About wasting time. Yesterday while I was searching for some information in the Net for school project I came across some advertisement which offered handicraft necklaces. I clicked on it because I am keen on handy stuff. I had no intention to buy it. T only wanted to find some good ideas to create myself something alike latter. I was successful. I saved the picture and then I had been staring at it for a long time. Finally I understood how it had been done. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time on it. when I realised that a clocks showed midnight and I needed to go to sleep. But I couldn't. I hadn't finished my project yet. So, I spent all night doing my homework. Today while I was in school I really wanted to fall asleep and I struggled with that feeling. Today I will go to sleep much earlier.

Good job! :)

Difference between later and latter:

We use later when we are referring to time. We use latter when we are referring to the second of two things or people that were mentioned previously. Example:

1) You saved the picture so that you could work on it later.

2) You had two projects to do last night: one was your school homework and the other was the necklace. The former was mandatory, the latter was optional.

About Wasting Time.

Yesterday while I was searching for some information on the net for a school project I came across an advertisement which offered handicraft necklaces. I clicked on it because I am keen on handicrafts. I had no intention to buy it and only wanted to find some good ideas to create myself, or something like theirs. I was successful. I saved the picture and when I had been staring at it for a long time, I finally understood how it had been done. Unfortunately, I wasted a lot of time on it, when I realised that the clock showed midnight and I needed to go to sleep. But I couldn't. I hadn't finished my project yet. So, I spent all night doing my homework. Today while I was in school I really wanted to fall asleep and I struggled with that feeling. Today I will go to sleep much earlier.

Very well written! I don't think your time was wasted at all. You thought hard about a difficult problem and then you finally understood it. Eureka! It's great. It was time well spent.
