So it turns out a thing I thought was due monday was actually due friday and you only get 24 hours to turn in these things late. Homeworks are overall not a big part of the grade but if you don't get a passing grade on any segment (homeworks, tests, final project) of the class you don't pass the class, and there's only 4 of these so a 0 on one is pretty dire for my prospects in this class. The deadline to withdraw from a class was this past Wednesday so I can't back out to keep the F off my transcript if this incident makes the class unpassable for me.

I'm in exactly 2 classes this quarter so an F in one is almost certainly gonna throw me into academic probation, which I've already been in once so they might decide I'm just not cut out for this shit and give me the boot.

I basically have nothing to count on but the instructor's mercy and the fact that the shit isn't actually complete (suggesting that I put it off to the last minute which is maybe not entirely inaccurate) isn't going to endear me to the instructor.

I dunno maybe I can do really well in that class going forward and it will all turn out basically okay but I'm already in the big capstone class that demands a lot of time and also a group of folks are depending on me to pull my weight and I really don't need a second super high pressure class on top of that.
