So people often ask if I'm going to grad school and I say no and here is the short and simple reason why not: I hate writing essays. There are maybe two essays in the history of ever that I have actively enjoyed writing. The rest of the time, it is pulling teeth.

I am writing what should be my last big essay of this degree but I can't even celebrate that fact because I just hate it so. much.

Also, I have a friend who writes her essays like weeks in advance and then there is me who starts essays two hours before they are due. (Profs say they can tell. I take it as a challenge. I declare them all to be liars.) And so I love conversations such as this--

betaraider: "What if you don't finish in time?"
Sarah: "I always do."
betaraider: "But what if you don't?"
Sarah: "But I always do."

hahaha I would say that I work well under pressure except I don't think I actually do and in case I haven't mentioned? I HATE IT.
