If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Burned out...

I am taking too many bloody credits. I've got a million things to read, some hours to fill for work study, more stuff to read for my job with the agency, not to mention a kid to take care of and a wife who I would occasionally like to spend time with.
Everything I've been doing as far as school goes involves creativity. I write for a creative writing class or I read and analyze (which does take creativity) for my other classes. But I'm reading one to three hundred pages every day, talking about it in class, then I'm reading my clients' manuscripts for work, and then I'm writing my assignments. It is absolutely impossible to be "on" and creative and analyze things all the time. I keep telling myself if I can just get through the rest of this quarter, I will be able to survive anything.
Gah!
Too much of a good thing. Like nailing an entire sorority house in one night. Which I've also done and regretted.

Oh ho kind sir, your dance between fiction and nonfiction brings much arousal to these parts, not unlike Devestation #2.
