All that rushing for nothing

[ChrisH36]

I was doing my Advanced C++ assignment 3 - where we had to make a "Green Screen" interface using DTIO functions and classes. I worked on it for one day, and it was due today at 11:59:59 PM. And so I rush it through, and managed to get up to Screen done (the container for all the media). Then, I was going to send it to myself on my email, but then..... I get an email from my professor. It turns out he extends it till Friday, and I basically finished 90% of it by rush job.

I bet you guys have had scenarios like this one. Where you rush job something, then there is a silver lining at the end of it.

No. They're all rush jobs and none of them get extended. That's why i fail.

Story of my life.

Most of us are accustomed to last minute work, I just happen to have better luck than a lot of you. Hell, I had a short story published in my College's Creative Writing course, and it was written, edited and submitted on the last day (the editing was done the day of it).

one time i was really stressed out cause i thought i burnt the last poptart in the toaster, but as it turns out...the ****ING THING WASN'T ON! LOL

Quite the opposite. I do it nice and gently, then when it gets extended, it pisses me off since I end up spending more time in labs making my code better.*

One time I pulled an all nighter to work on a self portrait for a solid 24 hours and when I got to class the next day the prof had canceled the class without notice.

I remember not finishing a paper because I felt like going to bed, but I found out the date was being extended that day in class. Procrastinating really pays off.

A similar scenario happened to me in my macro-econ class 2 years ago. I had a final which was due the second to last day in class that I had spent all night working on. Well when I get to class some stupid ***** complains that she needs one more week to finish and he gave in to the *****...So basically I could have slept that night instead of rushing to finish that final.

Another one I have:

I was in Great Detective Fiction. I was doing decently, but I did terrible on the first test. So anyways, there was one beacon of hope: A 35% research paper that we had 4 weeks to do.

Knowing me, I left it to the last week. It was due Wednesday and it was my only class that day. The class was at 3:20 pm, but I had to leave the house at 2.

Monday: Got all the research ready
Tueday: Did a decent rush job - 3 1/2 of 5 paragraphs
Wednesday: Got up at 9 and finished it at 1, left for the bus.

I got to school and handed it in. 1 week later, I get my mark back. I get 79%.

The odd thing: The same professor for that course was the same one that supervised the creative writing course I took last semester with the short story that got published. So I basically replicated my old writing style that got me A. I later finished the course with a B, even though I failed the first test.

Quite the opposite. I do it nice and gently, then when it gets extended, it pisses me off since I end up spending more time in labs making my code better.*

I like extensions when I haven't done anything. But I hate them when I have the assignment either
mostly done, or all of it.

I woke up this morning only to discover I had assignments due on two chapters, in 6 hours. So naturally I took the first hour to watch the new episode of Dexter that had finished downloading (such an awesome show). Then I spent the next 5 hours mingling with friends on the internet and learning the stuff I had to do in the assignment. Finished Chapter 11 an hour before it was due, and chapter 12 9 minutes before class. Handed it in on time.

For the most part it is never extended, I just hope it is then find out it isn't and fail.

[ChrisH36]

Hell, I just got my GAM666 assignment extended to next friday, because the code he provided us to work with didn't take into consideration about object destruction and re-employment.
