Not going to finish my assignment in time, probably a few hours after the deadline. It is what it is. Just going to focus on getting the next four in before their deadlines.
I never learn. But for the next lot of assignments, I am going to force myself to break down each assignment into achievable tasks using this AI thing that does that and slot them in on the calendar.
My laptop has 8GB of RAM which is not conducive to many tabs open. It is currently showing a white screen instead of a chrome tab. My aunt has a laptop with 64GB of RAM which I think is other worldly.
You can do this Low! a 5% late penalty is not the end of the world. I guarantee you it will not even register on your mind 10, 20, 30 years later and when you're on your deathbed reflecting on the things that mattered to you.
And truth be told academic structures are not always conducive to those with attention disorders. I am only smashing it at my current job because the deadlines are all within 2 weeks, the projects are almost all short term, and there is support and advice available most of the time. I don't think I will do any further study for quite a long time after I finish this cursed subject and degree.
Thanks Kitten, you can do it too! That sounds like a wonderful working style. Long-term projects aren't really my thing right now.
It's unfortunately 10% at my uni (should've stayed at the old one hehe), but I'd rather submit an assignment that's 10% better tomorrow than one that would get the same mark if I submitted it on time.
I once heard a saying - ‘C’s get degrees’
Not sure how true it is but just get what credit you can for getting it done
