Strange how perceptions work. Take this for example, okay --- I go to school as a part-time student pursuing my Masters. In the classes that I've signed up for this semester, there are some PhD students as well.
Last Thursday was a due date and what does the PhD student who is seated next to me in class ask? --- "Is the assignment due today?" I said, "Yes" and then she asks, "What is the assignment?" and I show her the assignment brief that was given to all of us in the class during the first class. And then she asks me, "Have you done it?" and I say, "Yes" and then she asks me if she can see my assignment --- and we're talking about a PhD student here!!! What is becoming of the world, I can't help but wonder. And mind you, that is not the end... I quickly flip through my assignment (I didn't want to be seen unhelpful though I didn't think it was appropriate for her to ask to see my assignment when she has not started working on hers!!!) and then she says to me, "Don't hand it in" --- Yeah right! I slaved through it while juggling a full time job and I have a FULL TIME PhD student telling me not to hand in my work because it will make her look bad!!!
Sigh... why do people think they want to pursue higher learning when they can't organize themselves???
