So, remember that psych essay of mine that I handed in late? And my excuse? And the fangirly conversation that spawned it?

Just to refreshen your minds...

Reflection

The write-up of the interview was not as difficult as I thought, and I’m ashamed I didn’t attend to it sooner. This is the first assignment in my entire life that’s been handed in late, due to both my inattention to small details like the due date, and also my recent addiction to Mary McDonnell. The ‘Dances With Wolves’ and ‘Sneakers’ double-whammy struck me last week. A friend suggested the excuse 'I am dealing with a new and overwhelming addiction to Mary McDonnell which drove all thoughts of study out of my head’ couldn’t hurt. Apparently, ‘New Mary movies is actually a nationally recognized excuse… It applies to all types of missed deadlines.  Tell your teachers.’

Well, I finally screwed up the courage to pick it up. Know what the really sucky thing is? I originally scored a Distinction on it. Like, I tried NOT AT ALL and scored a D. But because it was late...it went down to a P+, which works out to roughly between 56-59%. I didn't need more time on it or anything, I just couldn't be bothered and kept neglecting it. If I'd failed it altogether, that would have been fine, but to know that I did well and my grade only suffered because I couldn't pull it together and be *smart* for a change...that stings.

Anyway, in response to my excuse, the teacher wrote, 'Thank you for your honest reflection...your honesty is appreciated'. Lol. Much good it did me, but that was cool of her not to like, hate me for not taking the essay as seriously as I should. I am screwed though, I need 55% to pass the unit now and I have this ominous feeling in my gut that it ain't gonna happen. For none of my four units. *sighs* Kill me now?

Ohhh, no, you do not wish to be back here. *winces* The hand cramps after a three 1/2 hour exam... >_<

Pity about the D to P+ though...

No, really, where is that 'sucks to be you' icon I suggested you get?! ;P

You know, the teacher wrote her comments all in pencil. I'm thinking of rubbing off the penalized mark and leaving my shiny D on the page and showing it off to my family. >:)

I think I shall make one this week. Just for you :P

Why not? What idiotic person writes something like that in pencil? Surely she knows that unscrupulous people such as yourself will do away with the lower mark, right? ;)

Unscrupulous...I won't deny that. XP I told them I got a D, without mentioning the markdown, because really, on merit alone, I earned that D and that's all they needed to know. *nods firmly*

Hmm, speaking of icons, I'm just looking for more BSG icons, especially A/R and I'm so picky, I can't find something I really really like. Any recs? ;) I'm stalking a few icon journals right now, but I'm voracious for *moar*. :D
