this is going to be one hell of a ranting post.

i have the best project mate ever.
very nice, very smart, very very responsible.
i thank you for telling me that we all ought to start asap,
and disappear for two weeks after that,
and after which, the day before we are supposed to hand in the work,
plop down a new piece of work thats really good
and say 'surprise'!
and look really serious.
and of course, while the past two weeks me and her have been trying to contact u,
and we started slogging for nights,
u of course were preparing this surprise for us.
i thank you for your kindness and sweetness.
you really shouldnt have.

and of course, just when u compile all the work
(the work of ur surprise, plus me and her frantic work)
of course our work pales in comparison to yours;
we never had any intentions of surprises,
we just wanted to save the butts of three of us.
u of course were sweet enough to think about how we felt.
and u wanted to pass this compilation on to us to edit it and rephrase all the words
and asks us to send to you to see if it has what u wanted to express...
u disappear to another part of the world
u never ask for the work
but its alright
u already give us such a pleasant surprise didnt u?
plus, u signed off with 'love';
what else could i ask for?

and very importantly
when i frantically cant get to sleep cos i got freaking many projects to rush
and i manage to finish collating all 28 pages of hard work
of not sleeping, of not even having enough time for other work,
and the printing shop uncle, while binding my thick pile of work,
destroyed the edges accidentally and in the end i had to photocopy my work
cos of the long Queue, i didnt have time to print again
i mean its all fine - ur surprise is enough to last me thru the weeks
no binding errors could spoil my day.
even if the edges of my binded work fell apart and i had to staple them
amidst half open eyes,
no worries, man.


and when i stepped into the prof's room
he gave me a quizzical look and asked if our grp had problems
and that u had written to him and said u were doing a report
whilst we had already expressed our concern that the previous one me and her was quite out of tangent.
wow.
is that ur second surprise?
is that why when i was rushing my butt off last nite
i cant get u on ur phone?
cant get ur matric number or ur bibliography?

ur phone is switched off still.
and my prof was so nice to ask me if i wanted him to send u a note that we had already handed in the copy.
and he asked me if this was all three of our work. equal?
i said yes.

one wrong (or many surprises, for ur case) does not beget another wrong
i dont see the point in telling on you
cos at least i believe in integrity in work

if u find this funny
if u find that u love giving surprises at the last freaking minute
please have the basic courtesy to tell us.
u freaking screwed up my day.
