The Researcher Effect

Well on my last post I went and rant about me being a "RESEARCHER" and all.

And today my friend just commented on me and the RESEARCHER.

He did not see my post here, that's for sure. After all, he asked me, "Did you do anything in the Journal?". As his question shows, being a RESEARCHER = not doing anything AKA doing "research" but not released.

I did explained to him later. And he apologized. We're still friends. End of story.

--------------------------------------------------------

Lesson?

Don't ever become a RESEARCHER.
As RESEARCHER = not doing anything = useless person who gets the glory without working out

And more, RESEARCHER = a person who exist but the RESEARCH is non-existent = faker

--------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes this incident make me thinking,
did the editorial board do this on purpose so that they would rather offend one person than a three/four people. As my project spans for four pages and it is made by me only, ditching my project means offending me only. If they ditched some other projects, such as 2012 (a 4 page article, p.s. no offense), they would offend the whole group which is made up of 3 members who did the project together. So, guess I was unlucky this year being ditched and pissed off and all. But whatever the case I would improve my English even more, though I do confess that luck is very important too.





Just a short note:

TTYi's new album!

(just doing for fun, don't be too serious about it)

Looking forward to it.

RESEARCHER

Ah, yes. A RESEARCHER.

Researcher (noun)
1. One who conducts research. In the field of scientific research, also called an investigator or scientist.
2. One who inquires
3. A scientist who devotes himself to doing research

Why does this word strike my mind, you say?

Well, it is because I'm called a RESEARCHER for typing out a whole document, finding pictures related to the topic I'm working on, editing pictures to provide extra tidbits of fun and not to mention doing the RESEARCH on the topic before I actually started to work on my project.

Well, there aren't what a typical RESEARCHES does, right? According to the meaning/synonyms I stated above, a RESEARCHER is just about RESEARCHING, meaning ask a question, then finds out the truth through experimenting and more experimenting.

That is definitely not my case.


I wondered what went wrong.
My progress of finding sources and shortening it was smooth.
Finding the right pictures are troublesome, but rewarding in the end.
Typing the document is the best part as I study when I type.

In the end, what did I get?

A "RESEARCHER"
Because my work is not published, or in a better term, dumped.

Though she did apologized to me, and that happened on the day where I get the completed copy of the magazine. If I knew sooner, I will do my best to shorten it even more, even though I don't know whether that is the reason or not. And she is not part of the editorial team, you know, those persons in charge.

Haha! Now isn't that something I could be proud about.

Now I finally understand that the Magazine prefers Quality over Quantity.
Though I still fail to understand what went wrong on my part.

Is my topic going off course? Is it not "hot" enough? I don't think so.
Everyone likes to play games right? That is exactly what my topic about.

Though I guess the World Cup, 2012, Social Networking and stuffs about Sleeping is much more "hotter" this year.

Shucks. Better luck next year.
I'll be senior 2 already, hope I can hang on.
