I really want to post on LiveJournal. There used to be a time when it seemed I could just dump on here every time I had something on my mind, or felt like I had something cool to share, or needed some support. But for the past few years, every time I've started to write a post, it's turned into a big production, trying to express some sort of complicated thought, and I've given up before submitting it. And on the rare occasions that I would make posts, I'd get discouraged that nobody commented on them.
I want to reconnect with my LiveJournal friends. This site brings back a lot of happy memories. There are a lot of people on here I wish I'd gotten to know better.
I'm too busy to LJ much right now. It's exam time, and even though I only have one actual exam to write (Differential Equations), I've got two fairly massive final papers due (Syntax and East Asian Politics), a computer game to release (Software Development), and in my own time I'm gradually working toward getting a math paper of mine written and published.
The math paper is actually the thing that's been on my mind the most lately, even if it's the least time-sensitive thing. Just today I submitted a 10-page summary of it to a math professor, who is arranging a meeting with another professor to determine whether my idea is original and publishable. Here's hoping.
Well, would you look at that? I made a LJ post without having to agonize about it. I should try this again sometime.
