Are there still late penalties after EVA?

I have an EVA for an assignment so my due date is now changed to this Friday but wondering if I hand it in late do I still get 5% penalty per day? Or is it just nothing and I have to hand it in on the date its due now?

Like can I submit it saturday or sunday and get a 5% or 10% penalty respectively? What happens if I can't submit it by Friday?

How do I actually start being more positive about things?

I feel like I've just lost that spark and motivation, everything is just "something I have to do" rather than things I want to be doing. I'm a uni student in my late 20's and I feel so unmotivated and tired and just not feeling like there's any "life" in me, and I don't want to feel like I'm always talking about bad things or complaining or bringing other people down. I've started isolating from my friend group because I feel like no one wants to be around me (heck I don't even want to be around me) but I just don't have the means to change my situation right now and so changing my mindset is really hard.

How do I do the twisty barrel brush hair dryer combo?

Hi I'm new here and new to trying to style my hair. I see all these videos where the person is blowdrying the hair and turning the barrel brush at the same time, kind of in the same spot (or maybe slightly moving up and down the hair?) but when I try to do that I just end up tangling my hair or it gets stuck around the brush. What does everyone seem to know that I am just not understanding? Every hairdresser I've seen does this technique too.
Also sorry if its real basic I don't have a mom or anything and I'm trying my best to learn.

Is it mandatory to submit all assessments?

I worked out I'm going to pass the unit already anyway. I still have an essay to complete but can I choose not to? I have 4 other assignments due for other units which are worth more that I'd rather be doing.

Applied for a med cert for my PMDD symptoms. Then ADHD kicked in.

*just venting* I used an online doctor service, you can put all the symptoms in and then they get back to you with a call. I need a medical cert for college because I have assignments due which I can't do/concentrate on bc of my pmdd symptoms.
I also have an overdue assignment which was due 2 days ago (and I can only apply for extensions for things due after the med cert) and so I need to get this assignment done already because each day late is 10% penalty, but the problem is that now I'm waiting for the cert for my other symptoms I ofc can't execute anything while I'm stuck in "waiting mode" because of ADHD. I woke up so early to do this assignment today and was all motivated but now 6 hours have passed and I still am just staring at my screen waiting for an update from the med service.
Of course the two things combined make me absolutely useless each month and of course my pre-period week aligns with finals.
FML.

How can I advocate for myself at the doctor, especially during a bad time?

I am in my PMDD hell week. My symptoms usually start from 9-8 days out and I'm on 6 to go currently. I'm a uni student and I have 5 things due in the next 10 days, and I'm literally not coping, I need a certificate.

I know I'm eligible for one because my condition is diagnosed, and its a genuine medical condition as we all know, but I can't go back to the doctor who diagnosed me (they're interstate) and I'll have to go somewhere new.
I don't feel like I deserve anything right now, the big feels are hitting, I can't stop crying, and I'm not sleeping... and I don't know how to go to a doctor I've never seen before to try to justify (beg) for a certificate that I need for a whole week, and for a condition they may/may not have even heard of. I don't want to talk too much or be seen as dramatic, but I literally am dramatic right now.

I need the certificate for uni to apply for an extension, because quite frankly I know that nothing in the world is going to help me get my assignments done while dealing with all the physical, mental, and emotional symptoms of PMDD. I'm so stressed, it's finals in the exact same time and I feel like a failure of course. I can't just ask for a cert for a day or two, I know myself, I do this monthly, and my symptoms are physical also. But to go to find a new doctor, to even shower and put on clean clothes at the moment tbh, let alone try to convince them of what I need. It's so hard. I lamost can't be bothered but I don't know what to say to them if I do go.

Sorry for the all over the place half venting post. I'm not having a good time.
