Man, I am shattered. I've been working solidly on some Perl scripting for my uni work since 9am yesterday morning. I finally got to hand it in today, an hour and a half early (for a change!!) but it was utter rubbish.
I've been at uni for two years and not a semester can go by without me leaving everything to the last minute and having to work my arse off right to the last minute. You'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson now really!!
Anyway, now my winging is over and done with, is it like that for anyone else?? Is it just me who leaves everything to the last minute or does everyone do it?? Experiences people!! Share share share!! Make me feel better!!
I'm off to bed now, night night... or whatever... what time is it??

my dissertation deadline is next friday. it is only 7000 words but thats still a struggle. I started the reading ages ago but only started writing it about half an hour ago. fuck, i don't know where to start. done about 200 words of introduction. hopefully i'll have this baby done by next friday. i know i will, but leaving it so late is detrimental to its quality....4 years i have done now, so i think i have an excuse

I never did go to bed after all that. And now it's 2am and I haven't slept for about 42 hours. That's scary...
EDIT: Hmm, just noticed Ste closed The Random Thread. A minutes silence is needed to commemorate one of the greatest threads this forum has seen. 275 pages, 3293 replies and 35659 views. Now that's a thread.

Well only thing I can relate to is travelling, I always pack at the last minute.
And I even go to job in last minute.
I rather listen to trance all day!
It's 3.30AM and I'm not sleeping either, we're just crazy

That's been the theme of my whole university career so far. I had a presentation Wednesday that I didn't do the work for until the day of. I had read the book and watched the movie it was on, but still I waited hella long to do the planning and writing and whatnot. Then I just kind of winged half the presentation anyways. Still did fine. I should probably change my ways at some point, but meh, it's working well for now.
