"save your work"
Boy did I learn a lesson today. Actually, it's not the first time this has happened to me, so I guess I really should've learned the first time... I will never learn! So my Student Programs Coordinator (SPC) application was due today at 5. I have class from 3-4:20. My plan was to drop off the application before class, until I realized that we needed to include a copy of our transcript and I needed to go to the registra to get one. I wrote my essays, there were three, last night and had e-mailed them toJonathan so he can read over them for me. One really sucked; I basically only had the intro done. I finished them up this afternoon, saved it on a disk, and closed the windows. The plan was to go to the registra first to get a transcript, then go late to class, then go to office, print up my essays and turn it in on time. Did anyone catch with I did wrong?! I only saved the essays on disk and not on the hard drive. I get to the office and print up the first document, and then the second. "What? Error?!" My second document wouldn't open! The third one printed up fine, but my fourth one, the one that I did all the work today, didn't open! I hurried home and luckily had e-mailed them to Jonathan last night. I open them and edit them. But what really sucked was that my fourth document was basically gone. I did all the work today, so the copy I had from last night was crap. And I actually felt that I wrote a strong essay this afternoon too. I ended up just having to rush through it so I can get to the office to print it up and turn in on time. Sucked. The essay probably didn't flow too well. I just tried to remember all the points I made and write it down, but I didn't have time to edit it and make sure it flowed. Oh well... I told myself that if I don't get this position, I'm getting a...
Yup... so that way, I won't be too dissapointed that I didn't get the position. If I get the position, that means I'll get my own room in AV (paid for too) and a stipend each month that's more than my HA stipend right now, and of course, the experience that would be invaluable to my future career in student affairs. But if I don't get it, I'm communting next year and getting a...
