no, seriously

This might come across as a rather facetious post, but I assure you that it's almost entirely sincere (with the exception of the last line). I am convinced that I become possessed while writing essays. Somewhere between conception and completion, a period I generally spend slamming my head against various items of furniture, some inexplicable click occurs, and I am suddenly left with a structured, coherent and finished essay, without feeling as though I had very much at all to do with it. It follows that when my grades are delivered, I invariably feel as though I do not deserve them, seeing as I had nothing to do with the work that earned it in the first place. It is all rather disconcerting. I am therefore offering a small reward to anyone who finds my academic poltergeist, plzthx, and email me if you do.
