Paragraph: Those still here with exams are all going spare with worry and stress ... ... except for one select little group ... ... who do n't seem to have a care in the world ... Six o'clock today was the deadline for handing in my essays , which is the total exam . Theoretically , this could have been any time this week , but I thought that an early deadline would make them get the written work out of the way before proper sit down exams . Now I mentioned last week that some were panicking , so I allowed them a few days grace , but I was not prepared for what I found . At mid - day I examined my mail box to find one essay delivered ahead of time .

Question: Why were some students panicking ?
The early deadline for the essay
They were worried about the exams.
