I'm Very. Annoyed.

Okay Okay I know I said I wouldn't post. But something really INFURIATING happened just now and I just HAD to vent, so here it is. (or maybe it's just my excuse to take a break from studying ?)

 As you know, this is my exam period, which means I'm cramming in as much revision time as possible. I'm already short on time with all my extracurricular stuff and jazz exam and speech festival competitions and whatnot, but this exhibition for art that I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to do cropped up. The exhibit was due tomorrow since there was a truck coming to pick everything up, so I dashed to art class to finish my project even though I wanted to stay home and revise.
AFTER I finished the freaking project and was real pleased with myself, the instructor told me that because I had been absent for quite some time before (I skipped some classes to cram in more revision time), she didn't think I'd be able to complete it today, and so she hadn't planned on me participating in this exhibition after all. Seriously?! After I'd worked from 11.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. non-stop and actually COMPLETING the project, she tells me that I can't do the exhibit?! I'm angry (and fatigued - but a douse of coffee solved that problem).

The reason was because I had only coated one layer of paint, whereas some other people who weren't absent as much as me the previous few times had time to coat two layers. One layer of paint is apparently "not thick enough". GRRRRR!! This is my EXAM period I'm talking about. I basically wasted 5.5 hours working on some art that could have been done AFTER my exams!
I'm pissed that I can't do the exhibit. And about the fact that the instructor only told me I couldn't do it after I'd completed the project. She had suggested after a few hours that I give up trying to make it, but when I said I really wanted to take part, she just nodded and let me work my butt off for another 2 hours! That's sneaky. I'd rather she told me straight off, before I even started working on the project, that I wasn't even going to be in the exhibition. Such a cow. (Sorry can't resist)
 The instructor told me that she'd wait and see how things turn out and that she'd slot my thing in if possible, but I don't want to "wait and see." I want a guarantee.
GOSH I'm mad. Anyways, crossmyfingers I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that some miracle will happen or someone will intervene and get my project onto the exhibition!!! I do not want this to be the first year in which I do not participate in an exhibition.
Anyway. -Rant over - I'll be posting the pics of the project up after I get it back. UGH. Oh and I'm not going to be posting for a few weeks cuz it's exams, unless something as infuriating as this pops up again and I just HAVE to post.

  2. Wow, that is one mean instructor. I would be seriously pissed off if she told me that. I would stand there, fuming, fists balled up, indescribable face of horror, disbelief and beyond pissed-offness. "Oh, I didn't get you a spot because I didn't expect you to do it."

    I think you have every right to be pissed off. I would be right there with you.

    Good blog post by the way! You're getting the hang of it! Great job! Can't wait to see your project!!
