5 memorable things I’ve lost over the years:
I submitted an essay last year for TOK (the course) that I was supposed to keep and revise to resubmit this year for IB evaluation (part of a scheme to get up to three bonus marks to add to my IB post-exam final grades). I lost this essay awhile ago when my harddrive crashed part-way through copying stuff over to my other drive. I did not realize this. Well, not until last night when I went to print off a copy to show Usprech when I found “Hey, my TOK homework folder is gone. Oh that’s right, I lost it when my drive got wiped. Oh well… OH WAIT.” Now, I am waiting with bated breath (that tastes a little funny on account of the chocolate milk I just had) to see whether Usprech has kept the second copy of my essay that I was required to hand in so that I won’t have to redo this 1600 word essay. It’s been so long since that I haven’t the slightest recollection of what it was I had jotted down in the original, and it’s impossibly difficult to rewrite an A-grade essay and not lose some of the original juicy. I dislike losing and losing stuff, so when this kind of thing happens (where losing stuff may lead to further losing for me), I pretty much am dead-set in a broody, bitter mood for the next little while until I resolve to be content or solve this. With my fingers crossed, there will be love (of the Theory of Knowledge, of course)!
