my most embarrasing mistake as a course rep
Early this semester I don't know if am to say it has been a baffling day for me I haven't made this mistake once ever since I have been representing each semester to a course due to my good performance the students don't want someone else to replace me.
But this semester seemed different we were placed in different classes, and of course, we will be electing new course rep and governor so I was been chosen for the element of co-operation course rep this year felt different I was not tuned to be a course I had zero interest in the job I am getting to my final year I need to focus on my study to come out with good grades and this time of the year, been a course rep would somehow affect my studies and all that so I got to opt-out but it not easy at seems for me to as I was selected as usual I wanted to say no but classmate was begging me to be I was like I don't want to cause it affecting me, I didn't want disappoint them due to sometimes they helped me out in most cases.
I took the job each semester I used to know the name of the lecturer that I was representing I asked for her name during her lecture in the class the pronunciation was a bit hard I was storing it on my phone I forgot I had a Grammarly keyboard which autocorrect of anything been spelled wrong so I just typed that day and my phone spelled it wrongly I didn't even look what I typed if it correct or not I just saved it and that's all for that day.
During the next class student wanted to purchase textbook of that course my duty has the course rep was to go to where am getting the textbook and purchase it on behalf of the lecturer and write her name down, I have been purchasing textbook for over 100 student in our class the biggest mistake I ever did was whenever I purchased textbook I am to drop the lecturer name instead I drop the autocorrect name of the lecturer and it wasn't her right name so one certain day I receive called from the lecturer and asked how many textbook have I purchased so far I mentioned 100 she said why wasn't her name written on the list of where I went to purchased the textbook I said how ma, she was like what was the name I have been dropping to purchasee textbook I told her the name which was saved on my phone it was that moment I knew I fucked up meanwhile it wasn't her name instead I have been dropping another name which was not even closed to her name I was so mixed up baffled with the thought were had I gone wrong it took me about two weeks to clear things out with the vendor it was my biggest mistake ever as a course rep and I later learnt lecturer are been reward for the highest purchase textbook, I hope she got the reward after my mistake of names I guess that's was her reason for being mad at me when she called.

That was a big mix up. Lol
I hope the lecturer didn't take it seriously with you though because not people like her would be soft on students like you.
She was actually soft but sometimes she get angry easily
