Back in high school, there were a few times in which I thought it
would be impossible to complete all the things I needed to finish.
Especially during senior year, when I was taking a far larger load
than I ever have taken here, there were several late Thursday nights
when I had to complete large papers that I could never have written
at my normal 1pg/hr rate, and not even at triple that rate. I
remember thinking a few times "if I can finish this paper, I can do
anything" and also managed to get the work done. It was simply
amazing.
I can't do that anymore. Maybe I'm too old, or maybe I'm just not
as good as I used to be, but more likely I lost that part of me
that enabled me to do anything. I wish I could get it back.
Maybe this belongs in pipe dreams....
