As you probably know, my time management is... trash.469Please respect copyright.PENANAK8uCntkVSS
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAA5LmBiVbSY
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.469Please respect copyright.PENANAKSVW9yYnhp
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.469Please respect copyright.PENANAXXXiahjlps
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.469Please respect copyright.PENANArMeoDCZ1MP
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAl6y4OaYT58
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.469Please respect copyright.PENANA83qmaff3ZI
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:469Please respect copyright.PENANAkB8tN9tg60
Summer school assignment.469Please respect copyright.PENANAJADzTuEr6x
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.469Please respect copyright.PENANA7zgvsdmPYU
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.469Please respect copyright.PENANA2Bw672Kd1A
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANA37cifu95ls
469Please respect copyright.PENANANuqLPFsa4X
Number 2:469Please respect copyright.PENANAeHlqSxbWP8
This JUST happened.469Please respect copyright.PENANAj5Uhq9FhjA
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANATsrwLlYI50
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.469Please respect copyright.PENANALf6DxbbcZU
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.469Please respect copyright.PENANAzhubcyo2KZ
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAjsmYNBAREy
469Please respect copyright.PENANAB3zFlbw29J
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANA5IJ6At6Xqc
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 469Please respect copyright.PENANA3jmcIOfioe
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAXJqZKSBf7g
469Please respect copyright.PENANACAIPvY650n
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.469Please respect copyright.PENANAryVO4EcywE
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?469Please respect copyright.PENANA79S3MInLwq
There's no way that small change could work.469Please respect copyright.PENANArQmkVazl5K
469Please respect copyright.PENANA2sgLiZeegR
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAY9cRpakv6d
469Please respect copyright.PENANA9dI7hanPF3
Number 1:469Please respect copyright.PENANAYFm3bXbmXn
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4VmTsBata
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAlsYmY2XiM6
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAqJjUnVUtM8
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAbBtpvoZ92i
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.469Please respect copyright.PENANAWnAqIaUk47
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.469Please respect copyright.PENANACUcoXJ8BZY
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.469Please respect copyright.PENANAnks5ylSniw
469Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1eDAC1WJv
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.469Please respect copyright.PENANAXYs7tnKJZC
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAuBvJ852wJi
The lecturer was impressed.469Please respect copyright.PENANAKA1NZiPlFi
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAMOYJ7Mudqp
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. 469Please respect copyright.PENANAPxciDYfNuk
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.469Please respect copyright.PENANAu2GtFJqlUs
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.469Please respect copyright.PENANA7AzCWpiAq7
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.469Please respect copyright.PENANAip1sXpSiBj
469Please respect copyright.PENANAYXvgJvqNp3
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.469Please respect copyright.PENANAKXolylEbuS
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.469Please respect copyright.PENANApS5Pd49Dhz
Crap.469Please respect copyright.PENANAIO1cVzy2xo
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAIGYhM56F6s
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 469Please respect copyright.PENANA9brxp71M6t
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.469Please respect copyright.PENANAAzBPtREy2T
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.469Please respect copyright.PENANAeN9QsazzGh
469Please respect copyright.PENANAcEAcGZbWiK
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 469Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePcgpflBA
Whoops.469Please respect copyright.PENANAqkOeOdLQGs
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!469Please respect copyright.PENANAApBaEdCPIg
