Why the drama?

Sigh i dunno why my life is full of drama.. lol..

Another experience happened in my managerial accounting class(the hardest subject i've done so far. But getting the hang of it now). What happened was that for this week, there was supposed to be a revision for every class. My class was on a Thursday Afternoon, while a few of my other friends were on a Tuesday afternoon.

So after i thought a while, i decided that going for 2 revisions would be ultimately beneficial for me. So i went for the afternoon class...

Btw, for all of you who don't know, there are 3 submissions for the tutorial/homework. With each submission you get 5% overall mark. It's a giveaway percentage for those who do their homework. However, these submissions are accepted randomly. The lecturer may suddenly say one day: "alright class hand up your tutorial". If you don't have it, you get a zero. If you hand up questions that are not complete, you get a 2 or 3. If you do attempt all questions, you get a 5 or 4. At the beginning of every lesson, the lecturer will provide the answers to the questions.

On tuesday afternoon, i attended the lecture with my friends for the revision. My submission was due on thursday afternoon. So i sat through the tutorial answers, and wrote them down on my paper. After the whole tutorial, he came up to me and asked me:

"Aren't you in my thursday afternoon class?"(same lecturer).

I replied "Yes i am".

"Then what the hell are you doing in this class?"

-I was shocked, then i said: "I came for the revision"

"Do you have your tutorial work for this thursday?"

-I did not. It occured to me that he must have thought i came to copy the answers and hand it up on thursday."No i don't have it"

"Either you give it to me now or you get a zero"

-*shocked* "Please can you give me another chance? I didn't know about any of this. I came for the revision. I tell you what. I'll pass you the stuff i wrote down, in that way i can't remember everything. Either that or you can choose 4 different questions for me to do from the textbook"

"I'll be very nice to you. You either go and print out your work now(our tutorials have to be printed), or you hand up this handwritten one to me and you get 1 mark. Bear in mind. If you do not return in the next 10 minutes, my watch starts now, you will get a zero."

-I looked up at him in silence and then got out of my seat. I started sprinting towards the computer lab. My hands were shaking. If i could finish typing out what i written down in less than 10 minutes, it'd be a miracle.

*arrive at the computer lab.*
*type in my student id and password*
*lag*

OMG... YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME..
I clicked on word and it took it around 40 seconds for it to open. Every second was precious to me.

You should have seen my fingers fly. After all that training from Mavis Beacon Typing 10, my speed is currently at an average of 80-85. :).. Thanks to my mom for pushing me to do it. haha. So yeah. i typed out EVERYTHING i wrote, (except for one part) and printed it out.

I looked at my watch.. and.... there was 30 seconds left. HOLY CRAAAAAP!.. I ran as fast as i could to the class and there were some people staring at me. When i opened the door, i saw the lecturer and everyone else looking up at the clock. Then they all turned to look at me. Here was where the epic moment was. Was i on time?

Lecturer: "Andrew..." he started....

"Hand me the work."

*GLORIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*

I handed him the work and he accepted it. When i sat down on my seat again, people were giving me hi-5's and african american style handshakes. :D.. It was an epic moment, but i only got a 3 out of 5 because i didn't do one question. =.=... BUT YAY! IT'S BETTER THAN ZERO, 1, AND 2!

    Lucky it turned out okay man. What do you think would have happened if you got like a zero or something? Couldn't you like REASON with the lecturer and make him see sense?
