I have had it with Bradford! I am thisclose to stabbing him in the eye with a sharp, pointy pen. Bradford, FYI, is that INTD Sayings of Buddha professor that I've ranted about too many times before. But everything I've had to bitch about before, fails in comparison to this new development.
Back on Feb. 7th, I handed in two copies of my first INTD paper, on Emotions. I should have gotten it back on the 9th, when the rest of the class did, but because I messed up the mailboxes, he didn't get it until the 8th, so I got the paper back on the 14th. I did a revised version of the paper, as required, and handed it in on Feb. 16th, a class session after everyone else got to hand theirs in. We also had to hand in two copies of the revised Emotions paper, which I did. For some reason I didn't get it back on the 21st or the 23rd, so yesterday, Feb. 28th, I asked him about it. He handed me one copy (the one marked second copy of revised paper), and said that he couldn't grade it without another copy. I told him that I'd handed in two copies, as required. But, of course, he can't find it. The thing is, yesterday I handed in my second paper, on Desire. But he won't grade that until he grades the revised Emotions paper, which he can't find. And, of course, papers not marked with the others are marked late and downgraded as appropriate.
Long story short, I'm screwed. I am screwed to the end of the semester, because I have a third paper for him on March 9th, and that's when my second paper will be graded. By now you've probably seen what's wrong with this. If you haven't, I'll tell you. It means every paper I turn in (all of which were always on time), will be graded late.
I must now return to watching One Tree Hill writing my speech for Friday's panel presentation.
Oh, and in fandom related news, I've signed up to write about about how/why Macnair became evil for
darkones "Bad Beginning" challenge. I figured my writing needed a change since I really only write about our favorite Slytherins going evil.
