Completed!

Previously on my LJ, I went and said
I have until Friday to hand all this stuff in. As long as I actually turn up at school, as long as the computer doesn't die before I get the files out, I now won't fail. Joy!
*touch wood*

I even said it out loud at least once.
"All I have to do is turn up, print out the essays, and hand them in"

'Turn up' was the part I worried about. And there was a bit of a detour, by way of Wymondham, which Google reckons is 36 minutes away from here. But its on the B1135, which is not the A47. Having just come back along the A47 and got home at 1700, having left college at 1600 and spent at least two songs sat absolutely still on a motorway, avoidance of A47 = yaay.
Royal Norfolk Show.
Traffic central.

So, I arrive at school, not even late due to taxi starting early, and


the *entire college computer network* was down.
100%.
Not a single thing working as of 0900.

soooo, that was just *fun*
actually, I spent the morning with a sort of manic grin in place. sometimes you've just got to laugh, you know?
Possibly in a slightly Joker-esque fashion...

apparently computer malfunction is never adequate reason for handing in late, no matter the scale.

but by 1130 there was a computer in the main library that could print from disc, and I had my essays on memory stick.

success!

print outs in hand, all page numbered and name on the cornered.

So then I went to hand them in, and as usual asked to borrow a stapler to fix all the pages together. Only the hand in office said, if they gave me a stapler, they would have to send my name to the head of ... somethingorother, possibly the whole entire college. Because, you see, then I would be attempting to hand in improperly secured papers. Because attempting to properly secure them was, somehow, legally equivalent to handing them in insecurely. So off I trek back to the library to staple them. One stapler I think I broke, one seemed to be empty, but the third one worked, on the second try.


I did, eventually, hand in both papers.


So at this point, I cannot actually fail my Access course, unless I have done the math wrong or something entirely unforseen comes up.


Numfar!

*dance of joy*
*with happy tuneless humming also*


mind you, given the amount of unforseen packed into one morning, the numfars may be premature
:eyeroll:



I got an essay back today as well, the one on the effects of media violence. 65%, merit, again
I apparently trimmed out some of the sense making words when I was trying to get the word count down, for the sentences are sometimes sort of not. Oops. But hey, still a good merit



Next week the schedule for the class is watch video, discuss video, go down the pub.

Got to love end of the year
