I need a Fucking miracle
April 30, 2013 at 6:00 am
I am at Uni and Assignments being a part of daily life, however I have 2 Assignments I need to complete for this Monday and 1 is a group Project Assignment which has dead weights and were effectively screwed with only a chance to pass which I might have to do It most of it myself. So Its going to be long nights and longer days, maybe even all nighters (because I don't trust 1/2 my group) while juggling my other assignment. So if there is a god or a deity out there and he is not a complete douche, I could use a hand.
And I don't think Praying is going to help either.

This monday? You have a week to do 2 assignments?
Brah, that's plenty of time, I don't do any assignment until 12 hours before it's due, and I walk away with 80's. Coffee/red bull helps.

That's 2 assignments with research and project work for maybe at least 2 -4 people if they (my group) don't pick up the slack.

Don't want to be a rat, but you can discuss this problem with your professor. Perhaps the prof will separate your grade from the rest of the group's.
I had a group project in college where we had to do a research paper. I offered to compile all the papers because I was the sole native English speaker. When it came down to doing the work, every other group member's "paper" had been directly cut and pasted from various Internet sources. I talked to the group about it, no one had a problem with plagerism, except me. So I reported it. Makes me a rat? Or a person who stands up for academic integrity? Don't know, but the professor did separate my grade from the rest of the team's. Food for thought.

Hahahahahahaha bro, lemme tell ya about being fucked with coursework.
I've got until the 3rd of May to complete an entire app for android (the game breakout if you must know) and redesign an entire website in HTML.
You think you're fucked? LOL.

I had a similar scenario to this last semester. There's 5 of us in a group and 2 of us (well, them) decided to put in fuck all amount of effort. The one guy left me to design a website on my own, the other plagiarised word for word content off a random website for an essay he was supposed to do a part of, the funny thing was it didn't even relate to what we were supposed to be doing.
We went to our lecturer and told him, but to be honest I think our lecturer is a massive vagina. We still received a shitty grade and he had the audacity to say that we were 'ganging up' on the other two members.
Which is why I hate group work. Always ends up like this:

Unfortunately Nap is correct! Listening to my daughter's complaints regarding "group assignments" you will just have to bite the bullet and get off this forum and do the work.
Good luck hun, hope you get at least a credit....oh and don't forget to sign EVERYTHING you do with your name.
 yeah I'm ebil!

If you need supernatural help I would recommend making a deal at the crossroads. If god exists he has already proven himself to be a complete douche by creating the ineffectual twats and making you part of their group.

It makes you a person who refuses to be victimized by lazy dead-ends.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
