Is it inappropriate to say 'i'm sorry my exposé isn't as comprehensive/good as i would like it to be. My father is dying, which is why I have been a little distracted from university and my work has suffered from it. I would appreciate your feedback on my Exposé and I am happy to redo it to meet the standards in case it currently doesn't fulfill the criteria to allow me to register for the term paper. If that's not possible, i absolutely understand, but i would be grateful if i could still write my term paper since it means a lot to me........' (something along the lines)
Or is that 'trauma dumping'? I just feel like I should give an explanation for why my work isn't as good as it should be but i also don't want to make it sound like I'm making excuses or share unnecessary details?
I hate this omg
