Reflaction on Research paper

I finally finished my research paper. Oh my god! I haven't studied hard like this for a long time. In past the two weeks, so many articles have to be read until 2 or 3 clock so that my schedule can be finished. I am so happy I can finish. During this time, I found a very interesting thing about myself. Before, I always thought I wasn't a good student. The internet information and other things always interrupted me while studying. I couldnot concentrate on one thing for long time. If there were some things show up during my studying, I would be interrupted by that. But after the research paper, I found this was my behavior. It was my characteristic. While I was doing research paper, many things interrupt me, but I still finished my schedule in everyday. I also thought my research paper was great. I knew I did my best.

Now, I also know how to write a research paper and reference. It is not easy because there are many roles which need to be followed. I know how to find valuable information from 1000 pages books. The most important thing I know is how hard A2 is. Everyday, I just slept for 5 hours. Sometimes, in order to finish my schedule, I couldnot sleep at whole night. Those days are so ungorgettable. This is a permanent experience.

Good Job! Julian

Good job Julian!

A2 is very hard, but you can't let it discourage you. We have been pushing you (and the class) to do many things you've never had to do in English or maybe even in your first language before.

I'm glad to read that you understand how important it is to be organized as a student. Setting deadlines for yourself is a great way to accomplish your goals. Now you know that it is impossible to leave important assignments until last minute.

I am looking forward to hearing your presentation this week.
