After an extremely productive morning, the remainder of yesterday resulted in less than fruitful attempts to write about the 'Future of Kosovo'. I think I know the reason for my so-called writers' block...and I think it would be best if I got it out of me now so I can go on and compose 19 pages (whoo! I wrote 1 pg. yesterday) of A-quality writing.
Here's the deal: I think I'm scared. A few weeks ago I prepared the best powerpoint presentation that I've ever made and they (there are 2 profs) gave me a "B" on it. I juggled 12 different student activities and still got near straight "A's" all through undergrad, so I get kinda intimidated when someone gives me a "B". (The pompousness of one of the profs doesn't help either...last week we did that simulation on Kashmir and he kept rudely interrupting people with an arrogant laugh, telling people that they were wrong.)
The funny thing is...this is the paper that I WANT TO WRITE. This has been my baby this semester, the project that I've thought of and ran through my head as I was falling asleep at night. (Yes, yes, I know, we graduate students in International Relations are just plain weirdos.) I know I'm a good writer, but this trait sure isn't very evident if you look at my attempts to write this paper on Kosovo. I think I've set extremely high standards for myself (I want to get an "A", dammit), and I just haven't been cranking out the elegant prose that I desire to. I kinda feel like the essay needs to be publishing-material, or otherwise it won't get an "A".
What's more, the essay itself is worth 65% of the total mark. 65%!? 
Yikes.
Okay, enough crabbin'. Time to get to work. Cheers, y'all.
8:19am (.:update:.) — Finally found my groove and I'm rockin' 
. And (BONUS!) I've come up with a title:
Approaching the Final Act:
The Kosovo Drama
Yay, it feels so good to know where I'm going. Ciao!
