on the idiocy of some

don't ask me for what obscure reason i have finally made up my mind to go to a master's degree. fact is, i have. and there's this cute little subject called... never mind. doesn't matter, anyway. and in this suject we have to make a presentation of a book. general description, topics teated, blah blah, and insist upon a chapter we deem important.
well, along comes a colleague of
mine with his "presentation". he starts reading it, mind you, of his darn paper. ok, maybe he's not good at presentations. but he isn't good at reading either. kept stumbling through the words like a drunken elephant. hard as i tried, i couldn't follow what he was saying but for the mutters and mumbles. and then the book lands on my desk. i open it and... surprise, surprise. the bloke was actually reading the preface of the darn book, word by word. and not even reading it properly. and his in depth presentation of the chapter, which was not at all an important one, well... yeah, he read us the chapter aloud, in the same 4th grader manner.
well, i know i'm a nerd. but mind you there are people out there who aren't, but who still can read. so this guy basically cheats by copying a preface
and he can't even read that clearly. the only question i still have is whether he copied the text, or just scanned it. my guess would be for the latter. oh, and as to the title of the blog entry. the idiocy is entirely mine. because idiots like these still get my pulse racing in rage...
