I also got an A. I guess it was writing?<br /><br />I loved the details you used, the typewriter, even the description of the typewriter ball, how your parents wouldn't be ok with a failing grade.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974137283220034062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-3842258806951141402011-10-11T13:33:25.039-05:002011-10-11T13:33:25.039-05:00I love how we procrastinate as teens (and adults, ...I love how we procrastinate as teens (and adults, I still do!). We just had so many more important things going on. Right? It's lovely that you struggled with writing then and now are doing it regularly.

Re-reading post coffee, I caught on to your point about over-thinking a thing. Over-thinking is more powerful than the specter of blank white paper when it comes to not writing.

Even now, although my sense of job preservation keeps it in check to some extent, I still get irritated when someone wants me to do something but they can't tell me why.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05112972195028944426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1079589059457212218.post-57614578632354834172011-10-11T07:10:26.512-05:002011-10-11T07:10:26.512-05:00I can so, so relate to the -ahem- stubbornness iss...I can so, so relate to the -ahem- stubbornness issues.<br /><br />i love that your moment included a typewriter.
