So part of being an academic is writing every day, so says the professor who says we can't have weekends. I suppose there is some value in writing every day though, because ultimately, it'll make me a more competent communicator of my ideas which is where I seem to go more wrong than right. I guess I'm realizing how articulate so many people can sound, but when it comes down to it, actually fail to articulate what they were really trying to convey. And I guess that's why we depend on the ones around us who understand the motivation behind what we communicate. There's a safety buffer there to what you're trying to articulate and what you're actually articulating. But it seems like that's a complicated buffer to fiddle with.

How's that for vague, shall we say, meta-babble?

In more normal words, boxing was fun last night. Talk about sweating up a storm and punching aggressions out (and praying, dear god, that I don't compromise my climbing hands in any way). God bless endorphins. :)
