Tick Tock

The clock shows nearly 3am. So pardon my bad or might be mixed-up post. Am tired, mostly mentally.

Today I managed to write 6 pages of the PTK assignment. This is what happen when I decide to do the assignment at last minute, I know.

I have a problem with my assignment. The problem affects the flow of my ideas. The assignment should be 8 to 10 pages. I haven't finish doing my assignment, but it's already 12 pages. Actually more, but I have moved some of the infos to appendices. Ok, for the introduction and objectives, I'll just insert a roman number as the page number. So I'm left with 10 pages. But as I said, I haven't finished. I might need at least 2 pages more.

I do believe that rules are made to be bended. However in a competition or test, I do believe that rules are made so that everyone involved got a fair chance. Fair chance to compete each other and to be tested. If you bend or brake it, it means you cheat.

For example, if the assignment needs to be submitted before 10am, you should submit it before 10am then. If you decide to submit afterward because you don't have enough time to finish it the day before, it means you have cheated.

Fine, you got permission from the committee, which you are closed with, so you don't break the rules. This is what I mean by bending the rules. Just ask yourself, is't fair? Do you think you deserve the mark that you'll get for the assignment? How about the others? Do they actually have enough time the day before? Why don't they ask for extra time from the committee? I'll only answer the last question. First, yes they might not be that closed with the committee. Second, they believe in a fair chance/game. But they're certainly not stupid. At least, they managed to submit on time. Most importantly, they got integrity.

Ok, whatever. I need to sleep now.
