“Parts of it Were Particularly Well Written”
So I guess that's why I got an A- on the assignment. Oh well. I'da been much more disappointed had it been a B+ like the other one. Jesus. You know, I'm beginning to lose faith in my writing, too. I just need to write more. No more television. I've been watching too much lately. I'm sure I've watched more television in the last month or so than I did all last semester. I swear. It allows me to turn my head off, which is something I guess I've needed to do. Unfortunately, it's also affecting my brain. My thoughts are muddled, my attention span is shorter, and, well, my writing is suffering. At least I have identified the things I need to read. I picked up Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis the other day. It's Lacan. Apparently he's tough. But I need it. And I need Foucault. And more Butler. And more literary theory. I need a lot, and I'm plagued by a constant feeling of academic inadequacy. This is not a new feeling. It never left from last fall. I think I just got used to dealing with it. We'll see what happens. My hands are chilly, so I'm not going to write anymore now. I've got nothing to say anyway.
