I'm not usually the kind to complain, but I have to put this down in writing.
I am so ANGRY right now, I could spit! I was suppose to work on a project for school with this woman as my partner. We've known about it for a couple of weeks. Nothing big, but something I didn't know how to do yet. (A PowerPoint presentation). My so called partner told me, don't worry, I know PP, I'll show you how to do it. Two weeks ago I gave her my number and e-mail address and told her to contact me asap so we could arrange a time either at school or she had suggested at her home to meet and work on it. She NEVER contacted me. I didn't panic, the instructor had told us we would have an entire class to work on it. We did; last Tuesday. Well, guess who didn't come to class? I was away for a few days and discovered she had called, NOT to schedule a time to work on our project but to ask me if I could assist her in getting to class. (She's in a wheelchair.) I didn't get the her message until I got home Wednesday afternoon. Meanwhile, I had spoke with the instuctor and asked if I could do a project of my own just in case Kristin didn't contact me. She said that would be fine. On Wednesday, Kristin tells me the time she is available to get together. I am not available at any of these times. I called the instructor to inform her of the situation. Today I recieve an e-mail from the instructor suggesting that I make time and if Kristin and I do individual presentations our grade will reflect that. And then I recieve an e-mail from Kristin stating when she can get together Monday or Tuesday BEFORE class after I've already explained to her that I can't. IF I cancel an appointment I have Monday afternoon, I can meet with her then.
I am so ANGRY and disgusted at the entire situation. I'm angry at Kristin for not being more cooperative, I'm angry at the instructor for not being more understanding, and I'm angry at myself for not being more agressive in getting the project completed. I HATE DEPENDING ON ANOTHER PERSON FOR MY GRADE!!!
Thanks for listening. I feel better now.
