First of all, well done for getting your assignment completed the night before.

I had very minimal amount of work to do on the morning of submission, which made for an almost stress free day.

I think that we have all learned a lot from simply getting the first assignment out of the way; in the same breath, I am sure that the real education regarding how to do the assignments when we get our grades and feedback.

Fingers crossed.

I think the best way to get your head around them is that, your going to have to do them at some point & really whats the worst that can happen?
Just jump into it head first and then see how it goes, worrying will affect the way you present and how it comes across to the audience.

I had most of my work done for the night before, but like I said on my blog, my printer messed up the printing so I had to go into college in the morning. Just having to print in the morning stressed me out a bit! Like you say, it’s definitely the best option to have everything done for the day before, glad you managed it.

Getting your assignment done the night before really does take all the stress out of deadline day for me and it sounds similar for you.

As for presentations, I felt exactly the same for my first presentation which was just dropped on us from no where (Typical Steve style) but they do get easier and now I don't mind doing them (hence the presentation to you all a few weeks back now).

The more you worry the harder it will be so try not to panic (easier said than done I know)

Hi Greg

You are in the same position as me, sorry for making you wait this morning, I thought it wouldn’t take as long as it did, I’m glad also that the work is done and we finally get a brake. However I’m defiantly sure we will be doing a presentation as explained on my blog.

Thanks, Martyn

I know how you felt Greg. I was up quite late last night as well and the time was just disappearing before me. But it is defiantly much better to finish before the deadline as you are not worrying about anything in the morning.
