Grace was given an assignment by his lecturer , a project to be precise and was to submit it in two weeks time. She was happy and expressed optimism that the project will be due in time. She took her time to draft the proposal, prepare scripts and lay down all the requirements.
Little did she know that much work awaited her in the coming week. She was a member of Music club and the final rehearsals were in full gear leaving her with no chances of reviewing her project, forget the unending students’ council meetings she was to chair the subsequent week. Thinking of the assignment only resulted to headaches. The two weeks appeared like building Rome in a day for official opening the next day. She appeared stressed due to overworking, her optimism ran low and stated experiencing boredom, her productivity started deteriorating as feelings of unhappiness ensued and chances of quitting all her endeavors increased. Grace was over optimistic, procrastination dominated her, she appeared tired and confused.
