As you probably know, my time management is... trash.248Please respect copyright.PENANAKKmVOFnL96
This leads to me finish assignments last minute... literally. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAUU6IwLu7SW
Sometimes, I don't finish it at all.248Please respect copyright.PENANAXLz9s97YB8
And if you're familiar with university life, assignments count towards your grade. Quite a bit, sometimes.248Please respect copyright.PENANAon01DUxLfI
And if you don't hand it in on time, well, that's that.248Please respect copyright.PENANAQdR1hBXCgC
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAlXCPkfg6MW
Also, you'll probably have 3 other assignments due that week, so an extension won't help you a lot.248Please respect copyright.PENANAsRYUJzw3Nu
So here are my top clutch moments.
Coming from number 3:248Please respect copyright.PENANAVq9Wye1LhJ
Summer school assignment.248Please respect copyright.PENANA14Cot44v8F
It was a HARD assignment. So, of course, I left it to the last 3 hours.248Please respect copyright.PENANAFFCcLisu0Y
Needless to say, I pressed the submission button... 30, no, 20 seconds before it was due.248Please respect copyright.PENANAhuv6cCP4BR
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAOJwVZ3eQPJ
248Please respect copyright.PENANAKyttWSYkxo
Number 2:248Please respect copyright.PENANAAP2YqZ3fmM
This JUST happened.248Please respect copyright.PENANABNaOPhAoyE
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAu3wG3CRg9M
I submitted it the first time. Incorrect answer for both questions.248Please respect copyright.PENANAVDmaLNQL1D
Whoops, I missed some capital letters, alright.248Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZXVHJx3Nj
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAsfIUpKdE1J
248Please respect copyright.PENANAdCOXEXSjZJ
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAg4rDyi6jzG
I tried a few things last minute to improve my work based on the lecturer's hints, but none of them worked. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAWlvwID08YH
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANARQ3BhFVh7s
248Please respect copyright.PENANArixNXaq27h
I submitted it. The website went down before I could see my results.248Please respect copyright.PENANAnMsoLhDWqK
What if this caused both questions to be incorrect, overwriting my last attempt?248Please respect copyright.PENANA4Obo1uySEr
There's no way that small change could work.248Please respect copyright.PENANAAvhEr3TLvY
248Please respect copyright.PENANA9NUe5OAoWu
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAt5m7fVXLap
248Please respect copyright.PENANAI7k8IYUTTd
Number 1:248Please respect copyright.PENANAx9L2cssocm
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANA1ONnIcJD2D
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANADlcxBZ4pNg
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAOG7QGosj4U
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAewLklXEkHK
I headed to google. Googled the pattern with a slight adjustment to make it more simple. Surely there was something.248Please respect copyright.PENANAvHTnSQUlYO
Scrolled down. And there it was. That one line that lead to my victory.248Please respect copyright.PENANArP8nAWAfAT
I didn't even have time to test it more than once.248Please respect copyright.PENANAzq76qAnmEY
248Please respect copyright.PENANABaPkgrkirm
Copied and pasted it, pressed play and crossed my fingers.248Please respect copyright.PENANAnKnlsqbaeI
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANA2Eugc2eCzx
The lecturer was impressed.248Please respect copyright.PENANA6dTUHI2gLO
Hey, modern problems need modern solutions. 248Please respect copyright.PENANA4PNotwc3RG
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. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAoLTlyVMYbn
Luckily, my lecturers were kind enough to lend me an extra minute. Every. Single. Time.248Please respect copyright.PENANA8U9FLOzqgY
One of the most memorable times was when I didn't hand in my online test on time.248Please respect copyright.PENANApa9wfBSBF0
I clicked submit... but it was too late. On the SECOND I clicked it, it greyed out.248Please respect copyright.PENANAkhaL0fe9zo
248Please respect copyright.PENANA74lKey2A7z
Frantically, I emailed the lecturer, and he sensed how desperate I was, so he let me email him.248Please respect copyright.PENANAag8QkAkY18
So I did... email him the wrong file. I mean, it was my test, but it wasn't finished.248Please respect copyright.PENANA6lfP9CkvzI
Crap.248Please respect copyright.PENANABaXKg2n1zF
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAmWbYdpYxmq
Results came. Not only did he accept my late submission, but he accepted my LATE late submission. 248Please respect copyright.PENANAmqQO6xMSnL
Class average for that test sucked ass... and I ended up having one of the best scores. Insane.248Please respect copyright.PENANAomTRav10wr
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.248Please respect copyright.PENANAgnMGgfcSFa
248Please respect copyright.PENANALljgQkS5fg
To my employers and lecturers, if any of you happen to read this.... 248Please respect copyright.PENANAm4gIPMuf8c
Whoops.248Please respect copyright.PENANAP2SVCjxQNX
Don't worry Dr. Axxxxx Bxxxxx, I've never done it for the three papers I took under you!248Please respect copyright.PENANAwj9mDSUoAf
