  In my case what seems to happen often is that my boss(es) will make some
minor change (to them) that requires making many changes to the code, and
so it takes me longer than I expected, or my homework load gets very heavy
for a few days (when projects are due :) and I have less time to finish
the program.
  Just why I sometimes go over-deadline.
