...and still awake!

Yep...I probably had a total of 5 hours of sleep since I arrived home Friday evening. I have been running on leaded coffee!

And no, it is not jet lag. It is the due date of my class project. I had a literature review I was supposed to submit last Thursday, March 7. And I finally submitted it 5 minutes ago.

Writing is not something I enjoy doing. It takes a lot of effort to come up with one good sentence. Yes. One good sentence. And I was supposed to write a review with 2000 words. The topic is interesting enough--Mobile Learning. The kind of thing I want to do. Create course for mobile phones. No, not mobile phones taking the classes. But people using their mobile phones to take short courses. Don't you think that's neat! Well...my professor, Dr. Wang, is writing a paper for the University of Shanghai and had asked me to co-author it with her. MJ (as we fondly call her) wants to explore this field and she usually invites one or two students to work on a project with her. Being a professor, she needs to get published (or simply put, has to write all kinds of papers all the time) and peer-reviewed. That's how one get's to be professor at a university.

Me? I'd rather design something. Not that I am good at it. I am just not good at writing. It will take me 5 minutes to create a website and 5 days to write one paragraph on a topic where I have a million resources at my disposal.

Anyways...it's done. And now I wait for my grade. Not looking good. Considering that I have been awake for 3 days straight, I barely remember what I wrote. I had to wake Matt up to review my work. And he's not totally "present" either.

Hmmm...I just remembered that I need to submit two homeworks by tomorrow. This time, it's for my learning design class where I create short courses using multimedia. Now, this one won't take me long.

So I think I'm going to take a long nap now..........
