Program Stress!!!

Well here we go again. Once again I have put off my homework till nearly the last minute and I've done this for almost all of the programming assignments. I thought by now I would realize that getting this homework done early would prove useful to me, but apparently I never took action. Currently my program can successfully put the snake, player, and money buttons in random places on the JButton grid, but it doesn't do anything else. I realize that this program is going to involve a listener and a manager and I need to either read up on the subject or go take a visit to the learning center because I am somewhat lost on how to accomplish my tasks. If I can get this program working at least halfway correctly it puts my final grade in good shape especially with all these blogs, but I can't lose my focus on this program.
