As you probably know, my time management is... trash.595Please respect copyright.PENANABopp3nyvB7
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAqgrczk3zc9
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.595Please respect copyright.PENANAXA46mzl69x
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.595Please respect copyright.PENANA700uNCb4Ie
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.595Please respect copyright.PENANAgYFpYhBMqh
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANABy3mzGtlFa
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.595Please respect copyright.PENANAITAG3Q0Dug
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:595Please respect copyright.PENANAeo1yQUdHqt
Summer school assignment.595Please respect copyright.PENANAPWoPvlliNr
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.595Please respect copyright.PENANAeZLxfZpm11
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.595Please respect copyright.PENANAw5nsWg2uBi
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA8cBgUlBOJJ
595Please respect copyright.PENANASF7vCY6TEv
Number 2:595Please respect copyright.PENANAHn06FXL0p7
This JUST happened.595Please respect copyright.PENANAhmVa6t6eKf
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAiX1PXvLyOn
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.595Please respect copyright.PENANAFVchDV18x7
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.595Please respect copyright.PENANA5EYScXjJB6
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANA0GJ4vcZaWR
595Please respect copyright.PENANANW5k8GmJ4D
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAWdJHx9PmML
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 595Please respect copyright.PENANASSyo3vI1KS
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANArtbf3RC8gP
595Please respect copyright.PENANAe6Oy66HxZX
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.595Please respect copyright.PENANAAaH7YMP3ez
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?595Please respect copyright.PENANAvvjEThRy0Q
There's no way that small change could work.595Please respect copyright.PENANAJinUhVaNkt
595Please respect copyright.PENANAqAu2w1sRA8
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAC5SdoCVUJb
595Please respect copyright.PENANAlWFEEL3Bpx
Number 1:595Please respect copyright.PENANAPpKp2gxxcE
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANADLsgs2z0kT
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAytmWDsC5WH
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAASwXlvNA9f
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANA397LQdOAAq
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.595Please respect copyright.PENANAMAH2sCMtwl
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.595Please respect copyright.PENANAn0LEth1uAH
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.595Please respect copyright.PENANAgril55tE6Y
595Please respect copyright.PENANAJDfRSrBzut
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.595Please respect copyright.PENANAtPE2uAnIjE
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAwUhCd1xPyJ
The lecturer was impressed.595Please respect copyright.PENANAAMVIGav35F
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAclXsWhTGky
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. 595Please respect copyright.PENANAlJkzSwMSra
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.595Please respect copyright.PENANADVay3AgOsn
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.595Please respect copyright.PENANAJCArRroWMi
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.595Please respect copyright.PENANAAIYuZjifJq
595Please respect copyright.PENANA1GjUGZP8xe
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.595Please respect copyright.PENANAbQf3mWEJpZ
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.595Please respect copyright.PENANACaVWCS8a9t
Crap.595Please respect copyright.PENANAWDdpwGaOU7
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAC9xeOD9rN3
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 595Please respect copyright.PENANA3Efu2txspe
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.595Please respect copyright.PENANA1MkOP6SLuc
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.595Please respect copyright.PENANAinJWNuTHbo
595Please respect copyright.PENANAb8QzDYSVHy
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 595Please respect copyright.PENANA57PRZpUR5g
Whoops.595Please respect copyright.PENANAfCM537pZ0H
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!595Please respect copyright.PENANAmrT7EeCx5j
