Now that I have no more pressing matters to attend to (specifically, I had to do my taxes) and nobody else is using the computer, I can write a reply.
Mostly, this post reminded me of how I feel about doing homework. Once I almost had a panic attack from looking at a certain textbook. I think I don’t have to worry about this particular “ugh field” too much, though, because all I have to do to not have any more homework is to stay out of graduate school.
I probably have some other ones related to thinking about the future in general (I have a tendency to imagine that I’m headed for some horrible fate) and introspection in general (which tends to lead to feelings of worthlessness and wallowing in self-pity). I could try to go into more details, but, well, you know, Ugh Field! ;)
Don’t—the only way to disarm the electric fence is to get to the other side of it first.
