What I am Working on This Week
Well, let's see . . . If I only drank beer, I would probably be crying in it. So, read my story and have a good laugh - cause I probably would if this was you and not me. :) So, I read our assignments for last week and got started on reading the story of Bartleby, annotating it all the way through. Then I did my Blog post, and continued with commenting on a couple others' blog posts as assigned. Finally I said to myself that I have to get this essay done! It's due tomorrow. So, I started writing, it got late and I went to bed. Got up the next day and eventually got back to my essay - Got it all written, complete except for the MLA part. Earlier in the week I went to the Purdue OWL website and printed off the MLA Formatting and Style Guide. I started looking through it finding the information I needed on formatting and works cited for a short story, etc. Went back to my paper got it all set up according to the information I read - It was complete! Whew!!! Just in the nick of time (its like 6:00pm on Sunday evening)! I go to week 3 assignment page and cannot find where to submit this paper, I went back to the syllabus, I searched for a safe assign link, I was making myself CRAZY! So I called the TELS 24 hour phone number for assistance. Now mind you it is Superbowl Sunday - while this is not important to me, it probably was to the guy who got interrupted and had to help me. Sorry guy. I can't figure it out, He's looking everywhere and can't figure it out - for some reason I decided to look at the following week's (Week 4) assignment page - and there it is! The link I need to upload my essay is staring at me in the face - and I realize how stupid I was - assuming that since the assignment was assigned in week 3 does not mean that it is due in the same week. So I hesitated for a minute and said 'What the heck - it is done - go ahead and upload it'. So I did. Now that I have watched the 2 videos for this week - I wish I had waited to submit my essay (I looked and apparently I can not resubmit it), I would make a few small changes according to our instructors videos. Apparently there are a few differences in what our instructor tells us in the video and the information in the Purdue OWL MLA guide. Hopefully it is not enough of a difference for me to loose too many points when it is graded. Are you laughing yet? You should be!
So, that was actually last week - this week I just watched the videos, now I have written my blog. I guess I have to wait an comment on a few of your blogs now. I will fill the time with working on my 5 other classes though. So I won't be bored! Hahaha
Hope everyone has a great week!
you post did make me laugh a little! That stinks that you weren't able to find out sooner that it wasn't due yet but at least you got it done! Good job hope it all works out.
