Haunted

So I finally got my eval for syntax. Apparently my work was alright, but what really killed me was my informal writing. damnit. My writing is really informal, I'll admit, very unscientific. Always figured it didn't matter, as long as what I am trying to explain is clear and obvious. I guess the problem with informal writing is the point becomes less obvious, but I normally keep this in mind while working. I dunno, I think I write in the style I do because it keeps me sane. I hate having to read through huge essays that are in that dreary paper voice, if that makes any sense to anyone aside from myself. I like to keep my essays light and informal in tone because it helps me write it, and its way easier for me to go back and proofread it. I guess the downside is smart people don't take me seriously. I think part of the informality was me staying up til 5am every night half asleep trying to write all those damn papers. I do remember some mornings waking up and thinking, "god i did not write that did i?" well, things to work on in the comming term: more formal writing voice, more sensible sleeping hours.
