Greatest Failure of My Life

So, the thesis I've been working on for 4 months had flaws that I was unable to defend, and caused me to fail the subject. Good thing it was in the nature of our panel of judges to give us a chance to make some revisions to our paper and resubmit it on January. This of course, comes with an additional fee.



Which brings us to the topic about my group. Apparently, some of our members had some disputes about the judges. One side said they are just taking us for cash cows, the other says that we don't have enough evidence to say that.

Well, a thing to consider is the details of the resubmission of our thesis. We are to re-enroll the subject, but this time we won't get an instructor to advise us in creating our paper. We're to be left to our own devices, even though we are going to pay for the tuition. Smells fishy, doesn't it?

Another point is that, when the judges were explaining this to us, they skipped a lot of the important details. Being a careful guy, I asked a lot of questions regarding these details. And when they felt that the conversation isn't going the way they want, they said, "We're the one asking questions here? So are you going to accept this chance or not?". Well, at that point, I looked at the faces of my group, all looking like Christmas came early. And I'm thinking to myself, "What a bunch of idiots I got for a group." We're being force fed crap, and they were all too happy to accept it.

But, as they say, the majority wins. My group wanted to take the chance offered to us. I just hope nothing bites us in the end.


Then again, maybe I'm really just on a bias here, since I'm feeling contempt against the judges and want to think bad things about them for not letting us pass the subject.
