English Note Taking: What a mistake!

We are having this research paper in English that we are all working about. There are previous works regarding this one and today is the deadline for the note taking. It is where you paraphrase, summarize and quote the sources you have found.

So, per group, what I understand is that we will have 3 note cards for 1 source. That's what I thought. That is why I was surprised because we will only end up having 10 note cards (3 per member but one will do 4) But I did not complain because I thought what I think was right.

So today came and we did nothing during the first period. When it was our English class I found out that each should have 3 sources with 3 note cards each. I was like "WTF" because I only did one.

Good thing I was calmed down, I did not panic or what. During recess I went to our library and searched the internet. I did 2 note cards during recess. Problem not yet solved! However I have a xerox copy of the book that I found in my file case, whew! It was surprising how I coped with the problem. I did not complain whatsoever, I just did what I lack. It was my fault anyway.

During lunch I finished everything at the computer lab. I was lucky I have one SCAN form (permission to use the computer lab) signed by our Christian Life teacher.

Everything went well. I was lucky.
The only thing I found frustrating is the reaction of our leader -- well I can not blame her for talking at my back, because it is inevitable, but I'm still pissed -- let's just say that it is because of ... human nature.

Anyhow, at least I did my part and I did it on my own.

IT IS DONE!
Well at least, the problem of the day is.
