that we had little time to practise. However, I seriously thought that some people's attitude SUCKED, and I will not TOLERATE such of these nonsense. I will not name any names but I hope you know who you are AND I hope the class knows who you are. I'm terribly disappointed by the way *some* people were:
1) Kept quiet throughout. Who the heck do you think you are? You have to do this for your class, whether you like it or NOT. If you didn't want to make an effort for the class and then you should have stopped trying to act as though you were so darn interested in the whole issue. The cheering competition, was NOT a good time to train your budding acting skills, sad to say.
2) Embarassed and ashamed. Hey excuse me, who were the ones who REFUSED to give comments or PROPER suggestions for the cheers? Do you not remember when we had the meetings, most people simply sat down there, smiling sweetly or just keeping their mouth shut. If you actually had some suggestions to make, then you should have voiced them out. What happened? Most people didn't. That's why we had actions that weren't suited to your taste, yar, and I'm like so, so, so sorry to make you people feel ashamed and embarassed.
3) Not really cheering, but instead, reading out a overly enthusiastic passage. What do you think it is? Oral? Hah! Lines too long, so difficult. If it was so difficult, why were some people able to CHEER it out? Do you know that many many people came to me and told me, "Ariel, your class weren't really cheering; they were reading" or, "Your class was good but I only saw some people shouting". Look here, I supposed it was class effort yet I had only a few people CHEERING properly. Is this supposed to be a late April Fools' joke? Well, you're extremely wrong. I clearly remembered that before the cheering comp, I reminded all of you to cheer and OPEN YOUR MOUTH. Seems like some people were even happily smiling away. Too bad these weren't smiles of assurance, these smiles probably contained some ludicrous and grotesque meaning!
4) Secretly BITCHING about the actions & the cheer itself. For goodness's sake we've known each other for 10 months already! If you are unhappy about the cheer or actions, say it out. Thrash it out, spit it out, whatever, just get your message across. You don't need to whisper to your close friend/buddy and get them to agree. You could have just put your point across during the meeting when we discussed for the actions. Apparently, you chose otherwise.
If this entry by me has made you fed-up, seriously angry & made you nod your head, this entry has served it's original purpose to make EVERYONE, especially those people who did those ridiculous things, reflect on what they had truly done. And if you're not happy with me, just say it out. I definitely know that the deadline was very tight but we HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO BE COOPERATIVE AND WORK WITH TIGHT SCHEDULES. I hope to see an IMPROVEMENT in every single one's attitude, including mine, for the I.U day on 20 October. I'm not taking this as a personal opportunity to attack whoever I don't like in class. I just want *some* people to realised that they have an attitude problem. Change it before it's too late. Go reflect.
