C-Y-A

Cover your ass

Now i know how the working force is like. People do things without thinking, just to cover their ass.

Well, look at my case. Mr raja (names have been changed to cover my ass haha, but you guys know who) decided to report me to the discipline master because he was afraid that my classmates would complain if he dint report me and so, he will have to answer to the head and may lose his rice bowl.

In short, he was covering his own ass.

I asked the discipine master if he could settle this matter outside, like without the examinations board and all, but he said "If we did that, we would be violating our own regulations, and we have to answer to our head (the principal, that is) and we may lose our rice bowl. " and he showed me the whole list of "laws" that the school had set.

SEE, another case of CYA.

Between Law and Compassion, which one do you choose? Even one of the lecturers said that if he caught me cheating, he would just give me a warning and let me off as i was caught before the paper.

Oh well. I admitted that i attempted to cheat, and i felt remorseful. Very. It was really a slip of mind, as i could do the papers without any help. Im not a bad student. I dont skip class often, i participate in school events actively and i dont show my temper towards my lecturers even though they're unreasonable. At least give me a chance to continue my studies with my classmates, instead of reporting me to the exams board, and i , have to face a whole board of examiners in the principal's meeting room on 14th march.

I see my classmates, friends enjoying their hoildays, but i cant. Im facing this difficult situation where i may get expelled from school,or maybe repeating my whole semester where all my friends would graduate by then, and i'll spend an extra 6months in school.

Let's pray, my friends.
