left the assignment behind

0I had been trying to put those painful memories behind me and01u00 left the assignment behind02u00 until the last moment.02br
02br
00First, is 01u00behind02u00 here redundant or optional?02br
02br
00Second, could I use 01u00put the assignment aside/away02u00 to replace 01u00left the assignment behind02u00? Thanks.0-
