SHIT MY SCHOOL SYSTEM! PISSED OFF.

SHIT (Or you can insert any foul word here of your own) MY SCHOOL SYSTEM! I am damn pissed off at this moment till I can bite anyone's head OFF! ANYONE!

This was what happened:

I was waiting eagerly and ANXIOUSLY for the minute hand on the clock to tick... AND FINALLY-after waiting for what seemed to be forever-, 2pm arrived. Feeling an instant sensation of anxiety, I rushed into my school system to register for my elective module a.k.a GEMS. (We need to register for it via internet in order to snatch the places for the class we desire.)

I had been waiting and standing by my laptop since 12pm+ to wait for this moment. (I even set an alarm for this!) BUT GOODNESS-GRACIOUS-OH-MY-GOD, IT TURNED OUT THAT I WAS BARRED FROM TAKING THE ELECTIVE MODULE! Yes, the elective module that I have always been aiming for since AGES ago. So... ... I went through all the hassle of waiting and rushing for NOTHING?! *starts throwing vulgarities*

To add insult to injury, it dawned upon me that NEITHER the school nor any lecturer from my course gave any advanced informing. What kind of disorganized system is this? I know I FAILED (and there's nothing to be proud about.) TWO OF MY CORE MODULES, and my timetable may slightly differ from others. BUT I DID NOT EXPECT THAT I WOULD BE BARRED FROM TAKING ELECTIVE MODULES! Its something that EVERY STUDENT must register for. And imagine my shock and horror when a pop-out window prompted me, telling me that I have already registered for my GEMS. (In my mind, I was like... REGISTERED? WHEN DID I?!)

Hastily, I went back to the main page where it was supposed to show my successfully registered GEMS, and DISCOVERED that the two titles of my flunked core modules were in replacement of my supposed GEMS title. And that only means one thing.

Game over.

It means that these 2 modules which I had flunked in my last semester are back to haunt me, AND horror of horrors-RIP ME FROM MY RIGHTS OF HAVING A GEMS CLASS. Do you know that even my slightest motivation to attend school is gone by now? Honestly speaking, GEMS is the only external module which I believe most students MAY enjoy as we would get to study something irrelevant to our course. (This, to me, is more of a benefit.) But what a pity, this benefit does not cater to me at all now.

AND the main thing that pissed, and- STILL PISSES-me off is the "heck-care" attitude from my school. Please, if failing core modules mean that we won't be able to take up GEMS, at least a notification (be it by e-mail or SMS) is necessary right? I wouldn't be as pissed if I were informed beforehand about this matter. AND ITS NOT UNTIL I WASTED SO MUCH TIME ON THIS, then you threw the truth onto my face like a SPIT. AND what a joke, the school EVEN issued me appointment timings and dates, requesting me to log in and "snatch" my GEMS places.

Hello, *knock knock* If I do NOT have the privilege in taking GEMS to begin with, what's with the appointment timings and dates? Does it even matter? You could have written, "Barred", or whichever note(s) you deem fit.

This is so ridiculous, and my blood is boiling hot now. In fact, I feel so... ... cheated. Yes, cheated by my school. My course. Everything. Asking me to register for something that I do not have the rights to. Its heart-wrenching, even. You know how hurtful it is to witness the places of the class VANISHING right before your very eyes-one by one- within seconds, and yet I could do nothing about it when I WOULD'VE been one of the successful applicants? It hurts to even think about it.

Forget it. Just treat it as I am currently facing one of the usual obstacles in my life. Pinning hopes high indeed hurt more than what I had thought. As the chinese saying goes, "The higher you pin your hopes, the more you will face disappointment." Seems like this saying isn't false at all.

Thank you, Singapore Polytechnic and my course, for bringing me so much agony and sadness.
