Kythereia good luck. I’m glad you made the decision to study untill the very last minute. 
I’m a procrastinator myself–the only time the procrastination didn’t work was, ironically enough, in my very last project for my very last class, Computer Architecture. That project was 25% of the grade and 80% is a passing grade at the graduate level… so if I didn’t turn it in, I failed.
I couldn’t start as early as I wanted (I wanted to start about 2 weeks before) because of deadlines in my contract work and my job. So I finally sat down to do it on a Friday, before it was due at midnight on Sunday.
The first project was a cinch, easy 100%, and I even creamed the professor in my implementation versus his (“Hey, my JMP takes only 2 CPU cycles, your takes 4!”). The 2nd project didn’t look all that different, only that it required a few more functionalities and 7 different memory addressing schemes and both 8-bit and 16-bit registers and error codes. I was like, okay, cool.
But. when comparing the memory addressing schemes versus the expected output, I quickly discovered that it was quite convulted. So convulted, in fact, that I couldn’t just use the same 7-case switch statement for all the functions. I had to essentially re-write the memory addressing schemes from scratch for every functionality. :smack:
In other words, the actual workload was about seven times as much as my initial assestment. I kept plogging at it from Friday afternoon to until 11:45 PM Sunday, when I was only about quarter done and no sleep and tearfully called Mom to let her know that I failed my class. She was very surprised–I’d never even gotten a C in my life. :eek:
She told me to ask the professor for an incomplete. I refused, saying that I had plenty of time to do this (indeed, the project was assigned a full month ago, I only “started” working on it 2 weeks before, and the deadlines cropped up then). She told me to at least try. So, after a lot of sleep and after taking the final test (that’s right, the final test for this class was the very next day and I never even studied, thinking I’d never request an I). Even without studying, the test was relatively easy. I pulled a 70s or so on it.
My mother was upset and told me to at least explain and let the professor judge for himself. So I e-mailed the professor and truthfully explained… not even requesting an “I”. He gave me an “I” and an extension.
I wound up getting an 88% in that class.
So miracles do happen.
