Some nightmares before my final paper

Yesterday, two of my lecturers sent us emails about our assignments marks.

For the first subject, I've got 0/10 for the first lab report and 6/10 for the second one.

So I sent an email asking him to check why I've got 0 cause I handed in on time and even if it's bad it shouldn't be soooooooo bad right.

The the second subject, I checked my score. 45/50! Woot! That's for the third assignment for that subject. But my marks for my missing assignment 2, which I handed in another copy already cause they said they didn't recieve, wasn't updated yet. So I happily emailed the lecturer (thinking that it's still under-going marking), who is from Penang, the following email.

Replies from both lecturers:

First lecturer...
It might mean that you might have plagiarised. The demonstrator marked your report and I have no control. Can you please collect yourreport and check.
Prof. Chong

Second lecturer...
Hello Shiyang,

I can now confirm that we do not have your assignment 2. Can you please email an electronic copy to me as soon as possible? I will get it marked as soon as I get it.

Very sorry about this.
Thank you.
Andrew Ooi

While bathing just now I just remembered that I haven't re-enrolled. So I didn't it the first thing after I finished bathing. Then there's this CHECK TIMETABLE button. I pressed. I regretted.

Four subjects per sememster. Standard. So two semesters there'll be eight subjects. BUT out of the 8,

6 subjects have 3 lectures per week.
the other two have 4 lecturers per week.

So meaning just by lectures alone I'll be having more contact hours than those in Arts...

All these news... Two days before my final paper, which weights 80%!

(And erm, of the other 20%, 10% is from the two lab reports I've mentioned. So, I only have 3%. And I didn't hand in another report and I got 17/20 for the last report. It's all confusing I know, Melbourne Mech Eng is really confusing. But all you need to know from this paragraph is I only have 7% before going for the final paper.)

The only good thing now is that all the songs in Jay Chou's lastest album are nice.
