I'm currently in my 2nd year of Poly. As we all know, Poly life
is project after project and there are leeches abound. 1 a chinese
guy Mr. Personality whom I worked with in both semesters of my 1st
year in poly,he's proven to be a total leech. The sort whom will
not come for project meetings, not do his share of the project work
and even has the guts to say this," Project grades everyone get the
same, what for I put in so much effort?"He spends the time studying
for the tests and exams at home while we slog in school and burn
late into not the night, but morning arriving in school damn shag
because we only had like 1/2hrs of sleep.
The other guy, Mr.Religious, is persistently absent from project
meetings because he has to go to mosque (we excuse that) and that
he has to work to make ends meet at home. Though I understand that
Muslim males have to go to the mosque for prayers every Friday, he
goes everyday,is there such a law/rule?I mean balls man, in poly,
there are many people like that and I don't see them being unable
to cope with schoolwork. To set the record straight, I'm also
working for my allowance, bills,books etc. So I don't see why he is
shagged and I'm not. I always make it a priority to finish the
projects as I'm the group leader and its my responsibility to make
sure everything is in perfect order as I'm responsible for 4 the
results of 4 other souls. Also, we ran a business selling beachwear
as a project assignment, is there such an Islamic law/rule which
says that guys cannot touch bikinis? As he refuses to help with the
packing ,stock take of the bikinis, but yet...he bought a bikini
for his girlfriend during the sourcing period. So any Muslim
friends here,please answer the above.
Having booted the two of them out,the remaining groupmembers
consists of 3 girls. The 2 leeches were pretty confident in the 1st
week that other groups will accept them, but none were willing to
take them in. So they had to beg the tutors for help. Upon learning
this, the 3 girls were full of sympathy and we ended up quarrelling
over the 2 leeches which I feel is totally not worth spoiling the
good working relationship we have. They were saying that the 2 of
them know their mistakes and are willing to repent, but that I'm
not giving them a chance to. But the thing is, they have proven
time and again that they are persistent leeches and when they got
kicked out, the sob story will flow. I'm trying to do the right
thing as a group leader to keep the 2 of them out, so that we can
go further and acheive more rather then be hindered by the 2
leeches. But they are insisting that I take them in and give them a
chance to repent, thing is, they already had 3 semesters to repent,
so why have they not done so. And if others are not willing to
accept them, doesn't that show that I'm not biases nor prejudiced
towards them but being objective and professional about work?
Sighz...I really need people to talk to...doing whats Right and
whats Accepted is really tearing me apart.
