I'm at a, not wholey unfamiliar, point right now where everything I want to write is coming out wrong. I don't mean it gets misinterpreted because I'm not writing my thoughts clearly, rather my thought won't come out in any satisfactory way. I'll have a notion in mind, write it down, while going back and re-writing entire sentances along the way, and find the whole thing inadequate, sloppy, or guilty of some other defect of composition no one but me can detect upon reading it. This has been going on for over a week now, and makes my papers take an inordanite amount of time to complete during a period when I have precious little time to spare. Needless to say, this is frustrating.
Also, a belated Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Hopefully it was much better then mine, which was not truly bad, but not quite pleasant, a significant portion of it being spent attempting to write papers while plagued with the above. It also does not help that the aunt whom I visited, to whose house I was told to bring no food to as she greatly enjoys cooking and knows I'm a vegetarian, apparently believed vegetarians subsist entirely on salads, everything else having had meat in it. The opportunity to spend time with relatives I rarely see throughout the year, though, made it worth it.
Also, why do people assume I must be as cold as they are? Really, you would think at least my family would have realized by now just how silly that notion is.
