Assignment 1
My partner and I actually finished and submitted the assignment so ahead of time, it felt surreal. "Is this real life?" I asked myself. Did I actually finish something before it was due? Am I the same person any more? Is this what adulthood feels like?
The week goes on and I get along with the plethora of other things UofT gently places on my shoulder every day. I had labs to do, prelabs for the labs, lab quizzes, non-lab quizzes, postlabs after the lab, midterms, assignments, papers and so on (life advice: do not take hardcore life sci courses as electives). So I finished A1, and I was soon drowning but not with csc148. Life could be worse.
A few days after the A1 assignment deadline, I log in to MarkUs to this.
"*omitted* has added you in their group fr Assignment 1. Do you accept the invite?"
I swear to god, I almost flipped a table . I had forgotten to approve of the group request. As a result I hadn't submitted anything for A1.
So I slouch to Danny's office with my ego trailing in the mud behind me. I ask him how much trouble I'm in. Turns out, not tooo much trouble. A few emails and proofs later, I'd be fine.
See the thing is, I definitely got lucky. I know certain departments in this University that I'm taking classes in wouldn't have been nearly as lenient. To give you an example, my friend got 100% in all her quizzes, but didn't realize she had been sitting in the wrong tutorial section the whole time (the rooms were adjacent and for the same course). And guess what the department did about it? Gave her a 0 in all of them, even after she appealed.
So I got lucky. I guess the take away lesson here is: check your MarkUs regularly kids. The same goes for portal, Rosi, cdf, lam, and what have you. Speaking of which, I logged into portal today to realize the deadline for declaring an exam conflict was yesterday, and I have a conflict.
Guess I'm not a different person after all.
