Dear Self,
Your writing does not suck. Your writing is good, and the professor said so. You did not do the assignment properly, and so she wants it redone, but that does not mean your writing sucks and you do not need to beat yourself over the head with imaginary fifty-pound hammers.
Hormones, however, do in fact suck, and you should blame this ridiculous behaviour on them.
Relax. Have a flakie mango.
The other half of your brain
