"I never run out of thoughts." "I'll always have something to write about." Well, at least that's what I assumed of myself when I began this blog. But, surprise! wrong! I've spent two full days in front a computer screen, composing essay after discussion, discussion after essay. No, six classes isn't too many. 28 assignments is! After I've turned off the computer for the day, I continue to engage in words: listening to the sports network, endless analysis that makes me want to yell "Just get to the point!"... reading a fitness or political magazine, which say in a hundred different ways the same old facts... playing trivia games with my sister...
Words: racing around my head, shouting in my ears, flashing before my eyes. Words, intended to convey meaning but instead confusing me all the more. After days like today, where I've been writing academic papers nonstop, I try to talk and -blahg! - word salad. My expressions come out in warbled, disarranged nonsense phrases. Ah, but I have sympathetic listeners in the safety of my home: a sister who laughs at me, a husband who hugs me, and a puppy who just wants a scratch and a biscuit.
You could not have used your words better to say this. I know this feeling. You writing and writing and write some more. School is never ending. When break time comes I feel like I used all my brain power. I have no more thoughts or words left to say.
