Sorry guys, sort of long. As I've posted before, our class pinning ceremony is tomorrow. ALL semester, the "clique" has taken charge of the ceremony, basically done things their way. I suggested a few things and the "leader" lied and said the program chair did not get back on those issues. I let it go.

Today, the "leader" and her vice-president, stand up after our final review session, and start basically ranting about how tired they are from running around, how everyone volunteered to help but is not doing anythin, blah, blah :angryfire. Obviously the reason is because they've manhandled the duties from everyone, and now on the eve of pinning, are probably overwhelmed to find they have basically bitten off more than they can chew.

To top it all off, although we all had to give a certain amt. of money (not cheap either) and I asked if EVERYTHING had been considered in that figure of course, they are now complaining about having to come out of their own pockets because things were more expensive, and everyone should chip in additional funds. Since the class was over I said that I would see everyone tomorrow and left. I am livid, but I will not let this ruin my personal satisfaction at being pinned. It's sad that it only takes one or two people to try to ruin it for everyone else!

OMGosh, your pinning is tomorrow! How exciting! I'm sorry you're in the middle of such crap right now, but I just can't get over that you're DONE! It seems like it will be forever.

Congrats on the pinning. And you are right, don't let a few ruin it for you. After tomorrow you will never have to see them again anyway! Have fun

Congratulations on your pinning! Just remember that you only have one pinning, so make it memorable. Don't stress too much about what other people are doing. This is YOUR time to enjoy, so take advantage of the moment. :balloons:

our pinning is in may we have 19 people left in our class that are graduating and it seems like we fight over every desicion. We take a class vote on everything and most of the time it ends up being 10 to 9, so no matter what there are 10 people unhappy with each desicion, and they want a revote or they threaten taht they are not going to come to the pin dinner. I'm at the point where i'm ready to say good, i hope you don't come i won't miss you! :angryfire no one will ever be completly satisfied. I'm in charge of the picture slide show and i've asked the people in my class to bring in their grad pic if they were getting one, a baby pic and pictures of events from the past for years and their are still many people who havn't brought in pics. Some people have spoke to me saying i'm not getting my grad pics until feb and that's fine but i would like the pics from those who have it. I wanted to start working on it over xmas break. Oh well, mo one will ever be 100% happy :sniff:

Don't you love it when martyrs take over and in the end complain because they had to do it all themselves.

Have fun at your pinning. This day is all about you, don't let them ruin it! :)
