School ruins your life

...and boy am I having one of those experiences right now!

This is ridiculous. I'm a five page paper due for a class, that I've been working on for five days. I did all of the reading long ago, and I thoroughly understand it. The problem is, that the instructor wants the paper written in a very specific way, conveying very specific things. We also have to have 20 citations listed for it to be considered complete. I have write-in probably about 20 or more pages worth of material, all to no avail. If I didn't have this dictation software, I would have the worst headache in the world, combined with shoulder pain that would feel like I had a screwdriver and bedded in my neck. That is the one bright point of this whole experience -- that I don't have to suffer by typing. It has been pointed out to me on numerous occasions by Kevin, that this is just a hint of what's to come, as far as grad school is concerned. How am I ever supposed to get through that? I can barely even imagine taking my GREs, much less slogging through masters thesis hell. Fuck that shit...

Amen, brother. I do admire your determination and perseverance at the academic self-flagellation practice but perhaps it's time to try a little France in your pants. Well, not literally, of course.
