Another Withdrawal?

So, this happened.

I'm on the Strategic Marketing module as I mentioned in my last blog post (which feels like almost ages ago...no vex). As usual, sadly, I couldn't meet the deadline for the first assignment. The Friday before the Sunday deadline, I sent an email to the Tutor, requesting for an extension. He responded promptly granting a week extension! Whoo hoo!! :-) Hallelujah!!

Ok, so for the second assignment, I got caught up with work...had a week-long work-related event. It was about some minutes to midnight on the day of the deadline when I sent an email to the Tutor requesting for a week extension. I went to bed thereafter only to check my email hours later in the office to see an email from the Tutor bluntly refusing my request. WHAT???

I thought I was dreaming, but the smell of piping hot puff-puff from my colleague's desk jolted me back to reality (puff-puff always have that effect on me...not that I will chop inside sef...#fitfamchallenges) 

I was immediately depressed and my colleague who noticed the sudden change of my countenance offered me a ball of puff-puff to calm me down.

I had to leave the office immediately to sort out some logistics for the event. At the venue, I couldn't stop the tears from streaming down my face. Another withdrawal? What will I tell Mr Hubby? The money to re-register for the module? The time to study again? Ha!

I took a deep breath and sent another email to the Tutor. He replied almost immediately stating his refusal to grant me another extension was because I requested for it on the day of the deadline, not days before. Kai!

My final email to the Tutor:

Dear xxx

This is really sad and painful for me. I am presenting my work slides in a few hours and I can't concentrate because of this. I can't even stop the tears streaming down my face at the moment.

Please would this mean that I'll have to retake and pay for a module whose assignment 1 I have submitted and assignment 2 is almost done? I totally understand your views, but I was hoping you would grant me a few hours to turn in the assignment since the deadline was yesterday.

Ada.

I wasn't asking for a week or some days extension anymore o. Just a few hours, because I have actually started the assignment...only the cover page sha. :-(  #coversface

He replied granting me a couple of days extension. 

THANK GOD!!!

I submitted the assignment way before the deadline and have since progressed to the next module - Corporate Strategy.

Till next week Sunday, God willing...
