That's what you get for being a goody-two-shoes!

I spent all night yesterday and all my free time today working on my report for my finance class. I had my whole time and effort focused on finishing it because I was so scared that my professor would grill me to death during my report. Much of my time, I devoted to that report. I even ignored doing some of the homework problems just so I can master my report and "impress" my prof.

Wrong move!

For some reason, the class ended up discussing at such a slow pace that I wouldn't really get to report until the next meeting. I really don't mind the wasted effort. What really annoys me is that my prof suddenly decided on checking our homework. And of course, being the annoying goody-goody that I am, I raised my hand when my professor asked us who had an incomplete homework. I didn't raise my hand right away, though. It took me a few minutes of debating with myself - and my seatmate.

That was really embarrassing. I'm not really the type who goes to school without a homework. I always believed that it was better to go to school with a poorly done homework than none at all. I just had to make an exception today so that I can work on my report. The worst part in all this is, my prof realized was in the mood for an all-or-nothing grade today. Crap.

It would have been easier for me to accept that had I not written a single thing on my notes. I was just missing a single item -- just one! I can't believe my records is going to be blemished with an unfavorable mark all because I missed an item.

Looking back, I wish I didn't give too much focus on that bleeping report. It would've saved me a lot of trouble and I would've had a good night sleep last night.

Oh well, I guess nothing really happens the way we expect them to be. Too bad I had to learn that the hard way.
