Teyana Taylor was given an extension on her cookery school assignment so she could attend the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday

Teyana told E! News: "My deadline is on Tuesday. I gotta have my meals by Tuesday. I spoke to my chef yesterday, and he's giving me an extension so I can turn my assignment in on Thursday. My school has been very, very supportive of me ...

"I was like: 'Chef, it ain't happening [getting the work done by Tuesday]'. This is when a double life is kicking in. I'm like: 'I'm gonna need 'til Thursday.'

"I'm a straight-A student, and I want to keep it that way. I don't want to make any excuses."

Teyana has a busy schedule over the next few weeks as Hollywood awards season gets into full swing but she determined not to take any time off from her classes.

She added: "I don't want to do none of that. Just give me an extra two days. I get home on Monday and I might still have it in by Tuesday.

"It's like to have myself that time, so I'm not panicking. One thing about me is I am a student, baby."

Teyana previously revealed she's found the experience of taking cookery classes "amazing" so she's going to come back to train as a pastry chef once she finishes her current course.

She told ELLE magazine: "Culinary school has been amazing. I've always been in love with cooking because cooking is very therapeutic for me, and it allows and forces me to actually take a moment for myself, to just be quiet and cook.

"I'm in [school] for culinary arts, and when I'm done, I'm going to come back for pastry arts. I love to make my professors proud, [to be treated] like every other student. I'm purely graded for just me doing the work and not being judged by who I am."

She went on to add the course has been hard work and she was busy doing homework while juggling promotional duties for One Battle After Another.

Teyana added: "Culinary school is hard work, even just with my business classes, discussion forums, and my quizzes, but it makes me feel so accomplished.

"I know I'm already doing a million things, and this makes it a million and one, but I'm proud of that. I was on my way to the One Battle After Another premiere, literally doing school assignments."
