Ugh.....I can't brain right. Now even less.
I've been trying to do this writing assignment for my communications class where I have to wrote a 75 - 100 essay on Sun-Kyung Yi's An Immigrant's Split Personality as if the story was meant about me (putting myself into the author's position), but can I do it? No, no I can't - not in the context as an immigrant having to deal with two totally different cultural backgrounds that clash. And that's only half of it. The last time I wrote an essay from a video from the assignment for this woman (the student advisor), she accused me of plagiarizing, using outside sources other than the allowed material and being too wordy - which wasn't the case, since the transcript from the video and sited the video transcript as my only source.
And now, in the 11th hour-like mode I'm in (it's due in tomorrow at 10:30 AST) and I only have part of this assignment complete. It's not like I was slacking off. In the past week, I've had to deal with DH and youngest son home sick and waiting for DH's covid-19 test results (luckily the results came back negative and it was just a head cold), in addition to this three separate parent-teacher interviews for my younger three (that are still in school) and Learning Centre teacher interview for the youngest small human. This is above and beyond having to have a VC with the Academic Chair because I missed a couple of classes due to medical *appointments, that the student advisor knew about (*appointments that were cancelled from last year due the start of the pandemic which are just now being caught up and if refused now, can take up to another 18 months before they can be rescheduled again).
I want to get this assignment done, but on the other hand I don't either. Not because it's too hard, but for personal reasons. How am I supposed to relate to this story? I can't see myself as a split personality like in this case a Canadian-Korean.
*ugh!*
