Why must overseas trips which should be frickin exciting seeing as though they're my reason to live be preceded by so much goddam stress.
I absolutely ABHOR group work at uni. Fucking white males that take over and want everything their way. Yes honey, we would all like it our own way as well. (Especially if you get HDs in individual assignments.) Apparently marketing specialisations always have group work in every subject. I would like to write to the faculty and beg them to let me do my own work. I'm sure that they'd argue the old excuse that it's good for team work skills. And also I guess in the real world in marketing you can't have everything your way either. Next semester I have decided to choose my group very, very carefully. It is going to be all-female and small so that there aren't ideas flying around everywhere that can't be put together and white chauvinist male arseholes who ignore you.
Next semester I'll be doing International Marketing in Asia, and Marketing Communications and Promotions. The Asia one will hopefully provide some insight into what my company can do because at the moment the Taiwanese and Koreans refuse to pay our prices even though plenty of them are as wealthy as the Europeans who form 80% of our client base.
I wish I could study PR just for fun. Working in it would of course be hard. I would never be able to do what that guy in Thankyou for Smoking did for a living - he was able to find excellent arguments for everything.
God I just can't wait till this terrible barrage of group work assignments (a.k.a. my degree) is over. I should sue the uni for emotional trauma after being in one too many nightmare-inducing groups. I think I'd have a case.
I'm hungry. ¶ 15:46
