Disappointing, I'd say. When I was at Northwestern, a friend told me that he would do this when he needed more time and, for whatever reason, couldn’t get or didn’t want to ask for an extension.

It bought me a few precious hours. I am not proud of it. On the other hand, I still *accidentally* send emails without the attachment all the time despite my best efforts. So maybe I should use that gambit more -- seems like an ironclad excuse. This year, anyway.
