Late submission T^T
I accomplished my first essay in UK university and got my today. I was shocked by the grade because it is the lowest mark in my whole life.
When the professor assigned this task, he told us the dead line was 00:00,Nov. 1st, 2012, and he would not wait for us until 00:00 but he would check it . Then he made some jokes. Then I thought that maybe 00:00 and late submission is a joke too. Because the other professor agreed for 1 or 2 days' late. So that day when I finished my writing about 11:00 pm, I found that I could add a case into it. Then I began to revise my essay. After that I took a shower. When I came back it is already 00:39. I submitted my essay and clicked on facebook and talked with my friends. Suddenly I saw someone saying that If we pass this time, we will lose 10% of mark. But I still did not willing to accept the fact.
Today my grades came out. And I felt very bad. My professor noted that he reduced 10% for late submission. (´•̥̥̥ ̯ •̥̥̥`)
I know I should shoulder the matter. So next time I would never procrastinate and do things at the last minute. I told myself: keep calm and carry on.

It's ok - at most universities your first essays don't count towards your final grades, and even if they do count, they aren't worth much.
Another reason not to do essays at the last minute is so you can check them for mistakes. Easier said than done though.
