Late upload

00:00 SUNDAY

This numbers and this word has a large significant to me.

WHY?

Its the time, and the day, that I should have remembered well.

Its the due date for the submission of the photo editing task that I had missed by mere 2 hours.

I was very much upset by this because I have finish my work days before the due date. It is just that I forgot where I should upload it. I blame it all on my ignorant. My fault in not to keep up with the updates that our lecturer put on the internet. And I cant say how regretful I am. I learn that a university student, we are no longer in the protection and care of our lecturer as we had so in our college. If before, we had always had the constant reminder by the lecturers on our task, and our ways of communicating updates and information with each other is personal and direct. My sister has always reminding me that since I am starting to become a university student, I need to learn to be even MORE independent than when I was in the college. As my sister said before "In university, no body cares."

On the event that brings to this event, I think many of us when we get the instruction to pass up the task on Sunday means that we need to pass it before noon or at least before the end of the day (Sunday). What most of us missed is that we need to submit it on the very first our of the day - 00:00. It is true that the update had been posted on the internet for us to see. However, the update that instruct us to upload exactly at 00:00 that Sunday, was only put up 2 hours prior to the due time (Saturday 10pm). As many of us do not have the leisure of having the internet installed in our home, we did not get the update as some might have. The problem I think here is the communication problem.

Still, I do not deny the blame on my own self. When I started this course, I had promised to myself to work hard and commit to the course. I wish only of my regret and my hope to amend this by working even harder and creating an even better work in later tasks.
