scarier by the day..........

i am sort of getting more and more afraid of myself as i am getting scarier and scarier by the day. i notice lately that i am willing to do whatever that is needed to achieve my target, legally or illegally. i am really afraid of what i will be doing in the future just to get things done...........

all this become so so obvious because of the society i am involved in. after almost 2 years of study, suddenly i automatically become the secretary of the society. and since i am part of the commitee who only held the post for the past few weeks, not much activity could be done, especially lead by a extra 'effective' chairperson. With just about 8 committee members which includes 3 sleeping ones (1 of them did virtually nothing and another 2 did nothing at all) and only about 5-6 weeks of time, the workload is quite heavy and the pressure is mountaining.

we only manage to organise a visit to a robotic competition. this trip is sort of a failure and a success. failure in which only 11 participants went for the trip and the successful part is we manage to get everything done within one week. with so many formalities to follow in this college, organising any event need real good planning and all applications need to be put 12 working days in advance. the greatest part of the event is out of the 5 non-sleeping and 1 virtually sleeping commitee members, the virtually sleeping one 放飞机 at the last minute. giving a lame excuses of a burst tyre. and the chairman who is an expert in giving instructions but does nothing is not present, giving yet another stupid excuse.

another annual general meeting suppoesed to be held last week. i sent in the application earlier and book the society room. however, there is some problem and the director of the student affairs department want to see the chairperson. Unsuprisingly, the chairperson is too afraid to meet him and instead of solving the problem, he doesnt even want to meet him. few days before the planned day, he told us that it will be cancelled without any information when will it be actually held.

so everyone wait and wait. and my chance of getting the certificate for my post is getting slimmer by the day. as that is the main aim of becoming the secretary of this society, i did all the application of the certificates by myself and my assistant secretary. we did not even discussed it with the 无聊chair without person and went straight directly to the advisor.

for this application, we forged his signature for a few times because there is some minor minor mistakes in the application letter until it was noticed by the advisor luckily, he is an easy-going man and he knows that we really want the certificates badly. i even dropped the names for the 2 commitee members. after making all the corrections and get the head of school approval, the application letter is finally sent in. Job done.

then around 3pm, i received a phone call from the college, asking me to submit documents about the new commitee members. with the chairperson no where to be seen and no news about the AGM, how am i going to get the supporting documents for my certificates?

again, we went straight to the advisor to discuss about it and setting the date on this coming friday. all this should be done by the chairperson and we as the secretaries set everything by ourselves. thanks God there is not much problems with the advisors as he is easy to compromise.

hopefully the juniors is still here and will be able to attend the AGM this friday......with all the supporting documents available by then, hopefully i will be able to get the certificates before i leave the college.

hopefully all the illegal stuff wont repeat itself again..................
