TICK TOCK!!!!

Friday probably marks the craziest day of my life. Firstly my philosophy essay was due and I was writing law on Saturday. To tell you the truth I wasn’t procrastinating because it was a philosophy essay I had to spend a lot of time thinking about it and I finally decided on my initial idea on Thursday a day before it was due. Came the morning that I had to print my essay on, because I do not have a usb I don’t know why I haven’t got one I had to send my essay to my student email than print it at school, so I wake up in the morning and I’m late because my bag is heavy I decide to leave my laptop charge because my battery is always full in the morning because I charge while I sleep. When I arrive at the computer lab my laptop will not go on I check the battery light and it is red at that time it was 8:30 and I had a lecture at 8:40 with a man who goes ballistic when people are late so I decided to leave it because the latest time to hand in is 12:00. I continue with my lectures until 10:30 my quest than was to find a person with a Toshiba charge or any charger at all. When I eventually found someone with a charger and sent my essay I felt relief it only took me five minutes to send it all I needed to do was to print it out. When I arrived at the science computer lab the printer wasn’t working and by than it was 11:00 so I decided to go to the New Arts computer lab and it also wasn’t working so I went to the technician and he said “WE ARE CURRENT FACING NETWORK PROBLEMS MEANING THAT ALL OUR PRINTERS ARE DOWN”. I literally felt like I was going to die because there is only one internet cafĂ© here and it was at the mall which was quite a distance and at that time it was 11:35 so when I had given up all hope in the UKZN system (which by the way I feel that they sabotage) I had to walk to the mall when I got there it was so full because everyone was printing there, when I got out it was 11:59 so I decided to take a cab stupid me I showed him how much money I had so he charged me more for a 5 minutes ride but at that time handing my work in was more important. Luckily I got there at 12:05 and Dr. Bernard hadn’t fetched the essays when I arrived. So I have officially learnt my first lesson in University and that have your work ready two days before the due date.
