My tutor, for not getting my reading list to me until this morning, meaning this whole week is going to be a mad rush of International Relations fail  |

I feel for you korrigan131. I'm having bucket loads of problems with both my lecturer and tutor being so bloody disorganised  (among many other things). They expect a lot of you but don't think they have responsibilities as well |

Arguments that you've had a thousand times and resolve nothing, and serve only to rile up the other party.

Travel insurance companies who want you to tick that you've read a 39 page "Terms & Conditions"document in microprint before you proceed, by which time you'll have timed out, lost the will to live and will have to enter your details all over again.
Or you won't have read it, then they'll catch you out with the clause that says you're not covered if you have a head.

Summer colds. Essay is out the window, well at least meeting the deadline is. I feel utterly rubbish and can't talk properly.

Work colleagues fannying about doing nothing but chat and typing so slowly a monkey with no fingers could type quicker, whilst you do all the work. |

The blackbird. Every time I fill up the birds' water he spies me doing it, winds himself up, takes a massive run-up and bombs into it like a teenager at the swimming pool. This gets rid of half the water and then, to remove the rest, he has a really good wash behind his ears, underarms, and between his toes. Once he is thoroughly sodden he goes off for a sing in the hedge. (Which is the nice part). Meanwhile, all the other birds are perching disconsolately on the edge of the dish trying to sip the few drops that are left. So we begin again. He spies the watering can and sets himself up for a bombing run ...

Bloody actors. They're using the spare room downstairs as a dressing room for a play, and every single time they let both heavy doors bang, which makes the whole damn staircase shake They are ignoring the signs we've put up to ask that they don't let them bang, and I even asked them nicely. It's driving everyone on the staircase stark raving bonkers!!! |

Exams, and more specifically revision for an exam where all the slides have been written by two lecturers who are lovely people, and who really know their stuff but DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH well enough to communicate it!

Quantitative Economics, i.e. stupidly pointlessly difficult maths made absolutely incomprehensible through the fact that we have to use graduate level textbooks 'cos it's halfway between grad and undergrad level. Tis bloody impossible, and none of us understand it, not even the really intelligent people at my college. To top it off, the tutor group I'm with are hopelessly disorganised, and are clueless, me especially 'cos it turns out that I forgot all my maths in my gap year, and so we're already on unofficial probation. Plus our tutor is an absolute banker in the first degree, smug and unhelpful and rude; who actually puts "FYI this was the worst work this week" on tute work?? I mean c'mon! There's not even anyone to ask for help, as this is the first year that this module has existed, and there's uni-wide complaint about it. GRRRRR.

I'm adding to the one above... Tute partners who don't start the reading until the day of the deadline because they're too busy playing frisbee on the lawn outside my window whilst I'm trying to arrange meeting up for the work, who say they know nothing about the work so don't turn up to help, who excuse themselves for a tute saying they'll drop in after, eventually turn up half an hour late, having not even had a tute in the end, and having been p*ssing about in the meantime, who then wait until 10 mins before deadline to take a look at the paper and say "oh actually, I get this, this would have been simple"!!! Textbooks that make perfect sense if and only if you're a maths graduate. Lecturers and lecture notes that don't make any sense. Specimen papers that have absolutely no correlation to the work you're being taught. People who say that "they can't do it" every week, but almost always have the whole thing done almost perfectly. Patronising course heads and the emails they send. Tutors who think that setting extra work will help you get through the stuff you've already got faster. Work that takes away from the work you actually find interesting and the tutor for which you don't want to disappoint. People who claim to be ill to get out of the work that week. Oh and people asking you to go out every single night you're busy, but never ever let you know about anything that happens when you're free, and then guilt trip you for not coming out. Oh the RAGE!!!Also I think this should probably be in Rant and Rave... |
