Assignment | Close call

It's the first time ever, finishing an assignment 4 days before the deadline and yet we managed to kill ourselves in sheer panic by submitting it into turnitin at 11.58pm (deadline for turnitin was at 11.59pm).

We took 4 days to edit and re-edit the whole assignment: cutting down words from 7000 to 3500, you don't even want to know how we managed the impossibles.

Thursday afternoon, we each had our leisure sleep and rest because we thought we had all the time in the world. That's really not before, small mistakes were spotted at 11.30pm! Really "kan cheong" max. Not only mistakes were spotted, but my group member's (Lynn) internet decided to fail on her at 11.45pm when she have not sent the amended file to me.

She had to dictate to me the amendments on the phone at 11.50pm. For real.

She talked so fast for fear that we won't make it in time, but it was too fast for me to type it all down. My hands were also shaking and mind really blank at that time.

When all was done, I was practically begging for my internet to go faster. Almost fainted when I realised that TurnItIn have got 3 steps before your paper is submitted into the system.

That's not the end of it. We did it again, during the submission of the hard copy because again, mistakes were spotted in the appendix. And this was AFTER Joanne and I decided to scare Lynn by telling her that we have not get it printed at 11pm (submission was at 12pm). We had to do the running around university to get the new copy found (we couldn't find the original excel file T.T), print, bind and submit. 

All I can say was, plan backfired o___O

To think that the night before, we were

to have our marks cut for the late submission and this morning crisis, almost cause all of us our hearts.

This should not happen again. Seriously (T.T)
