Deadline

Feeling slightly hysterical. Like I want to laugh and cry, and nothing I write is good enough, because this is an essay that could win me $2,000 for college, and I've forgotten to write it till the night before. And I hate it, because it's too verbose and frivolous, as all my writing always is; but I hate the scholarship, too, because it wants a boring, horrible list of accomplishments, with simple, stated brilliance, which I cannot write in a million years.

So I'll just breathe and write what comes out, and hope that it implies a little brilliance, at least enough to merit those $2,000. I don't need it, but it would be nice.

Breathe.
