Fucked up school called SMU.
I don’t pay several thousand per semester for a school that claims itself to have world class IT infrastructure only to have it …
(1) Lock me out of my school email.
(And I have several stuff in there which I needed to access urgently at 4 A.M.)
(2) Lock me out of SMUVista.
(The course portal containing all my course material.)
(3) Lock me out of OASIS.
(Where I have to BID for next semester’s courses in the coming week.)
(4) Lock me out of the school network altogether.
(Which means I can’t do any shit in school right now involving research, and the guest network is just sloooooooooow.)
Needless to say, I am utterly pissed because I have had absolutely no sleep last night, and I have a presentation in slightly more than two hours and I CAN’T access the material that I need, and my slides are still incomplete.
The best part? I am fucking giddy (stupid tachycardia - heart palpitations all over again) and can’t concentrate.
Oh, and yes. Fuck SMU’s IT infrastructure.
EDITED @ 11.25 A.M.
Plus, I certainly didn’t stay up all night (at the expense of my already dwindling health) to work on the friggin’ presentation comprising content which took up a week’s worth of sweat and tears for today - only to get whacked left, right and center by the biased professor.
Bloody hell. And I actually had interest in this module in the first place … which got completely killed after today.
Plus, don’t expect everyone to have a friggin 3GB RAM. Gee, and they behave as if it’s our fault that none of our laptops could run the 9GB large application because we only have 1GB (or less) RAM each.
One computer (mine) which has 1GB RAM but NO more disk space. One computer with 1GB ram which is as good as a 512MB RAM because it’s soooooo laggy … and one other computer with a 512MB RAM.
Wah lau, go and sponsor my new laptop before you talk so much larrrrr.

World class IT infrastructure my wonderful tush.
Also, what kind of a student can afford 3GB RAM? o_-
I do tech support for about 40 different companies and some of the infrastructures that we deal with are just shoddy as hell. Of course we can’t tell our customer’s that cause you know the internet never breaks. It’s a pain in the ass sometimes but what can ya do.
i wish i had a 3gb ram. would be nice. but yea i think thats crazy for them to expect students to have that much. and i hope you have better luck with the school networks!
You know, that really IS bad for a school with a ‘world-class IT infrastructure’. :( That SUCKS. My fingers are crossed that tomorrow goes better for you — and that you get some sleep tonight!
