Background Story: I had a submission on the 14th of February at 5 pm which I had limited time to complete due to other responsibilities. Therefore, I stayed back on Campus on the 13th, after 5 pm lecture to finalise it and submit my essay, which I finished at 7:30 am on the 14th of February 2020. I got home at 8 am and jumped in bed to rest…woke up around 12 pm contemplating if to get up or not, but I felt so weak and fainted, so I said “I can”t kill myself”…and went back to sleep. Saturday was yet to be another hectic day, so the rest was well needed I thought..
Initially I was suppose to reflect on the Professional skills for Bio science 2 lecture, held on the 14th of February 2020, from 1 pm – 3 pm. However, I was absent in class this day and knew I had to ask my classmate about the lecture to ensure I do not fully miss out. I asked a classmate who told me we created a website in class but I was not convinced, I think he was absent minded as he was typing up his worl when I asked.
I asked two other course-mate who told me about the class and the lecture. I was glad I asked, because the initial plan was to blog every week on whatever topic we want, however the tutor assigned a topic for week 2; which I think was to blog about the lecture delivered; factors that shapes individual’s perspective about others. changed the topic and despite the fact that I was aware of that, I felt it was important I knew what the class was about and to be sure I have not missed out on anything. This was a good approach. Although, missing class is not acceptable but I had a hectic week and at that moment felt the rest was needed. Although, I would have made it to class if I had my shower instead of going to sleep. I did not felt good missing lecture and knowing I have clearly missed out on the lecture.
