Late night last night. Early morning to finish my Shakespeare response - only to find out that I wrote about the wrong play! I couldn't make up some half-@ssed response to the correct one because I've never read it before! Anyway, I decided not to go to class ... then changed my mind and figured I should probably go just so he doesn't think I'm dead and perhaps see if he'd take next week's response this week and vice-versa. So I caught the next bus and just missed the O-train, resulting in me being 10-15 minutes late for class. No big deal, right? - it's a three hour seminar! So then he proceeds to single me out for a second and then continue; I certainly didn't disrupt anything. Anyway, I decided to cut my losses and leave at the break; I'll suffer another zero this week, too. Each reading response is due during class and you can't turn it in unless you've attended the entire class - which is stupid. Each is worth 3% of the final mark (there's supposed to be 10, but now somehow 11... read on). At least my effort wasn't totally useless. I found out that the professor has since added two more weeks onto class; after next week, we have an abstract of our final essay due (so I may be able to make up some marks for the 3 or 4 missed responses) and after that, an essay workshop. Our final essay is now due December 5 by noon! *phew*
I still have that gigantic grant proposal due on Wednesday by 4:30. I may have Saturday off (if I don't go to Toronto, which is about 50/50 right now), probably the majority of Sunday (work-dependent), all Monday (save the hour or so for Big Sisters), and all Tuesday (I'll probably work on it during Greek History, and take a break for wrestling if time permits). If it gets really bad, I have all Wednesday morning and afternoon, too, or I can work on it during class too.
Good news? My Greek History short assignment is done as I thought it was due this week, but it's actually due next and my Shakespeare for next week is done, too, thanks to my giant mistake.
Thank goodness Teacher's College doesn't look at this year's marks! Speaking of which, those applications are due soon too! Thank goodness for all of these deadlines being pushed back!
On a lighter note, I got an 80% on my Religion midterm; not bad for super-cramming and all of those ambiguous multiple choice questions. I'm just finishing up my paper for that class, due today. It's on death and afterlife in Ancient Greece - citing sources from Homeric literature, most notably Hektor's funeral rites in "The Iliad."
