Ethical dilema - What should I do

[KingOfAquitaine]

Ok, brief history:
A few weeks ago my grandad died, it wasn;t sudden as he was in hospital for a while, but because of this I spent about 2/3weeks going back and forth from my uni house to home to see him, most of the time because by Dad thought it was serious enough to 'say goodbye', n like I said this happend a fair few times.

anyway.

I missed a few appointments with my dissertation tutor and he suggested that if I wanted I could get an exempt from the presentation part of the unit. Because I had fallen behind and also have a number of other essays to do as well.

I initally turned him down, saying I'd be fine, but now I'm not sure.

See, I did miss out on doing quite a bit of work and have gotten really behind because of it, but whats stopped me is I just don't want to do it anyway, I can't stand presentations, N i feel like I'm using my grandads death as an excuse :S

But I realised writing today just how much work I have to do in the reading week the presentations are in, and it would help so much just not to do it. So... I dunno,

Advice??

Only one question - did you spend time you would otherwise have been spending working on your presentation, going to see your grandad? If you did, then there's no question at all - of course you should take the opportunity to wriggle out of it that's been given you.

If you didn't - I mean if you've not done that part out of laziness or bad planning or whatever - then it's up to your scruples

thats it, I'm not sure. Think I would have, but I do get distracted easily by shiny or alcoholic things
