Undelivered project causes me to crash and burn
I’ve gotten myself in a fine mess. Just a couple of nights ago in Barbados, I had the sudden thought that I didn’t check my email to see if my final project (which we turned in by email) got through ok. And of course, when I checked it just now, I saw an email from the TA saying that she didn’t receive any of the attachments; that email was about two days before I left to go to Barbados, but in the haze of the end of the term, I wasn’t diligent in checking my email. I was too busy contemplating the break. So now, when I get back to school, I have to see what horrible grade in the course awaits me, and what I can do to get it back to what it would/should be.
Update: Turns out she wasn’t able to open the attachments under Windows, but when she switched to a Linux machine, she had no problems. I suspect the problem is more with the software she used than the platforms.
