Allnightersbeforepapernightsarebad.
For me, writing the small object/large subject essay was … tiresome. Though that was my fault for saving it for the last minute. Also, I had pulled an all nighter Wednesday night, and then did not even start writing the paper till late Thursday night. I was awake for 39 hours (with four hours of sleep mixed in there) before I finally got to sleep after finishing the paper. Unfortunately, this caused me to turn my alarm clock off in my sleep and miss Friday’s class. To top that off, I’ve been sick since last Tuesday. Let me grab a tissue before I continue writing. Though, blowing my nose barely helps, unfortunately. Anyway, back to the paper. Although it was tiresome, it was at least interesting. I just wish I had not put it off till the last minute. It’s hard getting my work done in a normal fashion because I live with all my friends. I live in the Netherlands complex in the Hague house and all my best friends at Hofstra live in the Hague. So, while I love it, it is frustrating because I never get any work done. Well, this is not true considering my first semester GPA was a 3.74, but this semester I’m finding it increasingly more difficult. If I continue free-writing, my mind will stray farther and farther from academics.

Living in the same house as you makes it easy to say that i completely agree with you. It is very hard to live with friends especially if you are close with your room mate. In college, it is correct to say that everything becomes distracting. I tend to leave papers for the last minute also so i completely see what you are saying about the stress and tiresome aspect of the paper writing process.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you're talking about and if I remember correctly, we were IMing each other until we were both done with the paper until the wee hours of the morning... awesome. Love the Hague but you're right. I NEVER want to do work because we're always socializing.
