on dropping a subject
Normally when I do rants about studies I regret it later because it sounds trivial after a few weeks. But this time I don't think this is the case.
The thing is I didn't take the exam for this subject yesterday. Which means I'm probably going to have to drop the subject lest i suffer humiliation from getting another fail on my transcript.
The thing is, if I drop this subject, I am effectively one year delayed in college. Yes, my college days are extended by one full year.
I do have another option, though a riskier one at that. I will have to fake an excuse letter to be able to take the exam. But i wasn't able to take the exam because of the fact that I wasn't able to wake up on time. And i really hate lying to authority. (I was almost arrested for trying to lie my way out of trouble. It ends okay for me, though my personal record is already tarnished. I'm never doing that again. But that's another story)
So i have two options:
1. Lie, and get an excuse letter to be permitted to take a late exam
a. if caught: unable to take exam, drop course, delayed for a full year
b. if not caught: take exam, pass exam, pass course, get a chance to graduate on time
c. if not caught: take exam, fail exam, fail course, delayed graduation
2. Drop the course
a. no additional FAIL, delayed graduation
so i have a few hours to decide on what to do. This is my fault after all. I didn't study much for the exam so I'm leaning on dropping the course. Also, it was also my fault i didn't wake up for the exam when I set my alarm clock.
Either way, I think the chances that I'm gonna get screwed is high. Oh joy.
