Intros are not my forte

So i am editing an essay that I wrote last semester because it will be a sample of my academic writing and the structure of it is kind of inadequate, it isnt smart enough and so i want to work out some kinks, maybe try to re-write it now that its all in one spot.

whats shit is that i've already written this essay in even worse format not knowing that what i was talking about was such a big doomsday subject that it is, and that just as i was stuck then looking for any kind of structure or rotation, so too was i when i wrote this one last semester, and now i am writing it AGAIN.

I've avoided this edit all of christmas break. i avoided writing the essay for the class till the night before. the story in my head makes sense, but it doesnt have a very good place to start. it, like its content it is defending, is crazy, and no format i have found can put crazy onto the paper and represent itself fairly while being academic.

crazy and academic. once i had a grad student chum of mine tell me i had just enough crazy to get through a masters. im not so sure, but of COURSE im not sure eh thats PART of the crazy, if crazy were part of crazy it would make no sense to the rules of crazy to feel comfortable and confident about the crazy you are trying to show the world.

How do you start the sentences that will lead you to talk about the big giant mess humanity is in?

in the very way the illness is misrepresented and taken in charge of, so too are all my words and all my resentment for the fact in the subject.

Well, im going to do the only thing i know that helps when im at the border of sanity.

A + to the students who know what I'm going to do next.
