Timed essay tests make Ashley cry. I cannot do timed essays. My writing process is like the slow, inexorable progress of a glacier. Actually, no. My writing is exorable as a motherfucker. My writing process is like the progress of a sloth, slow and with frequent snack breaks. I need time to sit and stare into space while my brain sorts itself out. There is no sorting potential if I'm being timed. There is only scribbling down whatever comes into my head and doing a desperate 15 second proofread, so not only does what I have to say not make sense, it’s also the grammatical equivalent of being mauled by bears.
I had to endure that in Brit lit today, and I had to do it in a state of unwashed grotesqueness. I need to either stop napping during the day or get an alarm clock with a Punch You In The Face setting. Or, here's an idea: I don't stay up until ass o'clock clicking through del.icio.us links. Fucking del.icio.us. I blame it entirely.
( Well. Maybe not entirely. Warning: Bandom content. )
...I seriously did not mean to drift into Ode To Bandom there.
ETA: I'm a little disappointed in myself for getting through an entire post on April Fools without trying to rickroll anyone.
