As you probably know, my time management is... trash.801Please respect copyright.PENANA02paWK1Eg7
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAesfynP9xUh
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.801Please respect copyright.PENANAgBxX2PF0Ko
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.801Please respect copyright.PENANAB2KGK7VvF7
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.801Please respect copyright.PENANAJBicyJQdYO
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANARW23vTyCk1
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.801Please respect copyright.PENANAfUfPtS8FNe
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:801Please respect copyright.PENANAw0DRhf855T
Summer school assignment.801Please respect copyright.PENANApKZOYPU3GM
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.801Please respect copyright.PENANAx9fhXbkK1K
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.801Please respect copyright.PENANAnrDe5xsQ09
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANA6z4p49HFy2
801Please respect copyright.PENANA4qvpNPKcPp
Number 2:801Please respect copyright.PENANAJpYiFT8TsZ
This JUST happened.801Please respect copyright.PENANAc6H3ZZslVF
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANAxJUIsSR7vY
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.801Please respect copyright.PENANAkeLSOKf0uo
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.801Please respect copyright.PENANArjPWK1CfiJ
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZKFEkUeaW
801Please respect copyright.PENANAz6E9q2Z6N8
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAC7ogNRgYCv
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAIXYpYVis3n
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANA1gQbM2pcqi
801Please respect copyright.PENANAQfkENjEADQ
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.801Please respect copyright.PENANALHDwX116ny
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?801Please respect copyright.PENANAd3x0N6TWNO
There's no way that small change could work.801Please respect copyright.PENANAa0oX7DHcEZ
801Please respect copyright.PENANAwiMcxXkYIs
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANAVpklkMLV0p
801Please respect copyright.PENANAvhD46tVXuO
Number 1:801Please respect copyright.PENANAzgUm8FVCx2
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAne08M0UM7B
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANAmYka8qhLuG
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAPqKkEeP8vb
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAT2SPQgFQja
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.801Please respect copyright.PENANAmVDSWzz3ZA
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.801Please respect copyright.PENANAVfydQVOEcx
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.801Please respect copyright.PENANAbkFxFPMsXB
801Please respect copyright.PENANAMN01u3AX1r
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.801Please respect copyright.PENANAMTq4Qj0aAg
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANA600ACL3GR0
The lecturer was impressed.801Please respect copyright.PENANAKdWumfvOTv
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 801Please respect copyright.PENANA3VcKLVao5f
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. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAHg75Fkn3oq
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.801Please respect copyright.PENANAxNLLDBJ6lr
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.801Please respect copyright.PENANArWgFsjwbYV
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.801Please respect copyright.PENANAtqgBvYVyKz
801Please respect copyright.PENANAAJALm3nGOM
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.801Please respect copyright.PENANAcUcyhhV0wt
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.801Please respect copyright.PENANAyszWI96aFS
Crap.801Please respect copyright.PENANAwNOVrmNfiB
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANAVA5WzQ6Fzw
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 801Please respect copyright.PENANAxAtKGheM9T
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.801Please respect copyright.PENANASo5rTG9zL1
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.801Please respect copyright.PENANAsuWPM8l4YJ
801Please respect copyright.PENANAiPjEua2nre
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 801Please respect copyright.PENANApJL08y8u2s
Whoops.801Please respect copyright.PENANAZbhBZA52vA
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!801Please respect copyright.PENANA77CjQn5v40
