Stupid Slipper Face
So, I've been working away at my master's thesis. I've been outlining, writing, and reading for hours on end. I have to admit, it gets to making one feel pretty smart. And it's a necessary feeling in order to give my thoughts and arguments that intellectual weight which keeps them going. But it's sad times when I'm mocked in my brilliance by my slippers.I always wear my slippers in the house. My feet get too cold just socked. When I read, I like to stretch out my legs and prop my feet up on a little ottoman. When I get a brilliant, earth-and-academy-shattering inspiration, I look up from my book and down at my slippers, where my idea is immediately belittled by Stupid Slipper Face.
I worked up a little drawing in Microsoft Paint to show what I mean (please forgive the wonky technology, but then again, don't knock Paint). On the left is a crude rendition of my slipper. On the right, Stupid Slipper Face:
In conclusion, I'm never going to get this thesis done.

Fantastic. This is how my brain works.
Eight months later, I have a big project due May 1 too. But I don't wear slippers.
