I am generally very methodical and organized - but... as they say, every dog has his day - and I had mine on the 30th of July.
I had completed my Dissertation Proposal and blissfully waited till the 31st to upload it as I had thought the deadline was the 1st of August ! Imagine my sheer horror when I realized it was the 29th !!! In blind panic I uploaded it - and wrote to the professors about the honest mistake, and waited for two agonizing days for the 'all clear' to come !
A word of caution for all MALIKs - NEVER wait till the last minute. ALWAYS check the deadline date - and ensure you give it on time. It is really sad to lose marks purely out of missing the deadline !!!
