I'm feeling very unmotivated to complete my PhD applications today. I often find myself in the strange limbo space of action and inaction when it comes to my applications. The only thing that seems more oppressive than pouring out my soul to admissions officers, who are likely to flit through my application without spending any real time on it (and consideration of how much time I spent agonizing over the words I chose to use in each statement of purpose, teaching philosophy, or writing sample), is pouring out my thoughts to students on their papers -- mainly because they will treat my comments much like the admissions officers will (students rarely if ever read comments on papers)

To be brief...the motivation department closed early today and is likely to be on holiday until the end of the week!

My Fellow Americans,

I don't mean to sound slutty, but please feel free to use me any time you want!

Sincerely,
Grammar
