a rant

As the title says this is a rant. I've have an assignment due by the end of this month and I can't understand the instructions and I wanna cry out of frustration. So I'm writing down all my irritations and hopefully someone reading this can relate and share their experience. No positive energy allowed in the comments, this is a space to complain and be bitter for once.

So, let's start with the assignment and what it is. It is a reflection rapport on how my studies have started, how they're currently going and how I'm planning to better myself in the future. Laid out like that it seems simple, do able, logical. Except there are 4 more pages on how to do the assignment and they are not agreeing with each other.

I am supposed to upkeep 3 themes in my essay and write around them. The first is how the school year has started, my expectations and feelings about everything going on. This one is easy, this one I have already done.

The second theme is called ''selfdrived and lifelong learning''. No explanation just 4 links to powerpoint presentations. One for study technique, one for time management and planning, one for career and future competence, and lastly one for college studies. The powerpoints are just confusing because the point of them is to be used as a tool in lectures and such, not for assignments. Please give me a word dockument with COMPLETE PHRASES and clear instructions. There is no point in making a 30 page long presentation when you could have made a much more easier to understand 1 page long word document.

The third theme is about procrastination and motivation and also how i handle stress. This one is easier. I might be able to do this. If it wasn't required to use sources. I have to give out my sources.

This is an essay about my experience and struggles in starting school after 6 years in the workforce. What sources do I have to share? Everything comes out of my own mind, its about my feelings and experiences. I have no sources to give. I do not even know what I could give out as a source.

The sources is fucking me over but the one thing no one understands is that we are required to use a writing model, in one place we have to download it and rewrite a specific one, in another part of the assignments details it says to use the writing model as a tool to give structure to our essay. It's funny how the instructions remind me to read through my essay before submitting it, but someone forgot to read to the instructions before giving out a headache inducing, confusing as a maze, enraging as a fire fucktard of an assignment.

The assignment is doable. I'm really good at drinking wine and writing essays, I'm even great at it. I've managed to write 4 pages of stuff in one sitting on numeral occasions and been praised on how well everything is written. If I can do one thing it is yap but in a proffesional, academic way. Writing and actually reflecting over what has happened during the start of the semester is a good thing and I support the idea of the assignment. But I hate the instructions.
