The Media Production Rant

As should be obvious by now, I'm suffering from a severe case of blogger's block. Nothing really interesting seems to be happening around here lately, except for the good news that most likely only I care about, namely that I still have a half decent GPA, despite the math and physics fiascos. It's amazing how some courses can be sailed through with minimum effort and I could get a B or B+ for my trouble, while in others you work your ass off but get horrible grades.

Today was unofficially the last day of the university for this semester, not counting the Comprehensive exam later on this month. Today was also the submission of the Media Production project. Nearly three fourths of the class got their made by the assistant to the teacher, which pisses me off a great deal since only myself and two or three other kids did their own and it shows, but not in a good way. The guy's obviously a professional, otherwise he wouldn't have landed the job and when he works with a software the rest of us only learnt the basics of a month ago, he's going to produce some great effects. I don't know what pisses me off more, the fact that the assistant literally made the entire project for loads of people or that the teacher didn't notice the professional look and call them on it. That and I was one of the few people who had the possibility of an A in this course, but now, with the projects accounting for 80% of the grade, nearly everyone gets an A, thanks to projects they did not make. That deserves a rant, don't you think?
