I have decided I do not care. About any of it. I am going to write a dissertation. I am going to work my ass off at Collections Trust (hopefully) to prove to myself I am just that good. And then I am going to go back to a country that is the only one keeping its head above the water and to a job industry that actually has jobs available and to a career that is based on organization and not on who got the best mark.

Gods, why did I do this degree? It's going to be completely useless in the long run. I could have just spent the 12 months working my way up within a museum or gone back to admin work and be making lots of money. Instead, I paid £10,000 pounds to a department that doesn't know what its doing to get another piece of paper to hang on my parents' basement wall that is not worth the ink it was printed in.

If I hadn't paid them, I'd say screw the dissertation and take the diploma, since it's just as useless. But the bastards have my money.

Today I hate the UK. It's turned me into a whinging bitch 24/7. Or maybe it's just Leicester.

she has penalised me for not using discursive footnotes

Same here. What the hell is their problem with footnotes?!?!

Viv penalized me for writing on what Suzanne had already agreed with me I would write on (and what case studies I would use) too. And when I went to her and to talk to her she said 'I'm very tired. Talk to Gus.' WHAT THE BLOODY HELL KIND OF ANSWER IS THAT?

She was unable to justify the mark she gave me, so yes, she marked them on a whim.

Don't care. Don't care. Don't care.

Yes she told me she was very tired too. Sorry, so I am, that's not good enough. And Gus is a waste of time and space.

They have serious issues on footnotes here. No consistency at all. I'm particularly pissed off for being penalised for things that had been okayed with Suzanne, which obiviously you had happen too.

I've emailed Jon and Jenny as our SSTLC reps, and Jon is going to try and gather info from people who are angry or upset and want to make a complaint so that he can go to the dept with a large amount of info not just individual cases. You could always email him rather than wait for his email.

Thanks. I was going to talk to Jenny tomorrow, but if Jon's doing the collecting I will email him. I actually have a long list of complaints composed from over the course of the last few months.

I am seeing Gus at 12:15 tomorrow, because seeing him in person is better then bitching to him via email. I am going to go through the channels as much as possible.
