whipping boy

survived another session and presentation of strategic management (strama). when i say "survived" - just means another session has passed but will never mean "did a great job" presenting. in a way, its starting to seem like "hell will freeze over" first before anybody does an excellent job analyzing & explaining the cases. one of my groupmates couldn't make it to class tonight and the three of us were left to present the case. for some reason, even if my other groupmate has not presented in previous cases yet, he called me still to present. as i expected i got whipped & lashed so much i must have been bleeding 10 mins through the presentation (lol!). i must admit nothing registered when i read the materials for this case so i was grasping for answers through most of the questions. no matter how much insults he hurled at me, i accepted them gracefully with an occasional smile. grace under pressure talaga. if he thought he could rattle me into crying or shame me into reacting angrily, he's wrong. i'm insult-proof - at least when it comes to this subject. i accepted already that i'm the favorite whipping boy ... and there must some kind of whipping quota - and since i was out last week, i have to pay double the price.

7 more sessions. gotta start the darn paper.
