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.
Hmmmm . . . .
