'You have 2 min until essay deadline. Hurry!!!'

Luckily, I never waited until the very last two minutes before giving in my essay. But I think there was one time when there was only a half an hour left before my time was up and so I had to rush to the room to drop the hard copy off. I also missed the essay deadline for my first essay- damned laptop, you were supposed to be my friend!

That doesn't happen anymore. I do work on each essay until the last day, the last few hours before the deadline, but I no longer start the said work the night before. I did that on a couple of occasions and, even though the grades I got exceeded my expectations, the stress was not worth it and my own satisfaction with the work could do with improvement.

I greatly enjoy the essay subjects, they're very stimulating. I wish I could work on all of them, but one is a hard enough task to tackle. I imagine that, if I did organise better and started working on about three of the usual 5-10 titles, my understanding of the class work would also improve a great deal. Yet, I still have to manage giving in one essay on time, so I just compare work with friends who have chosen different subjects.
