Well the huge group presentation is done. It was okay though at the same time we had some problems because we almost went over the time limit that we had due to the fact that we had one guy who had English as a second language and the pessimistic guy I mentioned earlier.

Overall I think this was the worst group assignment I ever had in college, and probably the only one that I had an actual concrete conflict with a few team members. I honestly have to be a bit hard on evaluations since team work is the main point of the entire class and I can apply quite a few concepts we learned in class with our situation.

Especially with one particular guy that I mentioned earlier that was pessimistic because he didn't like the class and is going to most likely going to fail since he missed quite a few days and assignments. It was especially bad since he didn't understand how little time we had to present and he felt that more is more instead of less being more.

I mean I understand that he was stressed out and all, plus the fact that honestly I don't think the class was structured very well but the professor I think needs more experience so honestly I don't really blame the teacher that much, but so was everyone else, especially since we had the guy who was kind of freaking out since he needed time to prepare his part since English is his second language. Plus again for some reason he doesn't show up to class and he didn't really have faith in us actually doing what we were supposed to so he overloaded himself a lot. I mean the poor guy was so stressed out but unfortunately he brought it on himself for multiple reasons.

I really wished that we presented next week so our presentation could have been better and so we could have had a better sense of how fast the time went.

Sorry for what seems like a whinny rant but seriously, worst group assignment ever!

Flargle, outside playing with my chucks and I whacked my middle finger with them, right on the tip.

And Mabel won't stay off my desk.

TFN has a hugging thread? Episode IV: A New Hug?

Their positivity is practically emanating everywhere.

Quickman · **Reply #20330 on:** May 30, 2014, 03:17:37 AM

Yeah, they're very welcoming to newbies.

Considering we're pretty much cynical assholes when it comes to newbies until we warm up to each other this doesn't surprise me. And yes at times I will admit that I can be a [sonic slicer].

Once you start hanging around the JCC forum, though, you become fair game.

The Newbie forum has hugs and welcoming parties, places to practice markup codes, little games; the Fanfic forum loves seeing new writers, even if they don't write but just hang out in the social thread; Lit is pretty open to newbies in social threads and the general EU threads, and overall, the forum is pretty welcoming.

LACWAC can get snotty at times; the movie forums have a hate boner for EU fans, and if you say something dumb in a JCC discussion thread, they'll let you know.

Fexni do you have any comments about this?

It's nice to blame Ubi Montreal for everything, but let me tell you... all the studios are just as incompetent. With the number of times I have to repeat the same thing to the same people over and over again at the other studios, I have exactly 0% hope that it's better anywhere else. I have dirt on all of them.

Disclaimer: I'm not claiming Ubi Montreal is any better. I think I've already made that clear int he past, though

Fair enough.

Also now that I think about it in retrospect I think Tiamut would have been a better name for a female Salamence than Fafnir. I might retcon that in the Wilypocalyse RP considering I retconed the names of Sakura's Lucario from Ginseng to Fenri, her Absol went from Twilight to Yin and Zeta's Skarmory's name got changed from Sephiria to Celty.

My family and I just a while ago started looking for a desk for me that we'll set up at the other house, and we're gonna look around Costco for an HDTV I so desperately need to replace the crappy CRT I have.

I was debating if I should hide the e-mails of banned users, but then decided that spam is a good punishment, so I left those accounts alone.

Too bad the spam is just gibberish and not adds. It would have been great if there were adds for like ham and bacon or something.

I have Time in a Bottle stuck in my head after watching that Quicksilver scene.

Sakura Leic · **Reply #20342 on:** May 30, 2014, 06:28:15 PM

First time I gave almost all ones to a teacher on one of those teacher evaluation things. For clarification a 1 is the highest grade you can give on the survey and 5 is the lowest.

Phi · **Reply #20343 on:** May 30, 2014, 06:35:18 PM

Are your professors really that bad, in general?

I usually end up giving most of my professors positive feedback for the evaluations.

Most are good to me, this is one of the first that I thought was outstanding. I grade kind of hard on those since I actually care about what I think about the teacher and the way they teach the class. Most of the time I give out 1's, 2's, and the occasional 3 for good teachers and a few 2's 3's 4's and even 5's for some bad teachers. It also depednds on some adittudes and stuff too. For example my econ teachers score really low for me for different reasons.

I'll double check here in a bit.

And I just pulled a tick off of Mabel.
