Traumatised

It all ended today. I've completed presenting my dissertation late this afternoon, it was HELL.I thought I would enjoy this moment, since it's the last thing I need to do to get my certificate, but NO, the whole thing had to be sooooo UNORGANISED -very IRRESPONSIBLE of UM.

Let me tell you what happened. I arrived 30 minutes earlier, to find my friend presenting to a class of PHD students (her supervisor was on MC) who later bombared her with anal questions which left her feeling like a helpless chick, surrounded by a pack of wolves. I gave my supervisor a call to confirm if she's around and she said, ya she'll be coming. Fine. When it was my turn, she was no where to be found. Wasted 30 minutes waiting for the frontdesk to call her, then I got fed up and gave her a ring on my mobile. She said she can't make it, she thought it was tomorrow and asked if I could reschedule it. HELLO, I'm not the organiser and no way am I going to sort out this mess, since I didn't start it. Haihz, can't really blame her- the darn Uni (mind my language) only sent out the schedule last Friday afternoon, and I was shock to find out that my slot is TODAY (after previously confirming with the office that the slots will only start Tuesday onwards). After much seeking, I got a replacement Supervisor, who is this Professor (who I didn't catch his name) and he gave me such a hard time during the whole presentation! Stopping me in between slides, asking me in depth question on some statistical thingy which of cause I do not know- lucky I have the 2nd examiner helping me to answer along the way (which he was not surpose too, lucky I shared the slides with him before hand so he sort of know what is going on). My other friends who were surpose to present after me were shaking in their pants, some rolling their eyes! Yes, its THAT BAD. The misery ended beyond my allocated 20 minutes (I think it took 40 minutes, felt like forever) and it was too late to go Putrajaya to apply for ROM. It was truely dissappointing :(

updates (12/06 Tues)- My supervisor called me today to apologise. She explained that lately she been busy and disorganised, hence forgotten. OK. Apparantly, her other student who was surpose to present after me, was scared off by the remarks of the stand in professor, she decided to escape n reschedule to another day. DARN. Wish I had that luxury!! She had to rub it in by saying that this professor is famous for giving PHD students a hard time (pity me, I'm only doing my MBA...). Was reassured that he has a sharp tongue but may be generous with his grading (the word is 'may', no guarantee). She better give me high marks to cover up this mess :P
