queen, projectors and idiots

tomorrow is the queen's birthday! therefore, australia still being under the rule of the queen[in name only though. she's the figurehead...], it is a holiday! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, cause thanks to her, i don't have to wake up at a godforsaken hour and drag myself to school. so, once again, God save the queen! cause if He doesn't, there won't be a holiday. i shall express my gratitude by saying this:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE QUEEN. know that because of the fact that you exist, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis [yes, this is copied straight off wiki] get a holiday. so, thanks and have a nice birthday!

i have my eap due soon, my presentation that is. which reminds me that there is a dismal lack of projectors in trinity. [note that you are entering a ranting zone] you would expect that each student paying $60 a lesson would be enough to cover the cost of a few projectors in classrooms but NO, we have only one projector that has to be brought to the classroom that we are using. the projector happens to be compatible with only an ancient laptop that trinity has and the group that was presenting brought a mac. so the file was unopenable by that ancient thing and miranda threw a fit. well, its not our fault trinity doesn't buy more projectors/newer projectors. all the singaporeans and malaysians were complaining. we all are used to projectors in each room we enter so we expect these damned things to work, besides, we always back up our work by storing it in our email inbox, so don't act like we're a bunch of idiots who have never worked with this kind of technology and expect everything to go smoothly. the campus doesn't have wireless. we all know you're bloody condescending but seriously, if you ever go to singapore, peel your eyelids back a bit further and look at the level of technology that even the secondary schools possess. then maybe you'll understand better. OHPs [yes, we're using that now] are so last decade. nobody uses them anymore except for megan who used it as a lightbox last year. for crying out loud, get it into your racist head that we are not idiots. so don't treat us like kindergarteners and ask us to repeat after you "i lost my keys, i scraped my knees!"

OH WELL. some people...
