The reason why writers block is a death sentence for the science student.
I am trying to write a very short paper.........three pages....on a very complicated topic. I can get it somewhat straight in my head....at least enough that I myself can understand....but I can't somehow get it out and explained in that limited amount of space. Let me provide you with a visual of my brain at this moment.
Jessi's brain
Provided that everyones brain operates by hampster(s), my brain is that of a science student and therefore has a boxed in perspective of experimentation. It has one hampster. This hampster runs in a wheel. In a very logical,one track kind of way. One idea at a time. you get the point. In contrast the arts student brain is creative. It consists of many hampsters running around in a field. In this feild of hampsters many possibilities and ideas may exist at the same time.
Now we can see what happens when the different brains experiance writers block....so to speak.
envision the hampsters in the arts students brain. They are running about. Running, running frolicking in the meadow, thinking of many explanations and many possibilites all at once. They can do this becuase of a division of labor. One hampster holds one explanation to one thing. Another hampster might hold another explanation to that thing. When an exlpanation is required the little hampsters speal what they know. Now when an arts student has writers block the little hampsters run into there little holes and hide. Now this is easily fixed becuase remember the arts student has many hampsters. They just have to wait for one to speak up or come back out of its whole. The arts student sometimes finds that a little alcohol or a joint of marajuana works well for getting the little bastards out of there holes.
The science hampster.
Envision the hampster in the science students brain. It is happily running in its little wheel. Around and around it goes.....happily running, producing thoughts on the paper currently being written. All of a sudden it experiances writes block. Someone jams a stick into the poor bloks wheel and the little hampster is flipped upside down by the sudden stopping of its wheel. Now as you recall the science brain has only one hampster. Therefore when the hampster gets injured or dies......the scientist has to find a whole new damn hampster to run its god damn wheel instead of just waiting for one to come back out of its hole or speak up! Now you may be thinking why not use alcohol like the arts student to revive the little sucker.....well.... Alcohol doesn't work in the scientists brain becuase if the hampster becomes impaired it can't run in its damn wheel and now its really fucked becasue not only is it an injured or walking corpse but now its drunk too. Effectivly screwing itself two-fold. All this equates to the scientist being fucked.
Therefore I am fucked. I am going to fail because some idiot stuck a stick in my hampsters wheel. And then the little bastard got drunk.
Furthermore I have clearly gone completely insane.
Congrats if you read all this......seriously you need a cookie or something.
