Just drove (and ran) like lunatic to get some group
coursework in (if I hadn't handed it in, 3 other people
would have failed too!). I managaed my closest ever to the
deadline.

3 more minutes and the 2 months of work would not have been
accepted :)
What's the closest any of you lot have come to a deadline
(without passing it) for anything?

I'm going to have to do a presentation of a piece of
software (the one I just handed in) and I know that it is
full of bugs and will crash at least once during the
presentation.

To compound matters I will have been up for 36hours+ by the
time of the presentation as I will be doing my tourism in
south wales project all night thursday. As a result I will
be of short temper and liable to scream at the computer when
it doesn't work.
Looks to be fun...

Don't talk to me about deadlines....
I have worked nights to get my work (clothes)
finished in time.
and,when it's finally finished,(at 08 in the morning),it
gives you such a satisfied feeling,that you can't wait to go
show your work in school...

I didn't pass it,cos there was a week between the last day
we saw our teacher and the actual show for the audience.

I probably stay up all night to finsih coursework twice a
term. I know it could be avoided, but I work well under
pressure so why not?

I prefer to avoid that.
for me,the pressure was high enough ,the first day,when I
started there.
But they kept on fuckin' up the tempo,
so in the end,I had no choice but doing nightwork...

But it was the most wonderful time of my life.
I've never been so happy!

Once I've decided to stay up all night I usually do
something fun around 5 am as a break from work (see "BoCish"
antics thread). I usually try to make a track or at least
start one. I find I can work on tracks quite quickly when
I'm exhausted.

all my papers this term were passed in a day before, or two
days... :)

One marketing group assignment I did we did in like 3 days,
while other groups that I had talked to worked on it for
weeks... and we still passed it in before anyone else, a day
before, and we still got the highest mark in the class...
not too shabby!!! :)

I had my GCSE graphics coursework to do and it was the night
before and I was nowhere NEAR finished...I worked from 4 to
4 and had 1 hours sleep and got up and carried on to then
hand it in and get an A!

Sometimes I do that- particularly if I've already passed a
module and it's one I dislike.
