@#$%^&*

[ThisIsMatt]

I stayed up till 4:30 last night finishing a #$%^&*( program for my CS class and had to wake up at 6:20 for the 8:00 class. Well, we were having a quiz today as well as the program due.


I slept in (turned off my alarm in semi-sleep) and missed the class and quiz. Now my program is only worth 50% and I'm down 15 points in the class (out of 450 pts).

I'm PISSED!!! This class sucks!

Its just 15 out of 450.

Chill.

Wait a min, your prog only being worth 50% bites gazelle balls.

 

[FettsBabe]

Have you tried talking to the professor? They may understand the situation. Just don't give a huge BS story.

 

[nEoTeChMaN]

You suck for missing your class.

 

[rominl]

definitely have to talk to your prof. also i hate to say, but why didn't you finish the project earlier?

 

[Static911]

man, that SUXS..happened to me too one time (spent 3 days doing hw and end up missing the class)...turned in hw late (DID get a 100 --> turned to 75%)

Yeah, I asked him when I turned it in and he just smugly replied, "Nope." I have to drive 25 miles to get to school - if I had woken up like 10 minutes earlier I probably could've made it to class and got him to accept it.

Thing is the other day when we had homework due, a bunch of people turned it in midway through class after all the answers had been discussed and he didn't deny them (sure, he didn't like it, but still).

 

[IcemanJer]

Your fault for sleeping me.
Have more discipline, man.

 

[ThisIsMatt]

I didn't finish it earlier because he already gave us homework this week and we have a big "project" due Monday. I also had to write and give a 6 minute speech in SPC as well as calc homework every day. I know, excuses excuses...

Dicipline? I get like <6 hours of sleep a day and had my alarm at full volume...

 

[freebee]

I don't need to sleep. Gave up that habit 10 years ago.

Hey ThisIsMatt, I got a question for ya.

When you picked cs as a major, did you know how to program before entering, or does everyone learn along the way?

 

[Azraele]

Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and get on with things. It sucks that you worked hard and then missed the class, and it sucks that the professor wouldn't bend on it, but all you can do now is either :

a) Go talk to the professor again and ask him why he won't accept it (be rational, calm, and understanding).

or

b) Bite the bullet and work hard and see what happens.

Either way, Good Luck.

 

[wyvrn]

Sounds like one of those jerky professors that thinks his/her class is the only one you are enrolled in.

 

[Noirish]

well, if it's 4-ish last night and you woke up at 6-ish, don't you sleep a 10 hours?
unless you mean 4-ish this morning.

anyway, it's your own fault for not waking up when you were supposed to.
i remember the days that i simply didn't sleep for a couple days straight since i got so many to do.
you have no commitment and duration man

They teach courses for Counter-Strike?

 

[ThisIsMatt]

frail - no, I didn't go in with any real knowledge - it's not so bad, but this current class is all like analysis crap and is very boring.

Azraele - yeah, I'm just suckin it up. He's not a jerk of a teacher really, and this is his policy, so...

orangel - 4:30am...I was seriously considering just staying up, but then I'm like &quot;What the hell, an hour or so of sleep couldn't hurt.&quot;

:frown:

 

[TimberWolf]

On a more serious note - If you have a truck stop nearby, you can find portable alarm-timers for under $20 with a 110 Db output . . . for those times when you positively, absolutely, have to be awakened.

I use two of 'em . . .

Okay fine. Have better time management.
