10th time lucky, if im lucky!

Probably about this time last year I started my History Coursework with excitement in me as to 'how i'm gonna write about Civil Rights and Vietnam'. Oh the joy of being wrong.

It's 2.22am in the morning and I've just re-completed my Civil Rights coursework. I have about 6 different copies saved on my USB. Last year I handed in my coursework. It wasn't good enough. I changed it around and handed it back again, it wasn't good enough. I have handed it in a number of time between now and then, including last week. Oh wait, it wasn't good enough. I updated it yesterday and handed it in today. Still not good enough.

I scraped the whole idea of trying to update a crap essay and started all over again. I read through someone elses coursework today. Someone who got an A*. I now know why it wasn't good enough. I've also had a piece of my coursework (different subject) called 'just average' and 'rather vague' today. So how frustrated am I.

I handed in my maths coursework yesterday and realised to myself, I only have 2 pieces of coursework left to finish; science and ICT. Today I have 5. Tomorrow maybe 6, who knows these days. Well, I have now just re-finished a piece of my history coursework all from scratch. And I'm not looking forward to redoing it again, knowing my luck and oh so average coursework.

Oh and another thing, Skillsmatch finally called me outside of school hours for an interview (3.45). Guess what, I was in school doing coursework!

As some guy once said: "History, just one damned thing after another". Someone give him a medal.

You know when you get that feeling that you haven't got a good grade eventhough you think you deserve it. I felt like that today.

A couple of weeks ago, on Wednesday I was told that my very much unfinished piece of ICT coursework which was very much unfinished was due in that day. I panicked. How on earth was I going to get that piece of coursework completed; worth a whole 1/3 of my final mark.

That evening strait after school I was heading strait to ICT to complete whatever I could. Then I remembered that I promised someone else I'd meet them in the library to help them with there coursework. I went to the library. After a full hour of doing coursework with this guy I left them on their way and was off to finish mine, hopefully!!!

It was now 6pm and after doing a full section of my coursework in hours I wasn't finished. But at 6pm everyone has to be off our school site. No way!!! I've tried too hard and wasn't leaving till my coursework was completed. It even got to the point of my protest where the teacher had to access my files from the "special computer" to print of my unfinished work and log me off. And that was it, my grade was gonna be crap and I had given up on ICT. It was now 6.15, I ran to Wednesday club!

Today we got our results back. I didn't want mine. I refused to accept it and insisted she let me complete my coursework. I was determined, but she refused. I was not a happy Gertrude! Until I got my grade, eventhough my work was unfinished!!!
