r/ProRevenge - They Dug Their Own Grave AND Jumped In! - #552

hello and welcome back to the kcc channel i'm rob and i hope you're having a wonderful day today we're gonna look at some pro revenge today now i had a little bit of a chat with the op for our first story and they told me how to pronounce their name and i've tried it trust me i've tried but i just can't get it to come out sounding right so here's their username and they say it's reikanic with i just i just can't do it i just can't do it it looks like wrecking it we'll just go with that look at this giant hole you dug for yourself now watch as i bury you in it let's jump right in hello reddit long time lurker and commenter first time posting this occurred back in the late 90s in australia so aussie terms will be used please do not share or use this in your youtube or other social media platforms without my explicit permission first quick note we did contact op and permission has been gained names will be changed to protect those involved this is a very long one i was in my third and final year at uni studying archaeology due to recurring in severe illness in the second semester of my second year i had been unable to complete several core subjects and had to repeat them this included an archaeological field school held in the mid-year holidays where you would implement the techniques you had already learned this field school was compulsory if you wish to enroll in a particular subject but not everyone studying was headed in that direction i had successfully completed the previous years field school but due to my illness was unable to complete the associated course so had to retake them both again this university has a number of campuses dotted around the country and some overseas the field school is offered to students on two campuses the main campus located north of capricorn and one of its offshoots located even further north of capricorn the field schools are held in the area of the main campus so those participating are required to travel to attend for some it's across town for others it's several hours in a car needless to say those attending from the sister campus do not do so lightly or cheaply my lecturer whom we shall call matt was a bloody legend he was a brilliant lecturer has authored two books and is still working in his field albeit at a different university than the one in this story he knew his crap was easy going friendly and would sit and share a jug of beer with you on a friday arvo and i only ever saw him angry once this is important for later also note that grading went as follows in descending order hd pass with high distinction 85 to 100 d pass with distinction 75 to 84 c pass with credit 65 to 74 p pass 50 to 64 pc pass conceded 48 to 49 and n fail less than 50 the event matt and his counterpart at the sister campus had been granted permission to conduct this particular year's field school in a gully adjacent to a historic and protected enlisted cemetery this gully actually split the cemetery in two and was used basically as a garbage midden due to the nature of the gully there was only space permitted for a specific number of dig sites groups were to be allocated a site once they arrived on the first day after they had decided on their members as i was living on campus and had no car i knew i'd be unable to arrive at the field school at the specified beginning times i'd be a half hour late on the friday and monday mornings and a full hour late on the weekend i'd spoken to matt about this and as we knew each other quite well and had shared jugs of beer quite often he agreed that i would not be penalized for arriving late but that i most likely be allocated a group to make up numbers rather than choose my own it couldn't be helped so i agreed this is also important for later friday rolls around i arrive at the site a half hour late all good and i'm introduced to my group there are four of us myself the only female in the group but experienced in how the field school is run due to my previous year gaza an older grizzled male geology student who was taking the course just as a matter of interest baza a young male geology student who by all other indications was heading toward a lucrative career in the mining sector and daza another young male geology student good friends with baza also heading towards a lucrative career in the mining sector all three of my counterparts were from the sister campus so had traveled at some expense to attend they'd already been allocated a dig site and when introduced matt tells them i've got field school experience so to utilize my knowledge baza and dazza smile and nod giving me a friendly wave gaza grunts but a little later while surveying our area we get to chatting he's a nice enough bloke just a bit miffed he's been put in a group with a bunch of young craps and was worried he'd be carrying or keeping us in line nah mate i'm here to get crap done get the data i'll need for next semester and hopefully enjoy myself as much as i have the previous year now let me tell you lara croft and indiana jones have royally effed the perception of the greater public when it comes to archaeology no jurassic park doesn't count as their paleontologists dealing with animal remains archaeology and archaeologists deal with human remains a lot of what happens on an archaeological dig is repetitive and monotonous you survey your area using surveying equipment sketch and take photos of your allocated site before measuring out your one meter by one meter dig pit you take more pictures and sketches of the as yet untouched pit as well as taking an initial soil sample you scrape off a spit of earth this is a layer of a predetermined depth in this case five centimeters and once done you test the ph levels of the soil you've removed documenting everything that you've scraped up yep more photos and sketches before taking more photos and sketches of the pit and anything that may be lodged in there before scraping off another spit if you hit an object you remove the soil from around it but don't actually remove the object until you are removing the layer of soil from beneath it it must remain in situ to preserve the data boring i know but is also very important for later also important to note is soil composition in relation to how deep you can safely dig your pit before extending the boundaries to prevent soil contamination or the walls collapsing our dig site had quite loose sandy soil so it was announced that every 50 centimeters down we would have to extend the sides of the pit by 50 centimeters on each side it wasn't anticipated that we'd get much beyond one meter down definitely not further than 1.5 meters so we'd only need to expand once possibly twice this was how they had divvied up the entire site to fit us all in it became very clear very quickly that neither baza or daza had anticipated how monotonous the next four days were going to be both gaza and i had to repeatedly call them over to assist us with surveying and when it came to the soil scraping they were excited at first but then became bored as we had to yet again record every minute detail as i was the only one who had thought to bring my camera along one that required actual film as this was before inexpensive digital cameras smartphones were at least 10 years away and i was a povo uni student i was the one responsible for taking photos this included candid shots of the entire field school other groups the lecturers and our dig site day one of the field school ends and we all head back to wherever for the night to kick back relax and prepare for another day of toil the next morning saturday i arrive at the field school one hour late so at 10 am as per the bus schedule seeing as how i'd already had this okayed by matt i'm not anticipating any issues with my tardiness i get to the cemetery and seeing matt give him a cheery morning matt all good yeah matt turns and glowers at me i mean if looks could kill i'd be right at home in that cemetery with all the other dead people you know how i mentioned earlier how easygoing and laid-back matt is and i've only ever seen him angry once well this was that time matt was pacing teeth grinding fist clenched he was pissed just get to your group and get to work matt practically snarled at me i'm worried now that he's angry with me for being late even though we'd previously squared it i'm nervous and worried because we'd had a really good rapport in the past and now i'm thinking that i've done something that's going to make my last semester at uni hell on earth have i done something wrong i know i was late but like i told you before the field school this was the first bus i could get out here i'm really sorry if that's a problem matt sighs and shook his head no it's not you you've done nothing wrong i just can't deal with it right now so just go to your dig site and get on with it i'll talk to you later i head to my dig site and what i find there almost has me in tears when we'd packed up the previous day our pit was 1 meter by 1 meter square with a depth of 30 centimeters i now stand before a one meter by one meter hole in the ground dug down to a depth of approximately three meters there are mounds of sandy dirt surrounding our pit and i can see a multitude of objects that have been excavated just sitting there other groups are staring at us but trying to look as though they aren't staring nobody will speak to us either gaza is livid the dude is almost apoplectic daza and gaza are both looking very pale and like they want to puke i'm all what the ever loving f has happened here who the f did this it turns out that after everyone had left the site on the friday night baza and daza and another maid of theirs in another group we'll call him kezza got together and got on the piss it was during this that they decided to continue digging our pit so they broke into the cemetery with a shovel and proceeded to dig down until one of them passed out crap-faced at the bottom of a one meter by one meter hole in loose sandy soil the fact that the dude managed to wake up and make it out of the hole without the entire thing collapsing in on him is a miracle in itself matt had been called out to the site at 3 am by the police who had been called because one of the residents in the area saw something dodgy going on needless to say basa daza and keza were all up crap creek in a barbed wire canoe with a rusty teaspoon for a paddle they couldn't leave until they'd sobered up but had been told that in no uncertain terms after the field school finished that day they were to pack up and f off matt and his counterpart would deal with booting them from the archaeological program on the tuesday after the field school ended this left gaza and i in a fubar situation luckily for him gaza was able to join the group that kezza had been part of especially since the group were all from the sister campus i on the other hand was left hanging like an unwanted tampon string out of the gusset of a bikini there were no other groups that could take me and besides something had to be done about the cluster crap that was my dig site so saturday ended up with me trying to document whatever i could and to keep baza and daza out of my hair i gave them my camera and told them to take photographic documentation of every single piece of evidence they had dug up they had to use the scale measurement and a title board that was supposed to identify the item by date location spit level etc so off they went with a miniature whiteboard whiteboard marker scale measurement and my camera this kept them occupied for most of the day as there was in excess of 200 items that they'd unearthed in their drunken dig for buried whatever the f they were looking for i ended up filling in that hole wishing with every shovel full of soil that baza and daza were still passed out drunk at the bottom but such is life matt ended up tacking me onto another group in an observational role as the members of that group were all from my campus and would be in the same second semester class as me the revenge now as i previously mentioned the field school was linked to another class held during the second semester this class essentially took all of the data and evidence that had been unearthed during the field school and you examined tested collated and then submitted a report based on those findings as your final assessment piece seeing as how i only had one day's worth of actual data and evidence i could not submit the field school report as required as this was a core class and i didn't want to have to retake it for a third year i approached matt to talk about how we could rectify this into a situation where i would be able to pass and continue with my studies after some discussion matt agreed to allow me to do a field school critique using what had happened to me as essentially a how-to on how not to conduct and participate in a field school i had the data from the first day to use in the class and then the photos and sketches taken by myself and the dodgy brothers baza and daza of the objects we'd excavated after developing the film of the field school i noticed some interesting things the candid photos i took on the friday included shots of baza and daza not only behaving inappropriately but interfering with the equipment we were using and therefore possibly contaminating the data we had legitimately acquired they were also shown to be in areas that we weren't allowed to be in touching things that didn't belong to them and also damaging ornaments left on some of the historic graves closest to the dig site then there were the photos that they had taken on the saturday they had apparently decided that because i wasn't overjoyed by the fact they'd completely screwed me over by digging that hole they'd make the only photographs of the artifacts they'd unearthed unusable by writing inappropriate comments and cursing and slurs towards me on the title board one of the ones that has stuck in my head was a large clay ceramic clam decoration on which they'd written oh i do love a day beside the seaside with the hairy clam this was the only photo of the clam that had been taken when we filled the pits back in we had to reinter the artifacts so i couldn't just take a new picture also over 200 pieces had been unearthed remember and matt had told me to use everything i'd gathered to write my report so i used every single photo including the ones that said i was a c not in the friendly way most aussies used the term and that alluded to wishing sexual violence on me at the end of the semester i submitted my report knowing full well that the best i could hope for was a pass but that was enough to get me through to my final year the fallout i found this out from matt at the beginning of my final year at uni so it turns out that when matt had booted the dodgy brothers from the archaeological program they had been allowed to continue on with their degree studying geology but that they were not allowed to have anything to do with archaeology and were on very thin ice when i submitted my report and matt saw the extent of what they had done kindly documented by themselves on the most part and just how badly they had screwed me over gaza was fine as the group he'd been moved to had all the appropriate data and had been able to submit a proper field report he went ballistic he called a meeting with the deans from both campuses the department of tropical environments and societies geology department and the department of anthropology archaeology and society archaeology department for both campuses he presented to them my field report told them about how he'd been teaching me for the past three years and had it not been for the illness affecting me during my second year how i would have likely completed my degree at this point he also spoke about my previous field school my behavior and had i not been forced to withdraw due to my health and based on previous work i'd submitted i would have likely received a d or hd on my work the fact that i averaged c and d during the time i was ill showed my academic prowess the fact that the only grade he was able to give me for the report he currently had in his possession was a pc was a blow to my academic record that was wholly undeserved he said a lot of other things but the end result was that baza and daza were not only expelled from the archaeological program they were now booted from the geological one as well furthermore they were expelled and black banned blacklisted from the university itself which meant they could never re-enroll and any other universities they applied to would be able to see this and the reasons why essentially they were blocked from being able to obtain any university degree in that area and to enroll in any university for a different career they would have to wade through oceans of bureaucratic red tape and jump through so many hoops they'd make the duracell bunny jealous unfortunately this experience soured me on archaeology as a career path luckily for me i was able to pick up a couple of extra courses in history and english that i graduated with a ba with a major in english literature and a minor in history and archaeology i went back to uni after a gap year and obtained my graduate diploma in secondary education so i guess you could say here that basa and daza dug their own graves they even put the dirt back on top of themselves in those graves by taking those pictures and having their comments in them sounds to me like the expulsion was completely deserved i'm just really upset that op wasn't able to get a better grade because of them it's a really crappy thing to happen thank you to op for granting permission to use their story from the pro revenge subreddit they are
