I’ve always ranted about how my department has made me lose faith in their ability to deliver because of their constant postponement of every event they organize. Well, today, my school itself just redefined disappointment. I am FURIOUS.
Remember the final year defense I said I did today in my hive goals and strategies to achieve them? It turns out, I jinxed it. Hilarious right.
This is a our FINAL presentation and to make things worse, the notice only came out this morning.
❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗Dear Students,
Be aware that due to the UTAG strike action which takes effect from today, 17th October, the final defence presentation is temporarily halted. This means that the next line of action shal be communicated to students. Please, wait for the next instructions!!!!!
Apologies for any inconveniences as we cannot go against the stance by UTAG, Ghana!
Regards
Project co-ordinators
This was the notice we got from our department. THIS MORNING. AN HOUR TO START OF THE PRESENTATION.
Early birds would’ve been at the venue already to get settled in and wait for the rest of us late comers to arrive. Man on days like this, you’re just glad you’re a late comer.
Finally, my consistency might be hindered by unforeseen events such as inactivity due to illness or like I mentioned, a busy work schedule in my National Service workplace.
Lol now I feel like a prophet saying this only 4 hours ago. I’ve never been mad to be right as now. FUCK!
Our graduation has already been delayed by 4 months and on the day we wrap everything up and call it done, this comes up, please😤
Since this year started, it’s been strike upon strike upon strike. They come back, and give you long enough until you’re just about to become a student again, and bam! they strike again.
Everyone is confused now. A handful of people (including me) believe and hopes there won’t actually be a postponement. That this will mean that we’ll simply submit our complete project works via email and head home. Then there’s the hopeless minority who believe we’ll have to stay on campus until lecturers return from their strike and schedule a new date for the project defense.
We thought it all ends today. But the universe gave us a big middle finger.
