school makes me throw up a little

These essays in grad school are tricky.

Not only do you have to contend with part-time jobs, teaching, marking papers, and attending class and meetings, which take up the majority of the time you don't spend sleeping,

but

you also have to be able to come up with original arguments for your papers.

I'm on my last essay now, and it's especially tricky, because I totally pulled this comparison out of my ass, and now I have to prove it. I'm going to actually do the proving some time later in another paper, but until now I have to explain myself for one small section of it. And that's hard. I can find plenty of information about one thing, and plenty about another thing, and another thing. So that's not a problem. It's the linking of them together in some manner of sensical form that's the sketchy part. And I have to do it well, otherwise I'll get laughed at.
