Marginal loss.. Magnified!

I overslept today. For an hour. How does that matter you may say. Bad, but not inexcusable! You got to improve or you will suffer sometime. I'd heard that before.... but the suffering sometime came to me today.

The one hour I lost, also ensured my absence in a 'surprise' quiz of 15 marks. The quiz was simple: multiple choice and no negative marks. In the hypercompetitive environment around here, it effectively ensures a minimum loss of 3 grades. Yup 3 is the minimum, perhaps that will finally put me across the 'C' barrier that I never wanted to cross.

I lost a grade last term because the marketing professor wanted to take a vacation and I noticed his mistake only after he left - one day late. This term one hour of sleep has potentially put me down by 3 grades. That's a total of 0.20 credits on my final grade sheet. Gone, kaput, down the drain, without even bidding adieu. Let us see what the future count will be..
