The perfect news greeted me this morning as I entered the room for Personal Development, our lovely teacher (hopefully that earns me some brownie points) Cherie, is allowing us an extension for our reports and presentations. YEEEHAAA!
After dedicated a lot of time and effort on research, reading, converting and then finding some authors have used my words and ideas, changing my report I finally had all the research material I needed.. Spent most of a beautiful Sunday morning working and went off to soccer finals self satisfied that my assignment was under control after dedicating 3 hours of productive work time...
Then came Monday!!!!!
Sitting down to finalise the report, I come across some technical issues...... My report is MIA.
Not only was all my work from the weekend lost, so was the folder with my nearly completed report, all my research notes, case study data and photos. No issue.... until 2 hours later I finally allowed myself to come to terms with the fact that a dreaded virus had sabotaged my computer and my report was not lost within cyper space. One saving grace was that I was able to retrieve some of the data and partially written report that was previously saved, all was not lost.
After a few tears shed, a comforting embrace from my son, I was back in business, all but minus a case study and a few hours work.
Then came Wednesday!!!!
The virus had caused irrepairable damage to some of my software, I had a powerpoint presentation to do and my Microsoft Office Package was no long working. PANIC! CHAOS!
Then comes Friday!!!!
Managed to complete both assignment and Presentation, with the help of my bro, and a few conversions .Then good news the last couple of rushed, panic stricken days can all be forgotten. As mentioned previously I can now take the time to edit and finalise and not hand in reports and presentations I am not completely happy with.
Thank Goodness for Fridays, thank goodness for understanding teachers..
Il be back.
