A little update, A little rant

Hi! I'm back after so many days. Finally, right? It's been really difficult to update because I've just been staying back in school to rush assignments and stuff so there's nothing much to update either. I'll try my best to update, but I don't want to update really boring stuff because then, there'd be no point in blogging, right?

Anyway, I finally did my presentation on Vitruvius yesterday. My teacher was subconsciously stressing my partner and I though! Last week, he saw a "preview" of our slides and the script. I'm really anal about slideshows. I can't stand seeing wordy slides because not only will I not read it, I want to listen to what the presenter wants to say and if the slides are too wordy, I can't listen and read at the same time. I'm sorry, but my brain just can't handle this, you know. So I kept it really short and simple, and I used some photos in replacement of the words. Erik (my tutor) said it was good and he was looking forward to it.

So this week Wednesday, before we started the presentation, he told the class this *exact quote*: "Their presentation is going to be good. I've seen their preview and it seems like it's going to be quite well done!" Erik, more stress? Thanks. But we went ahead with it and it went quite well. Really glad though.

On Thursday, I was supposed to go for General Education class but I skipped. HAHA. I went to school earlier to touch up on my Oral Communication presentation. YES, 2 presentations in 2 days. I swear, my lecturers are all out to kill us. Anyway, this one's for my CA so I was slightly more serious about it. I didn't even wrote much on the slides. Like I said, I'm quite anal about presentation slides. I feel that it is just a visual aid and that presenters should not rely fully on the slides. So I had mostly pictures and arrows/circles to mark out the points that I talk about. I thought I did quite well, though.

After that, I stayed back in school till 10pm (!!!) to finish up my work because I have submission the next day. It is so tiring! I don't want to bother about it anymore so I don't really care if I fail. I gave up long ago but my tutor, Muz, was super nice! He told me not to give up and stuff. Also, on the consultation day, the school printer spoiled so I wasn't able to print the consultation log sheet. But he was super nice and told me that I could email him and he'll meet me to sign the log sheet for me. (Because we need at least 4 log sheets and the tutors have to sign it to prove that you have consulted them). He's so nice! I'd feel bad for letting him down so I did the prototype.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow because everyone will go crazy after the submission. And I'll be going to watch Despicable Me 2 after lessons!! Can't wait! xD






Here comes the interesting part of the week. Something happened that pissed me off on Tuesday. Well, it was funny too but it pissed me off pretty badly.
There's this girl in my class whom, I confess, aren't really fond of. She irritated me a few times before this incident and I don't really talk to her. Background information is that not many people in the class likes her either because she does the most irritating things a student/friend can ever do. Anyway, back to the story, she forgot my name so she asked the girl sitting beside me, "Hey, Nimita. I'm sorry but, what's her name again?" And she points to me. My friend immediately gave her the 'bitch-are-you-serious' face. Okay, in the first place, my real name isn't hard to remember at all. It's so easy that you probably could've remembered it the moment you hear it because it either sounds super act cute, or weird to you. Even my friend didn't know how to react to the girl! So my friend whispered to the girl my name and the girl asked me if I could help her unplug her wires, since it's directly underneath my table.
As for the following, I shan't say. Hint is, I'm not a nice person. Also, if you don't know someone's name, that's when you know you shouldn't ask them for a favour.




Moving on, a little funny story (rant) that happened to me on Wednesday.
So I was doing work with my friends in the studio, but my friends had to go for a meeting and I was left alone with a male stranger in the studio. He was also a freshie, doing his own submissions at one side of the studio. Seems like an ordinary day right? Sure, it is. Here comes the problem: I had to go to the toilet really urgently. (Take note, the door is spoiled so it started to lock at 2pm when it should've start locking itself only at 6pm.) At this point of time, I was thinking: who's going to take care of the stuff? Who's going to open the door for me? So I looked at that guy and he was just doing his submission. And I thought to myself: this guy's here so I guess I can leave since someone'd open the door for me. After that, I left the room. Until here, it seems fine, right? 
This is the part where it gets frustrating/funny.
 When I came back to the studio, the door was locked and NOBODY was inside. Appalled, I wondered where that guy was. All my stuff were inside the studio and I only had my phone with me. I was so frustrated at that point of time. I went to the studio next door (the 2 studios are connected), and praise the Lord, someone was inside and opened the door for me. 
The most ridiculous part comes:
When that guy came back from.. Well, wherever he went, he knocked on the door, expecting me to open the god damned door for him.
Mister, in case you didn't realize, your stupidity could've locked us BOTH out for good. What if there wasn't anyone in the studio next door right? Not to mention, the stuff there consist of at least 10 people's belongings, including laptops, submissions and whatnot. Thank you, Mister Smartypants! I can't believe the amount of atrociousness in this. Seriously, what is wrong with him?? He's been sitting there for the past 3 hours and never went anywhere! Didn't even move from his seat! The moment I stepped out, HE STEPS OUT. MR, U TINK U KYUTE?! =_= Some people, I'll never understand.


I guess that's the end of the rant. I know it's quite a ridiculous thing to rant about, but hey, I have all my valuables inside the studio. And it's not as if he didn't leave his stuff inside the studio. I'll update again if there's anything interesting. Most probably tomorrow since I'll be going for a movie~ Have been catching quite a few movies lately. I want to watch White House Down and Pacific Rim!! If only I can find someone to go with ): #foreveralone.

Oh, btw, here's my OOTD! I don't usually do this, but it's rare for me to wear skirt or leopard prints so here:


Pardon my messy hair cos it's been a REALLY, REALLY long day. I've been wearing this top for my OC presentations since.. week 1. HAHAHA. It just matches with the skirt, okay! I don't like to wear skirts unless I feel like dressing up on that day, but for presentations, I have no choice. Well, I prefer skirts to long pants because long pants make me feel like my legs can't breathe and move about properly. (I like to wear stockings though. The irony hah.) It's a rare occasion indeed.

I shall end here today, then! Au revoir~
