever'
at that very moment, my teacher asked "are you guys comparing marks? why aren't you guys reading your comments?" echoing my exact sentiments.. i fell in love with her right there and then when the teacher asked "isn't it very childish?" i mean.. come on..you have got only a few minutes to read through all the teacher's comments before giving it back.. why not read the comments so that you know where you went wrong?
1) why would knowing other people's grades help you? what? so if i got 87 and you got 86.. do you want me to give you my marks? or if i got 67 and you got 69.. whoop-pee-do! 2 miserable marks whcih would count as 0.00312 in the overall grade! what a big fuckin difference!
and when we got back our marks for oral.. this guy actually rolled all ard the classroom on his chair holdin his damn paper slip (where his oral grades was written) in front of him like some criminal abt to take photo. wtf?
2) why on earth would i want to tell you my marks? what good would that do me? especially when i know im way better than you.. oh how do i know? coz i don't roll ard like some deluded moron askin everyone in sight abt their grades.
next the same girl who was gg PSSsst about the report marks.. we ran into her after class and even before the twit opened her mouth.. i knew what she was gonna ask.. *giggly high ah lian voice* "what u get for oral presentaion ah?" so after a very long moment of silence.. i told her my marks and the guys i was with asked "how about u?" and she went "oh i dun wan tell you all.. HEHEHEHEHEHE!" i looked at her.. looked to the ground floor.. and decided that this girl was born under a lucky star. coz we were on the second floor. she wun die if i threw her over the balcony so shall not bother wasting energy.
seriously.. can anybody help me understand why they bother doing it? to feel good? competitive? what a way to be competitive.
deluded morons.
