[First Time for Everything]

Time now is 1.59AM.
2hour 4minutes passed the project deadline.
The first time I’ve called it so close to the deadline.
Also the first time I haven’t been able to meet all the project requirements – specifically, to keep within the word limit, which means part of my project will not even be read.

Interestingly, also the first time I was so scared that I would not make that deadline that I started shaking 5 minutes before the deadline … and continued shaking for the 30 minutes following my frantic tapping of the “Submit” key.

My final major project, possibly the last (dare I say) of my academic lifetime and it may be the first time I will receive a ‘No Pass’.

To the very last subject, I didn’t learn… to start the stupid thing earlier.
