Oh man, am I angry. I mean I am spitting fire angry. I probably need to take a double dose of my blood pressure medicine just about now...
I blew it. I logged on to the St. Petersburg College student Web site to submit my assignments for my ethics class, because I knew that the teacher had indicated that the first two assignments were due today. Well, when I sat down and logged in at 7:20 PM, I was unable to access the first two assignments. I wondered what the problem might have been, and then all of the sudden I got an awful sinking feeling. I went to the course syllabus and read it through and, just as I had suspected (ok, just as I had feared) the deadline for assignments in this course is 6:00 PM on the due date.
6:00 PM.
All of my previous classes had a 12:00 midnight due time on the assigned date, but that is absolutely no excuse for my boneheaded mistake. The instructor had spelled it out in no uncertain terms that the deadline was 6:00 and yet for some stupid reason that never clicked in my mind. Also in the syllabus the instructor made it clear that he will not accept late work under any circumstances.
Now I have to proceed in this class with the prospect of having a couple of big, fat zeroes on my record and the unfortunate outlook of having to offset those pathetic grades with a lot of very high marks to balance them out.
Wonderful...
And of course I have only myself to blame. No excuses, nothing to fall back on. I blew it, plain and simple, and I blew it because of my own stupidity. So I'm mad alright, mad at myself.
That's all, I don't feel like writing any more...
