Dear Universe,
CAN YOU NOT TAKE A HINT? I have been sabotaging myself on purpose for the last 3 months so that I would have a reason to quit this endeavor! Why, universe, why are you making my life so difficult? I deliberately procrastinated so that nobody would be able to read my article by the deadline, then made a list of professors who would not want to read the article anyway in order to get no for an answer.
And INSTEAD, the very first professor agrees to read it, but tells me that he really only has time in the next week. My article is nowhere near completion, especially as I had to add another tweak to my thesis tonight which is going to take substantial revision. THIS IS NOT A FUNNY JOKE, UNIVERSE. NO ONE IS LAUGHING.
When I get through this next month and a half, we are going to have a talk, Universe. And when I say "we," I mean you, me, and the Large Hadron Collider. We'll see how funny everything is when I END YOU FOR YOUR INSOLENCE.
My apologies to everyone who is going to lose out in this battle between myself and the Universe. You are mere fluff caught in a cosmic battle for my sanity.
Respectfully yours,
Amanda in Chicago
