Touched by the void.
I finally cleared out the 2583 messages in my inbox today. I sort of delayed deleting them, because I knew there were some really nice things people sent me inside. You may be going '...' right now. Fair enough. That said, it's nice to see it filling up again. Haha.
And I think that I've let go of much of that poison I've been keeping inside, as well. It's good to have friends who can give you perspective. They let you know when you're being a competitive, obsessed prick, or when you're harboring unnecessary resentment. Though it's unrelated to more personal issues, my attitude during writing has been producing a wealth of negative emotions. Haha. I want so badly to be good that I've become excessively critical of the works of others. Which is not to say that I agree with my teacher's "100% supportive, feel good positive" style of teaching, but that it's important to not let a sense of competition blind you to seeing the good things in the works of others.
This semester, I'm only doing 4 modules, one of which is unexaminable. This time round, there are year 3 and 4 poachers to contend with, as well as phantom GPA 4.9ers and mystery men to deal with. I have no idea how I'm going to do in my writing class, either. Hmmm. Guess I'll give myself one more week to get it in gear.
