You know that feeling you get....
When you were supposed to do something but you kept putting it off and eventually forgot about it? Well, that's what happened (again) with this blog. That's what also happened with a weekly assignment I have for one of my classes this semester. How did that happen? Well, like usual, I got sick the first couple of weeks of the semester (which is probably the most obnoxious tradition my body has started) and so I accidentally skipped an assignment for one of my classes called 'Fantastic Archaeology'. This is where the trouble begins. Because I forgot about it in my sick stupor, the following week I forgot about it, and I almost forgot about it for the 3rd week in a row when I got an e-mail from one of the T.A.'s. Granted, this is a 100% online course and so all I have to do is type something up about the assigned topic and hit submit. I got that 3rd one done, but then we come to earlier this week. I knew I had a bunch that I had missed, trying to go back and get things done, being thrown into the position of president for a club and just life happening (as well as more sick stints and family coming down to visit Disney). I looked to see which week we were on, exactly, coming to realized that I had missed 6 assignments. Kind of like with this blog, having missed 8 months. Luckily the day before I had been e-mailing with the professor requesting to be allowed to turn in these assignments late. Of course he said yes and in fact told me that as long as all of our assignments are turned in by December 5th, he really does not care. That's my kind of professor! Although also bad for me because well, I procrastinate way too much. But I decided hey, I have a whole day where I am not obligated to do ANYTHING. Work had called and told me I didn't need to come in, it was Monday so I had no classes - PERFECT! I turned on Netflix with Bones (My newest obsession.) on play and slammed out all of those missing assignments.
Now however, I feel really awkward about posting them all at once. The T.A.'s both know that I am allowed to post them, however I feel like I would be insulting the other students if I just slam the discussion board with all of my missing assignments. I did notice a few people with missing assignments however and some missing more that I was so maybe I should post it and get it over with.
Lesson learned - stop freaking procrastinating! I haven't been too bad this semester though, I spent all of the last two weeks going back and forth to the libraries to get sources for my 3 projects this semester. I have a pretty good stack for each, if you consider the parameters I have been given. I have another fully open day so I guess I will get to work on my projects. Step 3 for my Renaissance Art Project is due next week, so that's important. Be on the look out for more posts about my researching woes, back tracking as to what all happened in the last 8 months and also some DIY projects I've been working on.
