Peristiwa Pemberontakkan Medulla Oblongata 2009

Doing an assignment that requires an essay:

1. I start a few days later then when I should have.

2. Reading the question. Heavy use of highlighters, scribbles in the margins of tentative points, sketchy ideas(both written and imagined) of how to go about answering it.

3. Brainstorming. Moderately easy, once you get the flow going. Lots of scribbles, mostly in incoherent form, because after all, it's brainstorming. Plenty of time to sort trough the rubble that is my illegible handwriting and mold it into a coherent and concise essay.

3. Attempt to start writing. Don't know how to begin, I jump to the middle. I start on a point, am stumped on how to elaborate,fit in examples or integrate references, so I start a new one. If I'm lucky, the document will soon be full of one-line 'paragraphs'.

4. Often struggle to make a decent sentence or to write down what I want to say, and find myself thinking "What the hell do I want say anyway?". Fail to switch on the lightbulb that is my thoughts or my (non-existent) academic intellect.

5. Coherence and conciseness commit suicide. Incoherence and long-winded ramblings throw a party to celebrate.

6. I start thinking how much flunking this assignment is going to cost my overall grade.

Aku dah mengantuk la wei! Katil aku dah tunggu aku. Apa pasal otak aku tak boleh keluarkan ayat-ayat yang bernas? Tengok, sampai dah blog dalam melayu, padahal kena tulis essay dalam english. Nampak sangat tengah memberontak.
