That feeling when...

...I look up at the clock after I finish coding the last method required for my [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)]Go[/url] Application, the final project of my Java Web Programming Class to see how close I am to the deadline. [b]Five minutes left.[/b] Oh dear god I haven't tested the code I just wrote that morning. I quickly compile and run the program several times, making lightning fast adjustments to fix delightful problems like [i]"Oh dear god why is the game window not popping up when I hit the "Launch Local Game" button?"[/i] as I test out the major different configurations for starting a game. [b]One minute left.[/b] I finish my adjustments, I know the rest of the code works. From the command line I try to recall the command to Jar all the java files and classes needed to run my Go Application. I luckily got it on my first try. [b]45 seconds left.[/b] I navigate to my university's website, log in, go to my class's webpage and go to the submission section for the final project. I load up my jar, tag on a hasty comment to the submission saying "OH GOD NO TIME LEFT!", and windmill slam dunk the submit button. [b]5 seconds left[/b] The screen refreshes. Assignment Submitted: 8:59 AM. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUQ1Y8nPz0Q]HELL. FREAKING. YES.[/url] [spoiler]Technically most of the code is uncommented so I can't call it a complete victory, I'm going to have to go in and ask the professor if I can resubmit the project late without penalty to add comments so he can better understand and grade my program, but I'm not terribly concerned. This is definitely the closest I've ever cut it with regards to turning in an assignment. Anyone else had a similar experience where you slam dunked your work in at the last possible minute?[/spoiler]

    That has happened so many times to me. It usually goes like this though. ONE HOUR LEFT. Crap, I have to finish the last method and then debug the whole program. 25 MINUTES LEFT. Alright, it seems to all work now. Let's just run the last test case....errors...errors everywhere. Shhhiiiit, um okay we can do this. 5 MINUTES LEFT. WHY CAN'T I DO THIS...oh wait, here's the problem. *applies easiest fix in the world* 3 MINUTES LEFT. Okay cool, it looks like it all works and all the ground rules were followed. Oh, nope. I have to comment every method and tell what it does...crap. 1 MINUTE LEFT. Okay that should suffice. EX: //It does stuff with numbers. 30 SECONDS LEFT. WHY ARE YOU HAVING PROBLEMS WEBSITE!? 10 SECONDS LEFT. SUBMIT DAMMIT. 1 SECOND LEFT. Submission complete! I AM A GOD! HAHAHAHA!
