eNERgetIC On my STUdieS

I can't believe I stayed up all night last night. Before 7 0'clock in the evening, I was working on the quiz for Language Acquisition. We're moving to the Second Language Acquisition recently, and it's more about adults. After taking the quiz, I started to do my take-home test for Proseminar given on Wednesday. Proseminar is the basic class that we're studying for the introduction to linguistics. It's pretty interesting, reviewing what I've learnt in college and trying to understand linguistics more in depth. As to the take-home test that I was working on all night long (no kidding, "all night long") non-stop, was a test on syntax. Surprisingly, I wasn't tired at all when I was doing the test. I think I might be kind of fond of syntax. Frankly, solving the problems was like solving math questions. I always like to think logically, math and the syntax problems can only be solved when you follow the rules.

Although I burned my midnight oil last night, I'm more energetic than I expected. I have no clue why I'm not tired, and normally, I'm supposed to be. I talked with my professor about my 11 pages of term paper today. Somehow I'm really excited to write it. To me, papers that are more than 5 pages are big papers. But my professor encouraged me, and gave me some good suggestions on how to write some of the details. I'll be writing about the English Education in Taiwan, focusing on teaching native English speakers who come to Taiwan to teach English. I hope it works out well, and I will turn them in on next Monday.

By the way, when I went to Walmart this Thursday, I found out that they've raised their price from 75 cents each ride to one dollar each time. Now it's going to cost me one more quarter to get to Walmart. But it's much more better than walking for one and a half to two hours to shop there.

Tomorrow, I shall have dumpling for dinner. Hand-made dumpling, I wish they'll be good.
