Whoo, looking at an all nighter here...haven't done one of those since high school I don't think. I got very attached to sleeping when I started college, so this will be...interesting to say the least (miserable is more like it). If you're wondering how it could take days for me to write what is essentially only about 15 pages, it's because I have to go back and pull out all the papers and books and information I've collected about language learning over the past two years, find the information I actually need to answer the questions, and then organize it into well-developed, completely supported essays. FUN. I suppose I should write my paper instead of writing an entry here, huh? My head is spinning already and I'm having trouble typing coherently...uh oh...

14 hours till the deadline...

Damn, I popped the wrong flavor of popcorn...this isn't what it said on the box! Oh well, I guess it'll keep me awake anyway...

Okay, right now it's 1:40am. My goal is to finish this paper by 5am, sleep for two hours, get up at 7am and write the last one, finish by 3:30pm at the latest. Entire exam is due by 5pm exactly, but I want to get it in by around 4pm in case of traffic or anything else.

You know what the hardest part of this is? Trying to squash all the information they're asking for into only six pages! That's the maximum limit you're allowed, but this topic is WAY too broad. I mean really, what they're asking is for me to take my Second Language Acquisition textbook and try to summarize it in six pages; it's insane! I'm having trouble writing this because I can't figure out what's really important to include and what I can leave out.

Look at this essay topic: "Trace the history of the concept of language transfer in second language development from its earliest behavioristic origins to current perspectives AND discuss the pedagogical implications that have been claimed."

ARGH. How the hell am I supposed to do that in only six pages? There's probably a whole library worth of books just written on this subject alone!

I don't think I'll be doing any sleeping tonight after all.

12 hours! ACK!!

Holy crap that took a long time! And I just barely got it into six pages >_<

Okay, one more essay to go, five hours left. This one is on information structure, shouldn't be too bad. Not a bunch of freaking theories, just straightforward information regurgitation. Here we go...
