Monday:Ah damn I love mondays. This is the time when students are just back from weekends, when they do nothing but slack and play frisbee and forget to do my beloved PW.
Today was supposed to be the day when groups come up to present their GPPs in front of their classes so that their classmates can ask them questions to undermine their efforts and tensions rise and the whole class spirit gets destroyed. But this is what PW is all about because it mirrors the real world out there and tensions always rise in the working world and we must always try our best to keep our calm and work with all the people around us, and so the students must bear with it as well.
But the students told me that I did not tell them the presentation was on today. Bloody buggers. So I handsomely fired back a retort and said that PW is all about working on deadlines because it mirrors the real working world where your boss is always breathing down your neck, especially if you are his female secretary, and told them to give an impromptu presentation. But I shot all of their ideas down because I am too intelligent to comprehend any of them.

Today I totally demolished a group's GPP by saying that it was based loosely on assumptions.
Student leader who thinks he's damn smart: But sir, what assumptions did we make?
Me, The Overlord Supreme of all your As in project work which will guarantee your entry into NUS law faculty: I don't know, assumptions.
Student leader who does not think he's smart anymore: OMGWTFBBQ.
Me, The Lord Man King of whom the tennis girls worship: That's another grade down for swearing in front of my holy face.
You should have seen how his team mates demolished him after my demolition.
WednesdayI did not have any lessons on today. Damn. But I did have consultation sessions, where more groups came up to me to have their ideas worked on by me. Today, this particular group came up to me and asked what they could do to improve on their project. Their GPP was 5 pages long, so I told them, "Good news! This is longer than the thesis I did at university, so I'm pretty sure that you have to give less money than me in order to get your A." before making my grand exit.
ThursdaySome overpowered group actually went ahead with their idea and are already doing their survey! This cannot do, because they are supposed to only start on their surveys and interviews during the June Holidays because only then can they fully suffer during their holidays along with the CT muggings! Curses! Fortunately, I had the ultimate solution in hand. During the consultation period, I went to that group and said, "Don't do surveys, it is not reliable."
"But Sir, what about the EoM? Isn't it supposed to be done with the surveys?"
"Oh you are doing a great job, don't worry about it."
"Then what do we use for the EoM?"
How persistent! I could not shrug this student off at all, but I cannot neglect the great job of the PW teacher, who is supposed to mirror the real working life during classes! So I told the student,
"I don't think your idea is good. It has too many loopholes and uses too many assumptions, and worst of all, you cannot conduct a survey with your project, and we all know how important surveys are in PW. Rework your idea and let me see it next week."
Friday
Today is happy day! I received my paycheck of SGD18000! Apparently I earn $1000 for every CANNOT to every group I say. Coincidentally, I mentor 18 groups. There must be a pattern somewhere but I cannot see it. I wonder what this means.
