So I'm taking this class, Second Language Acquisition (aka SLA). It's pretty interesting until I have to write a paper for it. Basically, the way it works is that I tape record a conversation with my language partner, who is Korean, and then analyze the tape later on to find out what the deal is with his spoken English. It's about as exciting as it sounds, if you can even imagine. For this paper, I decided to get a head start. Since it was due on Friday, I started writing it on Thursday night around 8:00. My desk is kind of a mess, so I decided to write the paper in bed.
I got out all my stuff so I would be really prepared to write a bitchin' paper.
That went well for about five minutes. Then I realized that I actually hadn't eaten dinner, so obviously I needed to do something about that quick, fast, and in a hurry. So I fixed myself the dinner of champions: easy mac and coffee. Carbs and caffeine should get me through the paper writing process no prob, right? Throw in some calcium-enriched cheese powder and I should be good to go.
After I ate my easy mac, I felt an urge to take pictures of myself. You know, to document the whole process for later review. I like to call this one, "How I Feel About SLA Papers."
Then I went to bed.
The next day, I gave Hayley this hat during the time that I was supposed to be writing my paper so that I could go to a Halloween party.
I finally finished the paper at 9:00 on Friday night... during the Halloween party.
Here is a video of my friends streaking across the drill field at MSU during the party.

I'm hoping for a good grade on this one.
