I am PISSED.

Can you imagine being down with a bad flu, having bad headaches, gotten a MC from the doctor and being left with almost no choice but to go for a mind-boggling programming lab session? That's what happened to your truly over here.

The week's tests have taken it's toll on me and yes, I got sick. Wait! I still am sick! darn. Went to see a doctor last night and got all the medicine and stuff... as well as an MC to certify that I am unfit for school. Then, remembering that I have programmming lab this week (ie: today), I emailed the lecturer to ask if I can do my lab next week with the even week groups, knowing that what I need most now is REST. (Programming labs happens on a bi-weekly basis and I happen to have my labs on odd weeks, so there's still gonna be one session next week.)

Okie... so, being worried, I emailed by tutor to ask if it's likely for them to grant permission for me to do the lab next week... he replied and said most likely. So, being more or less reassured, I went to bed hoping to get my rest.

This morn, I woke up still having my bad flu (that doesn't seem to have gotten any better from eating the medicine) and read my email to say: No, in order to be fair to students who cannot make it for next week's lab and hence, will not have another chance to make up for it, I am not allowed to do the lab next week. And as if to make me feel better, he told me that only three out of four labs are gonna be counted in the final score. BOOM!! I screwed up the last lab and cannot afford to screw up any more labs! This lab is SUPER important to me!! I packed my stuff... gave my mum a call and asked her to fetch me, in the blur state of battling with the flu virus, to school for the lab session.

Now, I am blur, VERY sick and VERY pissed. Thanks man~! GRRRRRRRRrrrrr...

Why on earth are they so darn inflexible? To start with, they have a HARD deadline for lab submissions: 1hr 45min from the time your lab session is supposed to start. Anything later than taht even by one second will not pass through (you submit everything with the computer). Think about those who arrive late for the lab and will probably finish the lab if given the full 1 hr 45 min. (-_-''') Now this. I mean... why not have a make-up session for all those who missed their labs maybe? I'm sure out of 1000 students, there will be some who have problems going to labs every week right???

And the best thing that made me pissed is: I dare not complain!! Why? Because I am a student and I need them to give me my results. I'm really starting to hate myself.

In case you're interested in knowing how I did for today's lab... what do you expect from a person who's half dead?! Praying that I did better than the last lab... but think I'm still gonna fail it... (-_-''') as long as it's better....
