As you probably know, my time management is... trash.433Please respect copyright.PENANAlxAjRTTugd
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAuoh8aJ0TKP
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.433Please respect copyright.PENANAqy1vG20O2P
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.433Please respect copyright.PENANA4kW1gyl8by
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.433Please respect copyright.PENANApQ8LCchKTM
You can try fake a doctor's certificate, or make some lame excuse, but chances are, depending on the lecturer, it's pretty unlikely they'll give you a deadline if you make an excuse so late. 433Please respect copyright.PENANA2OMuYQ4Qom
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.433Please respect copyright.PENANA4DRhMJyU94
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:433Please respect copyright.PENANAUQq6nUbjTC
Summer school assignment.433Please respect copyright.PENANA8AaUQyN89x
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.433Please respect copyright.PENANAoFgvGKL5b2
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.433Please respect copyright.PENANAjrjBFbPvyc
The reason why this was number 3 was because while I was working on it, I was fairly confident I would finish it, and get a reasonable grade.433Please respect copyright.PENANAAvhuMFCHlq
433Please respect copyright.PENANAMFvvbL1sQq
Number 2:433Please respect copyright.PENANA75lesRaczJ
This JUST happened.433Please respect copyright.PENANA5LM4ckMAZn
So I was working on one of my hardest assignments yet, and the lecturer warned us plenty beforehand... but I had to start it on the last day.433Please respect copyright.PENANAZFMFK2F1vH
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.433Please respect copyright.PENANAkc46Pxkvkj
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.433Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Pppli0Yq
Second time. Correct answer for the easy case. Time limit exceeded for the hard case... but 96% was correct. I knew my work was probably right, but it was too slow.433Please respect copyright.PENANAuoTAITtrk2
433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8487fUdDo
Oh, I was so close to giving up and leaving it right there. I almost did. Because... the thing is, while the due time was in 3 hours, the whole university site was going to go on maintenance in 10 minutes for 4 hours. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAXh9QESm7lU
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 433Please respect copyright.PENANA59yJFTsPV8
Final try. Instead of changing the foundation of the harder parts, I looked at the easy part... and made a minimal change to my work, hoping that, it would somehow, somehow, make it fast enough.433Please respect copyright.PENANAqxp1XT9hps
433Please respect copyright.PENANAIDk2tt60ms
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.433Please respect copyright.PENANAAO51SswPVW
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0tmY8FHHj
There's no way that small change could work.433Please respect copyright.PENANAXg7PSSHGAJ
433Please respect copyright.PENANAgxZVmCwwKp
But ALAS, 10 minutes later, I refreshed the website, and TADA - I PASSED. I couldn't believe my eyes. The only reason why this is second is because technically it wasn't last minute.433Please respect copyright.PENANATLbJ9aWZpn
433Please respect copyright.PENANA0JLeBiN0f1
Number 1:433Please respect copyright.PENANAX2P8XsaU58
It was a busy semester. I was stuck on an assignment, and my only chance was asking the lecturer on the day. However, I had work, and by the time I went into the lecturer's office, I only had 30 minutes to finish the question. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAA7ZFSmA1o4
He gave me some hints, and said to me that most people wouldn't get the question right, and it was nearly impossible to finish it in the time I got left.433Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1rGs7SKpY
It's really stressful working last minute. I don't recommend it. Your mind goes blank for a few minutes, and you have to push yourself to not get overcome by the stress and THINK. THINK. THINK. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAZJcerlZs1S
Ahh... thanks to the lecturer, I figured out the pattern of the question... but I didn't know how to implement it. Time was ticking. 5 minutes. 3 minutes. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAeziQyOUwsi
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.433Please respect copyright.PENANAYPZFHcj2wf
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.433Please respect copyright.PENANAx2qKsG1hH2
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.433Please respect copyright.PENANA2DyN9zErzb
433Please respect copyright.PENANAlODsh3bLiF
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.433Please respect copyright.PENANAH0Cjz8zm77
If you're not familiar with code... it doesn't run first try. But thank the stars Stack Exchange knew what they were doing, because it RAN. I saved my file, clicked submit in the last 10 seconds... and done.433Please respect copyright.PENANA27fC6lqdFD
The lecturer was impressed.433Please respect copyright.PENANA0zvf2qsL72
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 433Please respect copyright.PENANAMo5Mj0m4cO
When I didn't submit
There have been a fair number of times when I didn't submit an assignment, test, quiz on time. Hell, I miss a lot of quizzes. 433Please respect copyright.PENANA3aF3FvWoat
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.433Please respect copyright.PENANAkPtdFXwyGx
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.433Please respect copyright.PENANAztixqOZK7n
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.433Please respect copyright.PENANAqMBMXT6Eiw
433Please respect copyright.PENANAffZgqhBxYY
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.433Please respect copyright.PENANAMwELLM4mfp
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.433Please respect copyright.PENANAXExQrzXVaR
Crap.433Please respect copyright.PENANA7rWgWpWcUG
I emailed him again a while later, but I didn't expect it to be marked. Well... I was screwed for the test, anyway. I wasn't sure on so many of the answers.433Please respect copyright.PENANAoRLyRYrV6B
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 433Please respect copyright.PENANALLqtQxdkb2
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.433Please respect copyright.PENANA7VZH7KGaVU
I've also submitted assignments late. Just emailed my lecturer with proof that I've completed it during the same hour... and usually they let me go. It's become sort of a bad habit now... to 2-3 times per semester. I mean, you'll be pushing it if you do it more than once per course. Hehehe...
I swear my GPA isn't THAT bad. My average is just under A sitting at an A-. I really wanted to get that A though... unfortunately I cannot.433Please respect copyright.PENANAO2CErRaEGJ
433Please respect copyright.PENANAwupbg5Yxcy
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 433Please respect copyright.PENANAOltCRk5qqI
Whoops.433Please respect copyright.PENANADsCOyKKcTD
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!433Please respect copyright.PENANAqQPdPrRa14
