Stress!!!

So, just found out about an hour ago that one of the girls in my group for my New Media class deferred her studies for this semester…a month and a half ago, and only decided to tell us now. A week before the group assignment is due.

ARGH!!!!!!

Okay, so it’s somewhat our fault as well, as we didn’t check in with her after she stopped attending class (actually, she only ever attended two classes), but the group was still discussing our assessment via group emails…surely, it wouldn’t have been that difficult for her to hit ‘reply all’ and say “sorry guys, I’m no longer in your class”??? She sent me an sms full of attitude saying that she’d informed the other group members and our tutor of this weeks ago…but after I spoke to all involved parties today, NOBODY had any idea that she’d gone!

*cue panicky yodelling and repeated bashing of head against table*

It’ll be fine. Really. I’m just going to curl up in my bed with a hot water bottle and mug of chai tea and try to repress this urge to hunt the moo-face down and beat her to death. With a rubber halibut.

*wails* where’s a stick of butter when you need one? I need to bake comfort foods!

Hi Ellie! I hope you get through this without too much stress involved soon! I went through the same exact thing years ago when I was in college.. had a huge marketing assignment due and TWO of my team members dropped the class without letting anyone know so we had a lot of making up for them to do.. but it ended up okay and I’ve cursed them repeatedly so I felt better hehe

I’m sorry I haven’t commented sooner.. I’ve been checking out your site for the past week or so and I really like it.. after your cupcake post I was secretly hoping you’d go for the profriteroles - I was so happy to see you did! lol Definitely going to give them a try one of these days =)

Good luck with your assignment! If I had your mailing address, I’d send off a good pound of butter to help you make it through! hehe

Hi Lisa!

I’ll start the gushing with - I love your dogs, and I love your blog! I cringed through the entries about the poor puppies being sick, am so happy for you and them that the exploding diahorrea is no more!

As for the assignment, I’m sure we’ll be fine, I’m speaking with the lecturer on Wednesday and hopefully we’ll be able to organise something.

I’m very touched that you like my site Hopefully I’ll be able to keep it updated, though the next two months could be a struggle due to study Oh well!

Thanks for the offer of butter I managed to find a small knob of it in the back of the butter tray…not enough to bake with, but enough to make buttered garlicky mushrooms on rye toast, yum!

I had buttered fieldies just a day ago, sans garlic, on ridiculously high grained wholemeal, one slice au nauturel, one with a big swab of Danish fetta. The Fetta won.

Hi Wench. I’m Dollop.
I don’t do smileys.

Oooo, I’ve had some brilliant fettas, but unfortunately never have much luck when I purchase it. Of course, it’d probably help if I knew something about cheese other than it usually comes from cow-juice. Mmmm…

Hi Dollop, nice to meet you - and glad to see that not all the food-bloggers are overseas

P.S. I’m a smiley addict.
