Week: 7
Songs to Remember: Press Your Number - Taemin
It's 11:30 PM right now and this time it is fault that I have yet to go to sleep. My cousin called on Skype 'till 10 and, I was like "Alright, what exactly do I have to work on?" Nothing really, there's no, assignments or work I gotta do that's due tomorrow.
And, considering I have a Chinese test, Dance written test, and math test tomorrow, I don't necessarily have to study, except for math but, I feel like I got the concepts down, especially after the last couple days. So there's that. Also, more t-shirt designs. Anyways, Dance, we just sat and read through our notes, watched people re-do the choreo if they wanted a re-do.
Math was just notes and work, of which is fortunately due on Monday. Break, was whatever. Digital Art, was whatever. We had a sub for our period with the guy with the British/ English accent. Man, do I love his accent. After Digital Art was English in which we talked about monsters. We listed out monsters from films, movies, books, shows, folk lore, etc. People listed stuff out (apparently Bloody Mary counts as a "monster." I consider monsters to have some form of physicality to them). The teacher was like "Wow, I'm surprised you guys didn't say Jason or Freddy." I'm like "Are they really monsters? They're more of like, murderers really."
And so, lunch was whatever again, umm, Gov was just a lecture on presidential candidates and whatnot. Was actually interesting because I really have no idea on how Clinton and Trump got to be selected as candidates. Apparently 16 people ran for the Republican candidate, including Ted Cruz, the zodiac killer. And finally Chinese, where I got a mini-heart attack. So, we do this online work thing where it's like a multiple-choice practice test, we screenshot our results, put 'em on a Google document, turn it into Google classroom. For the past 3 of these type of assignments (stretching out to last year even), there were some questions of which took way too long in my opinion.
You had to match the Chinese characters with the English translations, the pinyin, and vice-versa. The thing is, it wasn't multiple choice with the bubbles, it was like a click-the-arrow-to-pull-down-a-list-and-click-the-term-you-want list. Which is tedious, really tedious, so instead I screenshotted my results (of just random answers), photoshopped it to look like I got it all correct, and put it on the document to turn (I only did this for about, 15% of the questions, and there were like, about 12 or so). So not a lot, basically like 2 questions out of 12 or whatever.
Apparently the teacher decided that she wanted to take closer looks at my work, out of the 150+ students she has, she decides to examine mine close enough that she was able to see that there was a discrepancy in my screenshots. Now the way I photoshopped this shit, I didn't care too much, like, I didn't make 'em "perfect" perfect, just, good enough that if you glance at 'em, it'd look legit. I was thinking the teacher wouldn't look too carefully at 'em, because why, ya know, it's inefficient. But today, as she was stamping our work from yesterday, we had Chromebooks today to work on Blendspace work, she told me "Drew, open up your online homework."
At that point I was like "Aw fuck." I retained a naive look though. You either gotta look innocent, or calm. I was like "Wait what?" And she's like "Open up your online homework." I'm like "Umm okay." I open it up, she points to the zoom button to zoom in, tells me to take a closer look at the first screenshot. I see that it had "correct" and "correct" written twice. I was like "What the heck?" and she was like "How did this happen huh? She had this look on her face like "I know you did some shit," the tone in her voice, fucking scary as hell. " I knew my mind was like "Fuck, fuck, fuck" and so I told myself to calm down, put my hand flat on the desk as to not show that it's shaking, don't confess shit, just stand your ground.
"I don't know how this happened, I just screenshotted my results and pasted on the document without checking them again. Maybe it glitched out or something." "How can that be? In all my years of teaching using this, no other person has come across this problem." She scrolls down to the bottom question, which had the same "61 correct" thing as well. This question made my heart-rate double. "It looks like you photoshopped or something. Did you?" I shake my head like "What? No, why and how would I do that?" I could've said "Photoshop? I don't even know how to use it" which would be a horrible lie, both how it sounds and reality. She just disregards it, changes my grade on the assignment back to a 30/30. When I went home, I took enough measures as to erase my footprints. The last 2 assignments I used the Photoshop shit on, I made a copy of 'em in case the teacher wants to see 'em, unshared it with Google classroom and shit, then deleted it entirely.
I left the one she checked still up because if I deleted it, she'd obviously see it as suspicious and would further prove her claim that I faked my work. And all of this stressful shit, all of it was because I photoshopped a tiny bit on an assignment worth a measly 30 points, which is pretty much nothing in this class considering we do this kind of assignment once each lesson, and, the amount of assignments we have. Now that, was a close one. And of course I wouldn't want to admit it, I mean, with her tone of voice and shit, I knew that I'd get more than a 0 on this assignment, so honesty, that shit's out the door, and what's left is for me to defend myself.
Anywho, that was some intense shit. Will I Photoshop the next one? Probably, but actually trying to do the details as she'll probably target me next time, looking at every inch of pixels on her screen. It's 12:00 AM now, Friday's tomorrow, did not stay after-school to meet Pr unfortunately (and fortunately), and uh yeah, that's about it, see ya. Oh and also a disclaimer, I don't condone faking your homework, but if it for a valid reason, aka, really really tedious UI, then, go for it. And besides, I did 85% of the questions, and I would do all of 'em, if it ain't for that shitty UI. Alright, see ya.
