As you probably know, my time management is... trash.493Please respect copyright.PENANAdlazqh4uVs
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAtd6zLUBodS
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.493Please respect copyright.PENANAajZonvvsH2
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.493Please respect copyright.PENANA31NP7wCAa9
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.493Please respect copyright.PENANA9PiXxTZbB6
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAwPSen1IaCH
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.493Please respect copyright.PENANAPgMATv2oA7
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:493Please respect copyright.PENANAOXO1Q5CFza
Summer school assignment.493Please respect copyright.PENANAliC3tvDEjo
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.493Please respect copyright.PENANAT810z9S5Uu
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.493Please respect copyright.PENANAQvrvgZCdJ3
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAzUkvaUrqWo
493Please respect copyright.PENANAQm6feIo6ch
Number 2:493Please respect copyright.PENANAgLwYKDrL7N
This JUST happened.493Please respect copyright.PENANAmuF8JliPR0
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANADqsPw6jEXS
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.493Please respect copyright.PENANAMRLWVA76iP
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.493Please respect copyright.PENANAPAgGpeTIFS
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAY5nZHoyUCW
493Please respect copyright.PENANAHlAc0UF0aS
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANABVWAGbR1ZX
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAXVc1A88o8K
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANA19mB6fs490
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOXPlRPXJyN
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.493Please respect copyright.PENANAs0sLQ8Cfhc
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?493Please respect copyright.PENANA6NuuijifYO
There's no way that small change could work.493Please respect copyright.PENANA1CFOQ8EhFU
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfedjFaw2Yy
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANA8XYHyiBA0D
493Please respect copyright.PENANAOClcUkVf4B
Number 1:493Please respect copyright.PENANAJnDjsiyHWn
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAcYyG0MzDoi
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANA49IX5V0ZRQ
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANABulQ7RvYiT
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAptM9AkNVsB
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.493Please respect copyright.PENANAYqpdBifDLQ
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.493Please respect copyright.PENANATOpF1bjwLs
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.493Please respect copyright.PENANApIhIkuskYf
493Please respect copyright.PENANAkm9WfEpPN9
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.493Please respect copyright.PENANAp0foPd22Jl
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAi4Ve1qHHGQ
The lecturer was impressed.493Please respect copyright.PENANAzw5G4FVhne
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 493Please respect copyright.PENANA9nC0YKJT7r
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. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAgrce5yhEgE
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.493Please respect copyright.PENANAVrYclof2EF
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.493Please respect copyright.PENANAYprhgItliD
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.493Please respect copyright.PENANAxpD5M6pdhR
493Please respect copyright.PENANABOU8Oe3pcP
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.493Please respect copyright.PENANAcAM5xFu761
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.493Please respect copyright.PENANABkhFKEVw1P
Crap.493Please respect copyright.PENANA51OC4ZuHJs
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAVqkKm8RltO
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 493Please respect copyright.PENANAV33NIoVIdL
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.493Please respect copyright.PENANAAhWiTNUmUN
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.493Please respect copyright.PENANAHmCKnVqO4T
493Please respect copyright.PENANAfucHEvqJ1p
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 493Please respect copyright.PENANAMH9edAc8Jb
Whoops.493Please respect copyright.PENANAlII64MlZ7t
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!493Please respect copyright.PENANAJON97mCtZl
