Q: do you find it hard to take the dec 1st deadline seriously sometimes, since you are aware that it is slightly impossible
A: i thought it would be, i have never used a deadline for a long project, i did not set one for history of japan until the final 2 weeks. but then i figured just because i have never tried it doesn't mean i shouldn't try it, because i needed to do something. this could have been a year long project, and there is no time for that. so i tried it, and so far it has worked miraculously well - i think i set just the right date - something that 'seems' possible. and regardless, it has seriously made things go faster
