Eep.... I've finally found myself motivated enough to begin writing this damn essay, only to further find that it's impossible. How the hell is anyone supposed to describe any "meaningful" experience in 250 words or less? Maybe other people are different, but from my experience, anything meaningful is either (a) absolutely impossible to describe in any number of words; events have meaning because they are rare, unusual, etc, and leave us afterwards thinking "What the hell just happened?" and not much else, or (b) an event which requires a whole lot more than 250 words, as mentioned yesterday. God damn it.
