As you probably know, my time management is... trash.478Please respect copyright.PENANAlQFKF1IXUK
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAa4QXMFwBy0
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.478Please respect copyright.PENANAponkjTSUjh
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.478Please respect copyright.PENANAC0sltnoken
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.478Please respect copyright.PENANAOtWeLShZKB
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANARuIfZE55DD
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.478Please respect copyright.PENANAxeqznDGUuX
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:478Please respect copyright.PENANAGcEzshaT3A
Summer school assignment.478Please respect copyright.PENANAslAE3qTdOo
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.478Please respect copyright.PENANAy7BHTXjXCR
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.478Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Ttibqdlq
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAikKUJ3oWD2
478Please respect copyright.PENANAoE3Vm5rimC
Number 2:478Please respect copyright.PENANA8VXcRoogKP
This JUST happened.478Please respect copyright.PENANApxjoxnCHC9
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAfdHguasbIl
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.478Please respect copyright.PENANA0bwDpJVpac
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.478Please respect copyright.PENANAUHnB9N7eJR
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAuLS832GQa7
478Please respect copyright.PENANAc8C2THBs9i
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAcmHhUMHMj1
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 478Please respect copyright.PENANA6Q7lwgmLMl
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAwDQw3v7jEY
478Please respect copyright.PENANAKw2eeJqkG3
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.478Please respect copyright.PENANAiEyyz0wSNe
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?478Please respect copyright.PENANAYgXvB2ep0C
There's no way that small change could work.478Please respect copyright.PENANAT7q9KpHWz9
478Please respect copyright.PENANAGYjymPE25t
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAVmLAEg5AFI
478Please respect copyright.PENANAlZUA4bKdjb
Number 1:478Please respect copyright.PENANAtKE00QBdmp
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAyuny8D6M2p
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAHrWkVOXRsd
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAO1i91FD9Y0
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAMEiwCojaGu
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.478Please respect copyright.PENANAQmCMPGnlcb
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.478Please respect copyright.PENANAJpkANrg2FI
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.478Please respect copyright.PENANAWS4249dNEL
478Please respect copyright.PENANAL1f49v0FoG
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.478Please respect copyright.PENANAw03PaSKf0M
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAtIyWZJu18g
The lecturer was impressed.478Please respect copyright.PENANAYO363PgnNW
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAoG2HITW3Xv
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. 478Please respect copyright.PENANAi5smqgVpUj
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.478Please respect copyright.PENANAEVGneJviCp
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.478Please respect copyright.PENANAmHj8tdcbel
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.478Please respect copyright.PENANAipMhVOiZ6h
478Please respect copyright.PENANAJz2nc6LeRw
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.478Please respect copyright.PENANAz5cmfK9GMI
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.478Please respect copyright.PENANAhlFljrWKhj
Crap.478Please respect copyright.PENANAQbNO7fmjpK
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANAd8eRqx3api
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 478Please respect copyright.PENANACBO8lsLmTx
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.478Please respect copyright.PENANADSTGKyNglE
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.478Please respect copyright.PENANADSOuFNj5uz
478Please respect copyright.PENANAOSaaTd91Ip
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 478Please respect copyright.PENANAEov9VtSW25
Whoops.478Please respect copyright.PENANAlmeA6RwxsB
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!478Please respect copyright.PENANAwiDy1RoEFA
