Sleep is for frosh.

You know, I never pulled all nighters before this class. What IS it about this class that made me pull TWO? I need 150 more words on this paper and I feel like I'm REALLY out of things to say. THe first 1500 words were easy enough. The next 500 were trickier. The last 500 were like pulling teeth. The ones I'm trying to come up with now? Are probably hurting the paper. Well, some of them are making it flow from one paragraph to the next, which is good, but some are definitely me going "Hmm, how wordy can I make this?" Padding is bad, mmkay? We get +/- 10% of the wordcount. Needless to say, I am currently madly trying to get to that -. :p (Ooh, down to 60 to go! I may actually call that good enough. :p)

Then I have to go through and add purty pictures and equations. And then the most sleep deprived lightning edit ever to make sure there's no mention of fishies in the middle. :p

Amusingly, this managed to dodge me having to use a number in my Japanese lab today... err, yesterday I suppose. We've started in on verbs, with our vocabulary basically consisting of to work, to study, to go to bed/sleep and to get up. We were going around the table asking each other questions, and someone asked me what time I was planning to go to bed tonight. To which I replied "Haha... Watashi wa kon ban NEMASEN!" (Haha, I'm NOT SLEEPING tonight.) Also, I am HORRIBLY jealous of the example people in our textbook. They only study for two hours a night! (They must be frosh or something :p)

I wonder if my prof ACTUALLY expects us to have read the reading for today. Other than Allison, seeing as today's reading is by her guy. :p

I wonder how many of the words in my paper are phosphorus, phosphine or phosphenium, incidently. :p HOpefully none of them are "FISHIES!"...

EDIT: WOrd count achieved! Now to make pictures and then edit. :p And possibly have BREAKFAST. :p

And while I'm at it, I'll use LJ as a message board! :p

Kim, you said you have a recipe for spanish rice for tomorrow's murder potluck, right?

Katikabe, we have some tall people chores that need doing. Our kitchen lightbulb is burnt out and the smoke detector needs to be put back up once I get a new battery for it. If I give you Fablesness, will you please come be tall for us?

I remember being able to pull off sentences like that. Its FUN! Plus...I was used to be half asleep for it anyways, so I know how you feel (if not experiencing the whole sitch).

I would so laugh if 'fishies' did show up in your report. But...I wouldnt BLAME you. Not at all. This class sounds Delirium-inducing.

I hope I get creativity points. :p

It's an interesting class, it just happens to be a little evil in the paper department. :p

I love sleep-deprived papers. I don't overthink when I'm exhausted, so stuff flows really well. But then sometimes odd random things pop in (FISHIES!), and dude, the still-sleep-deprived lightning edit is a thing I do not envy you.

It's problematic though when it's a scientific paper based largely on interpretation of the relevance of journal articles. :p

FISHIES!

I think I caught all the places where I was clearly INVENTING a verb tense. :p
