failure...

i am sitting here taking yet another break from this stupid new testament exegesis paper. i have been pouring over this thing for the last two weeks trying to turn the exegesis of four verses into a six page paper. i can discuss exegesis and methods therein for hours, but for some reason turning those thoughts into a coherent paper is eating at my soul.

there is always that issue i have with basing my academic worth on the opinions of my professors in their grading of my papers. it doesn't help that i have way more going on in my head that is unnecessary for this paper than i can sort through. the basic idea is to use exegesis to support and refute an interpretation of this passage. that's all well and good, but i can't find the words to make this paper seem effective.

i know this is a rant in the midst of a poor state of mind, but i just needed to get all that off my chest. okay. back to typing...
