You know you are a perfectionist when you spend more than 12 hours editing an essay over and over again, making sure every kinks are removed from the essay, making sure the whole essay flows, making sure every word is perfectly situated... And you just keep editing till the very last minute before it is due for online submission... I must be crazy. Why can't I be lazy for once?
Sigh
I'm now in the midst of revising another term paper, yes, it's the 10th essay for this semester... I'm starting to love writing... like real. But it's not as bad as exams i think. No matter what, how can you expect someone who fails GP to write academic essays and score an A? Whatever. It's not the time to care about grades anymore. What's done cannot be undone.
Anyway, I always thought that I have a rather high threshold of tolerance, and i'm seldom angry (i think). But this semester is driving me nuts. First, I left my thumbdrive at the USP multimedia lab & then I received an email from this girl who accused me of misusing
her thumbdrive. Apparently, she left hers (exactly the same as mine - Fujitsu users got that as a free gift) at the same terminal. But hers was already "stolen" before I even got there. When she saw my thumbdrive, she mistook it for hers but she found all my documents inside and accused me of replacing her data with mine in the thumbdrive! WTF! Though I was fuming mad, the good old me just explained kindly to her the situation and asked her to keep the thumbdrive instead. So kind right? Walau, I can't believe i actually did that...
Just yesterday, the Central Library tested my tolerance. I went to borrow a RBR (whatever that means but they are on 2-hr loan only) book to photocopy readings on Friday. Happily satisfied with my capability of photocopying double-sided (I'm a technical idiot. Period.), I went to return the book via the bookdrop or whatever they call that machine. Last morning, the loans dept sent me a notice stating that the book is long overdue, and the fine for late return is - guess what? $1 per hour! I've chalked up more than 60 bucks of fine by now... WTF! I've sent an email back for them to make a verification, but i still receive another notice this morning. Infuriating. These people are just testing my tolerance level.
Life sucks.
