First of all, I want to underline that doing something in a hurry is not the best idea, because you’re not going to be sure the result that you’re going to get. But I remember that I had such a situation when I had to do this, and it was about my homework task in Bachelor. Unfortunately, I’ve known about this task really late, about one or two days before the class, and the task was really huge. It was kind of a project, and my group mates spent a couple weeks to complete the task, but since I missed the last class, I didn’t know about it. I got my score for this task, but I spent two nights with no sleeping, and it affected my health, and I wouldn’t recommend to do this, because it’s better to be ready in advance than complete the task in two nights.

First of all, I want to underline that doing something in a hurry is not the best idea because you're not sure of the result you'll get. But I remember a situation when I had to do this, and it was about my homework task in my Bachelor's program. Unfortunately, I learned about this task really late, about one or two days before the class, and the task was quite large. It was kind of a project, and my group mates spent a couple of weeks completing it, but since I missed the last class, I didn't know about it. I received my score for this task, but I spent two nights without sleeping, and it affected my health. I wouldn't recommend doing this because it's better to be prepared in advance than to complete the task in just two nights.
