As you probably know, my time management is... trash.528Please respect copyright.PENANAMHCvv6aKih
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAlz3PptzPOY
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.528Please respect copyright.PENANAli1uwdSnvA
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.528Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6kSqvjF9k
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.528Please respect copyright.PENANAZDPxoBISsv
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAMgKjTTTXiw
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.528Please respect copyright.PENANA3K1QblvlxT
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:528Please respect copyright.PENANAlBQfYpHG3c
Summer school assignment.528Please respect copyright.PENANAR2j3E823nU
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.528Please respect copyright.PENANAfrjB8NPCOj
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.528Please respect copyright.PENANAHhOvDelkL6
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAkYMusp3xeX
528Please respect copyright.PENANAqcUBm1A4gz
Number 2:528Please respect copyright.PENANApJR0pF2S0s
This JUST happened.528Please respect copyright.PENANAUBIPCyQCPj
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAOYlpmeiuBG
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.528Please respect copyright.PENANAoRwYsLxGtR
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.528Please respect copyright.PENANAFtfJGT28Uw
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAXfZwIVpmFA
528Please respect copyright.PENANAAcKpeb75wZ
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAYJhFsSc3B6
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Tk5LkvaN
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAFwCAqMOQVg
528Please respect copyright.PENANAAYqtepmuq2
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.528Please respect copyright.PENANAbv59qx8B3c
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?528Please respect copyright.PENANA06JkvuZnUR
There's no way that small change could work.528Please respect copyright.PENANAQX9ah20SBS
528Please respect copyright.PENANAhMKultc925
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAdAJDmgcpyB
528Please respect copyright.PENANAYuLiLf7TdJ
Number 1:528Please respect copyright.PENANAUTbwV8i7MB
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAzDVXwgRkIl
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAHZN06CtQ11
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANANZgEnObgYb
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAvfuxot6J32
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.528Please respect copyright.PENANAlUH6aWwcwH
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.528Please respect copyright.PENANA3CIQQCifVR
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.528Please respect copyright.PENANAY5n6BMZooP
528Please respect copyright.PENANAc6jfqb161v
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.528Please respect copyright.PENANAGM5zfb9RNr
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANABVDg0GYy5r
The lecturer was impressed.528Please respect copyright.PENANA3Phg60vvf1
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAdlNtxTLNbt
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. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAfv3RQtMGcr
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.528Please respect copyright.PENANAMtdAmEwnUb
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.528Please respect copyright.PENANAo6AqRUtMUM
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.528Please respect copyright.PENANAEr0kF76LJO
528Please respect copyright.PENANAW2o2Gy5eVM
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.528Please respect copyright.PENANApW9D41GgIQ
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.528Please respect copyright.PENANACouBVv4OKF
Crap.528Please respect copyright.PENANA3fYySi0aLf
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAN1PDk3wSXN
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 528Please respect copyright.PENANAiUdQFfVJPd
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.528Please respect copyright.PENANAiq7URQ0NaW
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.528Please respect copyright.PENANAYYiiyXhy2a
528Please respect copyright.PENANA3FCbLUrJgY
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 528Please respect copyright.PENANAT7rI87fBy7
Whoops.528Please respect copyright.PENANAw7jUyP0YiW
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!528Please respect copyright.PENANATjYwFQdlSe
